It is simple and practical because the most unpleasant fraction of the waste stream - the food waste, is being dealt with hygienically on a daily basis. You empty your food waste into Big Hanna Composter every day. The average process time inside the machine is 8-10 weeks. The aeration and turning is done automatically which means that the natural decomposition process works perfectly from start to finish. The finished compost is automatically fed in to a bag or bin ready to be mixed with soil or put on maturation bay. The composting process takes place in an in-vessel composting unit so there are no unpleasant odours on-site. Our customers have all high demands on an economical and functional handling of food waste. We have a vast experience from our many installations and can make sure that the whole chain, from food waste to compost, works as smoothly and simple as possible.
