In Vessel composting technology is an aerobic composting method meaning oxygen is present and circulated within the process. There is an odour similar to a yeast smell which is contained with the composter. Sawdust/carbon pellets are also added to the process to absorb moisture and reduce odours. Rotten food waste smells and methane is typically generated when no oxygen is present ie in a biogas process or a closed static bin or bag.
All raw scraps and cooked food including meat, chicken, rotten foods, small bones. Pretty much everything produced in a kitchen. The only exclusions are milks, gravy and yoghurts. Naturally these cannot be composted and also requires too much additive to absorb excess moisture.
The Joraform technology is automated and requires very little skills to ensure the machine functions correctly. Full training to a number of operators will be provided including more in depth training to an overall project leader or manager.
Food waste has a high PH content and if not balanced with Carbon would burn your plants root systems and a really strong Amonia smell would be present. As part of the composting process a pine sawdust pellet is added to balance this high PH content, absorbs excess moisture and reduces odours. The sawdust is also a source of nutrient for the microbes that are busy at work decomposing the food waste. All life forms require Carbon and microbes are no different. The approx. carbon additive is 8%.
Due to the high temperatures generated inside the machine in excess of 60 degrees Celsius. These temperatures coupled with machine rotation, microbial activity and heat due not make for a fly friendly environment. The external parts of the machine should be regularly cleaned though.
