Name | AZP 80 Food Waste Disposal |
Model | MEIKO AZP 80 |
Classification | Organics Processing |
Operations
Description or Purpose | The exemplary technology for food waste disposal in the catering industry with MEIKO AZP 80, simple operation and reliability also help you to get a handle on problems such as: odour even with short storage of waste or wet waste that is not accepted by the waste disposal contractor. AZP restaurant food waste treatment appliances convert problematic food waste to be disposed, into a bio-waste which can be easily handled and used as compost material. |
Operating Principles | The restaurant food waste is either fed via a flushing trough or directly into the grinding mechanism. This grinding mechanism consists of a rotating grinding disc with sieve ring, pump housing and motor. The grinded food waste is continuously directed to the de-watering press, where it is compacted and de-watered to a large extent. A volume reduction of up to 85 % is obtainable! The water used for the flow system is continuously re-circulated by means of a heavy duty pump. |
Additional Information | With this compact unit the grinding mechanism and de-watering press are installed separately, so that the grinding mechanism(s) are installed where the waste actually arises (f. ex. in the preparation zone or wash-up area), whereas the de-watering press is installed directly in the waste disposal room. Restaurant food waste is transported to the garbage room in a hygienic way via pipelines without intermediate storage. |

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
