What the TMK-5000 Composter Does
The TMK-5000 is the largest machine TMK builds, designed for large-scale food industries disposing of organic waste. It reduces waste through indirect heating by heaters while aerobic bacterial composting runs, and it is equipped with a dedicated deodorization unit because a machine this size is rarely far from something else. At 6500 mm long and 5460 kg it is a fixed installation, sized for sites that measure organic waste in tons rather than bins.

Why This Model and Not the Next One Up
1800 tons of organic waste per year processed on site, which removes that tonnage from the hauling contract entirely
Volume reduction of 85 to 90 percent, so what still leaves the site is a fraction of what arrived
Dedicated deodorization unit rather than a general exhaust, for plants sited near other operations
WiFi, touch screen and PLC control so a plant maintenance team can read the cycle from the panel
Clients using on-site composting report significant reductions in waste management costs and a reduced carbon footprint
Buyers This Model Suits
- Large-scale food industries disposing of various types of organic waste
- Municipalities and waste management operators handling district organics
- Sites with an existing on-site waste yard, three phase power and crane or forklift access
- Operations reporting on carbon footprint where waste transport is a measured line
What It Takes Off Your Plate
- Disposal cost that scales directly with production volume
- Environmental pollution risk carried by large quantities of stored organic waste
- Long haul transport of wet waste, which is both fuel cost and CO2
- Odour emissions at a scale that would draw complaints from a nearby community
Where It Gets Installed
Food processing plant running the machine as a continuous waste line alongside production
Municipal or district organics point serving multiple commercial buildings
Military base or large institutional campus with its own waste yard
Port and maritime operation handling galley and cargo organic waste
How It Is Built
- Aerobic bacterial composting type with reduction of waste through indirect heating by heaters
- Lifting plus fermentation and deodorization function in one machine
- Equipped with a deodorization unit as the odour control mechanism
- WiFi, touch screen and PLC control
- Micro-organism added every 3 to 6 months rather than per batch
- Q235 machine body with spray paint finish
Materials
- Q235 structural steel body with spray paint finish
Process Sequence
Load → Indirect heating → Aerobic bacterial composting → Deodorization → Discharge organic fertilizer

TMK-5000 Composter in Detail



What Is Controlled and Protected
- PLC controlled cycle so process conditions are held rather than estimated
- Deodorization unit treats exhaust before release
- Factory assembly, test, installation and commissioning handled in house by TMK
What Can Be Configured
- Configuration for tonnage above a single unit quoted per project
- Feeding and lifting arrangement matched to site access
- Power supply confirmed against the destination country before shipment
How It Compares
Compared with
TMK-2000 Composter
The TMK-2000 handles 2000 kg per day and 750 tons per year at 23 KW. Step up to the TMK-5000 when daily tonnage passes 2 tons or when the deodorization unit is needed.
Compared with
Off-site composting facility
Hauling to a facility keeps the transport leg, its fuel cost and its emissions. On-site processing removes it and cuts 85 to 90 percent of the weight before anything moves.
Compared with
Open windrow composting
Windrows need months, large land area and regular turning, and odour is managed in the open. This is an enclosed in-vessel machine with a 24 hour cycle.
Running the TMK-5000 Composter
- Separate organics rigorously. Contamination with plastics, metals and glass impedes the process and degrades the product
- Feed continuously through the shift rather than in one load
- Top up micro-organism every 3 to 6 months
- Discharge organic fertilizer and route it to its planned offtake
- Keep the deodorization unit on its service schedule
Accepted input: Vegetable leaves, leftovers, vegetable peel, fish, meat, shrimp shells, crab shells, egg shells, small bones, bread, coffee grounds.
Keep out: Plastic products, metals, ceramics, fuel oil, solvents, large wood, large animal bones, cloth, other domestic waste, hazardous waste.
TMK-5000 Composter Questions
What is the annual throughput of the TMK-5000
1800 tons per year at the rated 5000 kg per day.
What are the machine dimensions and weight
6500 mm long by 2936 mm wide by 3095 mm high, weighing 5460 kg. Confirm access and floor loading before delivery.
What power supply does it need
25 KW at AC380V 60Hz.
How is odour controlled at this scale
The machine is equipped with a deodorization unit as its odour control mechanism, and it is an enclosed in-vessel system rather than an open pile.
How long is a cycle
Within 24 hours, the same as the rest of the TMK range.
