How our food composters work

The Bio Materials Digester (BMD). As you navigate the challenges of food waste management, our BMD food composters offers an innovative approach through its advanced enzymatic aerobic digestion technique.

 

About BMD – Breaking Barriers in Food Waste Management

Unlike traditional food composters, the BMD doesn’t yield compost as a final product. This unique approach eliminates the need for additional waste management, reducing workload and hassle. Our tailored machines are designed to handle not only solid food waste but also liquid products like soups and sauces. Through our enzymatic process, we break down these food products into smaller, manageable components, a feat unmatched by any other liquid food digester in the market.

 

Enzymatic Aerobic Digestion: Unveiling the Process

The BMD machine’s expertise lies in its ability to break down food waste fast and efficiently through enzymatic aerobic digestion. This process harnesses the power of our special enzymes mixes in combination with our machine and a monitored process to transform complex organic compounds into simpler components.

Enzymes, the catalysts of the natural world, take center stage in this process. Our unique enzyme mixes are specially developed for the BMD machine, and target specific organic molecules in the food waste, initiating their breakdown. Proteases tackle proteins, lipases address fats, and carbohydrases handle carbohydrates. As a result, large, complex molecules are transformed into smaller, more manageable fragments.

food composters started 70 years ago

Since the early 1950s, researchers have been studying aerobic digestion, and since the 1980s, many sewage treatment plants have used a combination of aerobic and anaerobic digestion. Modern food composters are now an accessible, sustainable, and cost-effective solution for organic food waste disposal in most organizations, notably in the hospitality industry, thanks to advances in research and technology over the last few decades.

Aerobic digestion, on the other hand, should not be confused with anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic digestion, while similar to aerobic digestion, does not require oxygen and is thus slower and less effective. Anaerobic digestion also produces methane, a harmful greenhouse gas that we want to avoid, as well as hydrogen sulfide, also known as “rotten egg gas.” To cope with food waste, food waste digesters use aerobic digestion.

1. Fill the food composters with organic food waste.
2. Incorporate unique microbial blends
3. To aid aerobic digestion, the digestor oxygenates food waste.
4. Food waste is digested and broken down into tiny bits before being discharged as wastewater.
5. The wastewater is filtered through a screen and grease arrestor before being discharged into the existing plumbing system.

Decomposition time

Our food composters can be used 24/7. And food waste can be added during the day. This prevents overloading the food digester when all the food waste from one day is added all at once. There are a lot of reasons why one food waste type digest quicker than another one. Most of the food waste will digest within 24 hours. Size, hardness of the product, and amount of water in the product

For compostable packaging, it is the same. There is also a big difference in composting time. Especially when the material is thicker and has a large size. Therefore, it will most likely take longer to digest compostable packaging in our food composters than it does to compost food waste.

Free of odors

Quiet operation

Eliminate flies, rodents, and smells

Plant-based Biochips

Biochips: We wanted to create food composters that can digest food and compostable packaging that has a positive impact on the environment. The reason why most companies switch to plant-based packagings like PLA bottles, cups and cutlery is that they want to step away from fossil plastic. Fossil plastic creates microplastics in the environment –  Microplastic creates numerous health issues for animals and people. 
That’s why we needed to find a solution for the biochips. Because all other food composters are using biochips made from fossil plastic, that release microplastic into the greywater and into our water stream. And after several years when the Biochips are replaced by new ones. the old ones are dumped in the garbage onto the landfill or incineration. Where they create even more harmful toxic and microplastics. 

And that’s why we created our special 100% plant-based biochips for our food composter. 
No harmful microplastics, no harmful toxic, Nothing. And you know what the beauty is from our Biochips? You don’t need to remove them from the food composters! When you add the new biochips you just leave the old ones in because they slowly decompose in our food composters.

Our food composters

Our food composters, Is composting food waste on-site in 24 hours with no odor or noise. Significantly reduce the cost to dispose of and manage waste food. Eliminate smells, mess, and pests from your trash bins. By using the food digester, you are reducing the amount of space and energy needed to remove the unwanted food scraps from your facility. It doesn’t need collecting, transporting, or piling up in a landfill.

Environmental Impact: Redefining Sustainable Practices

The BMD food composters is drastically reducing CO2 emissions through the elimination of traditional waste transportation, it sets the stage for cleaner communities. The eradication of methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas, adds a powerful climate change-fighting element to its repertoire. Moreover, the reduction of microplastics released from waste truck traffic contributes to healthier ecosystems and water bodies.

Operational Excellence: Efficiency and Ease Combined

The BMD machine is effortless food waste processing, reducing physical labor, and enhancing hygiene form its operational core. Bid farewell to pests and welcome real-time waste monitoring that empowers informed decisions. Your team’s efforts can be redirected towards higher-value tasks, thanks to BMD’s streamlined processes.

Financial Advantage: Paving the Way to Savings

Say hello to cost savings, eliminated container pickups and logistics. Reduced maintenance costs and optimized personnel efficiency further contribute to your bottom line. Additionally, BMD’s eco-friendly image aligns perfectly with modern consumer preferences, enhancing your reputation and market positioning.
