Question questions, head to pela.earth/lomifaq
What mix of waste and bioplastics is best for the machine? Can I do a load with just
bioplastics?
Based on testing, 10% maximum bioplastic in relation to food waste/organic waste is
optimal. Do not try to go over this. Putting in only bioplastics is not recommended, it needs
to be mixed with organic waste.
Can I run a half load? How full is the minimum and maximum?
You can run a load as small as you want, however, there is a line on the bucket indicating
the maximum capacity. Lomi will run with low content capacity, however, the cycle may
complete faster. DO NOT RUN EMPTY!
If I open the lid or Lomi stops or is unplugged in the middle of running, is it hot? What
do I do to start it up again?
Bucket and contents will be hot CAUTION DO NOT TOUCH! There may be some steam so
STAND BACK. To restart, close the lid and press start, it starts the whole cycle again but will
still process the waste. The cycle might take a shorter time with half processed waste.
What do LomiPods™ really do?
The additives are a proprietary blend of probiotics that improve the speed of degradation,
the reduction of smell, and most importantly help create the most healthy end product to
add to your gardens/lawn/planters.
Can Lomi sit with unprocessed waste for a few days while I fill it?
Will that smell?
A few days are okay. Filter odor control is not active while Lomi is not running, so you might
smell it. We recommend running a smaller cycle if you can so that you are not leaving waste
in there for too long.
