The range

Sized by the waste, not the building.

Choose from three food-waste systems: LIGHT and HARDSTOCK commercial composters, OUTFLOW liquid digesters, and PANTRY for smaller daily loads. Separators and PREP tools support the system your site needs.

1 · With compost

Food waste in, compost back.

Treated where it is made, with cycle time depending on the model. Most run in 12–24 hours; MW15 runs in 24–48 hours. What comes out is dry compost you can use. Two series, sized by how much you make a day and how hard it is to break down.

2 · Liquid only

Nothing solid to carry away.

Food waste goes in and leaves as a liquid, to the drain through an approved site connection. No compost, and nothing to collect.

Accessories

Bought with a machine, not instead of one.

They separate or reduce what goes in first, so the machine behind them gets what it can handle. More accessories can be added.

WOF

SEPARATOR

Water, oil and food waste, separated.

Not a composter. It goes in front of one, separating water, oil and food waste so the drain and the grease trap stay clear. It is rated by the hour, not by the day, because it handles a flow rather than a batch.

  • Water
  • Oil and grease
  • Food waste solids
200–400 kg/hour See Separator →

PREP

Grinders, shredders, glass crusher.

The equipment that goes in front of the composter. It grinds or shreds larger material first — coconut, oyster shell, lemongrass — so the machine behind it gets what it can handle.

  • Grinders
  • Shredders and chippers
  • Glass crusher
  • Bin lifter

Choosing

Three questions guide the choice.

How much food waste do you handle, what is in it, and do you want compost back or a liquid output? Large bones and hard shells need a crushing chamber; LIGHT handles soft waste and small bones. We also check access, available space and utilities before specifying the installation.

Ask which machine fits → Stamp: weigh it first

Not sure which one?

Three categories, and the accessories that go with them. Tell us the kilograms you make in a day and we will point you at the one that fits. Don’t know your kg a day? Work it out from your bins in ten minutes →
