5 Tons Composting System
5000 kg/day composting system for central food waste collection sites
What The TMK-5000 Carbon Steel Does
The 5 Tons Composting System is an industrial composting machine that turns roughly 5000 kg of organic waste a day into nutrient-rich compost in 21 to 24 hours using a dry composting technique. It handles food scraps, meat, peelings, fish waste, soft bones and compostable cardboard and food packaging. The unit is installed at the waste source, which removes transport from the equation and reduces the carbon footprint of the operation.
What Changes After Installation
- Turns roughly 5000 kg of organic waste a day into compost in 21 to 24 hours
- Installed at the waste source, so haulage to a treatment site is no longer needed
- Hygienization stage at 70C for one hour eliminates harmful bacteria at the end of each cycle
- Deodorizer absorbs and reduces foul odours, keeping the surrounding area workable
- Output is nutrient-rich compost usable in horticulture at a 1 to 10 compost to soil ratio

How It Compares
| TMK-5000 Waste Recycling Machine | Same class of capacity. This Carbon Steel Series unit is specified with a carbon steel body rather than the stainless commercial build. |
|---|---|
| Open windrow composting | Windrows need land, weeks of turning and produce odour. This is a sealed in-vessel cycle that finishes in 21 to 24 hours. |

5 Tons Composting System Questions
How much waste does the 5 Tons Composting System handle?
About 5000 kg of organic waste per day, in a 21 to 24 hour cycle.
Can it take compostable packaging and cardboard?
Yes. If the packaging and cardboard content is high you may need to add moisture, because the microbes need a balanced diet.
How often does it need unloading?
Unloading should only happen once every one to three weeks, even though waste is added continuously.
Are the microbes dangerous to staff?
They are activated at regulated temperatures of 50C or higher and are said to pose no threat to humans or animals.
How is the compost hygienized?
At the end of the cycle the tank is raised to 70C for one hour to eliminate all harmful bacteria.
Can throughput go above 5 tonnes?
Paired with a sorting platform, oil and water separator, shredder and squeezer, the same machine has been set up to reach 8 tonnes a day.
