| Name | 1000BF Biofeed - Macerator |
| Model | 1000BF |
| Classification | Maceration , Organics Processing |
Operations
| Description or Purpose | Biofeed is an on-site food waste processing system designed to help businesses divert food waste from landfill and significantly reduce collection costs — by up to 70%. It’s ideal for high-waste sites such as shopping centres, hospitals, and hospitality venues seeking to cut costs, reduce emissions, and meet sustainability targets. |
| Operating Principles | Biofeed quickly macerates food waste into a slurry that is pumped to an external holding tank. The system reduces the need for daily bin changes, eliminates odour issues, and enables fast, hygienic disposal directly at the source. It supports compliance with upcoming NSW food waste diversion mandates and offers real operational savings. |
| Additional Information | Manufactured locally in NSW, Biofeed systems are backed by dedicated local technical support and stocked spare parts. Each unit includes an integrated tank with a weighing system, cloud-based data collection, and flexible loading options for 120L and 240L bins. For high-volume sites, an auger system with electric bin lifter is available to streamline operation. |

Approvals Related to Use of Output
Important Note on Composting in NSW
In NSW, applying waste to land – including a processed waste such as compost - or using it as a fuel may trigger various regulatory requirements. Depending on the proposed use you may be required to comply with a Resource Recovery Exemption or need to hold an environment protection licence, and pay the waste levy.
While there is a Compost Exemption (2014) it is important to note that drying or dehydrating food waste, or any other compostable waste, is specifically excluded from consideration under this exemption. Drying or dehydrating equipment uses externally supplied energy to heat and ventilate food waste or any other compostable waste in order to rapidly dry the waste material over a short time period (typically 24 to 48 hours), either with or without the addition of an inoculum. If you are interested in this type of equipment you should refer to the resource recovery exemptions for information on lawful use of outputs.
If it is intended to use the material as a fuel, it must comply with the NSW Energy from Waste Policy Statement. http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/waste/140056enfromwasteps.htm
