PREP

The machines that go in front.

PREP does two jobs. It separates oil, water and food waste (that is the SEPARATOR), and it grinds or shreds larger material first — coconut, oyster shell, lemongrass.

Nine tools, each rated for its own material and task Grinders · shredders · chippers Glass crusher · bin lifter

Each one refuses almost everything.

A glass crusher takes glass. The husk shredder will not accept a wet green coconut. Each tool is deliberately narrow, so the machine downstream only gets what it can handle.

What PREP is for

Whole in, smaller out.

Three steps. Only some of what comes out goes on to a composter.

01
01 · it arrives whole
Glass, husk, branch and shell.The streams a composter is not built to take, plus the bones and cooked food that have to be broken down first.
02
02 · narrow by design
Each tool is narrow.The glass crusher takes glass and nothing else. The chippers take wood and branches only. That is the design, not a limitation.
03
03 · where it goes
Not all of it composts.Ground food and soft-peel slurry go on to a composter or a digester. Crushed glass does not. Collect and handle the crushed glass according to the equipment instructions.
The tools

Two of the nine, by name.

A grinder that reduces food waste before it reaches a composter, and a shredder built for husk.

Grinder A stainless hopper over a direct-drive motor, on a wheeled frame. It reduces food waste before it reaches the machine that composts it.
A green drum shredder with a belt-driven electric motor and a wide inlet chute, beside a split coconut husk
Shredder A belt-driven drum with a wide inlet chute, with a split coconut husk beside it. Husk is the SG10-3P’s job.

Not shown to scale. Dry husk and shavings only: the shredder must not be fed a wet green coconut.

The rule on the wall

Each tool takes one thing.

Nine named tools, and not one of them is general-purpose. Print it and tape it above the bay, so nobody has to remember which machine takes what.

NEVER: A WET GREEN COCONUT IN THE HUSK SHREDDER SG10-3P takes dry husk and shavings only. A whole green coconut goes to CCG-75.

Also in the PREP range

Storage and handling, not pre-processing. These two sit alongside the tools above, but they hold and move waste rather than reduce it.

MBM-27 / MBM-40
Organic Waste Turn Drum. A manual compost tumbler, 270 L (30 kg a day) or 400 L (60 kg a day). Garden waste only. It is intended for garden waste, rather than the kitchen food-waste stream. Warranty two years.

FWB-24 / FWB-48 / FWB-72
Food Waste Bin Chiller. Refrigerated bin storage, 240 L per door, one to three doors, holding waste at 4–10 °C until it is processed. R290 refrigerant, HFC-free. Storage, not processing. Warranty two years.

Power draw, daily kWh and noise. Ask us for any model and we will send them. Each tool is rated for its own task, in units such as kilograms per hour, cubic metres per hour or bags per hour. Use the individual model’s rating when selecting equipment. CE marked — all models. Tell us what you need to process so we can recommend the right tool.

Next step

Tell us what jams, and what you carry out.

Tell us about a week of your waste: what it is, roughly how much, and what your current machine refuses. We will tell you which of these tools fits in front of it, or that you do not need one at all.
