Chapter 1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing Mechline’s food waste bio-digester. When correctly installed, commissioned and operated in
accordance with this Operator Manual, the bio-digester will provide many years of service.
Best practice dictates the removal of food waste quickly and completely from commercial kitchens, eliminating unpleasant
odours and spillages and the risk of contaminating fresh or uncooked food. The machine facilitates the efficient, on-site,
safe and hygienic removal of food preparation waste, plate scrapings, out-of-date produce and unwanted soft, organic
food waste – both raw and cooked.
The machine rapidly digests soft food waste and converts it into waste water which runs away to drain - simply throw in the
food and walk away. The process is called aerobic digestion, and a naturally occurring blend of microorganisms help with
this process.
In this document, important operating, maintenance and safety advice is provided to get the most out of Mechline’s food
waste bio-digester. Please read all the information provided and keep this document in a safe and easily accessible place.
