FAQ for UF006 Series Electric Composter
1.Why don't the blades of the machine turn all the time?
This is completely normal. Through hundreds of thousands of tests, the laboratory has finally designed and determined the intelligent program of heating-grinding-holding-cooling. By programming separate or intersecting heating and grinding jobs at different stages of operation, we can save enormous amounts of electricity.
2.Should I add the extra purchased EM bacteria? At what stage should we add to it?
The composition of EM bacteria is some dormant beneficial microorganisms, which can help the
fermentation process to proceed faster. Since the kitchen and garden waste you compost itself contains many microorganisms when your added material achieves the perfect carbon-nitrogen ratio, EM bacteria can be omitted. However, since the daily garbage generated by each household is not fixed, we still recommend that you add EM bacteria before using the fermentation model which will greatly speeds up the efficiency and success of composting.
3.How can I know if the fertilizer is too dry or too wet?
This is the original intention of our design of UF006 Series Composter - a visual waste composter.
Due to the different types, weights and moisture content of kitchen waste generated by each household, it is difficult for us to set a consistent program to achieve everyone's expectations for the dry and wet state of fertilizers.
You can stop the machine at any time when you observe that the fertilizer has reached the desired chip and dry moisture.
4.How do I apply UF006 Series Composter's fertilizer to my garden plants?
We recommend that you mix fertilizer to the soil at a ratio of 1:10, then bury it under the plant, and water it appropriately.
5.Can UF006 Series Composter sit with unprocessed waste for a few days while I fill it? Will that smell?
We only recommend leaving it for a day, especially in hot weather, as it can grow bacteria and develop odors if left untreated. When the UF006 Series Composter is not running, the filter odor control is not activated, so you may smell it.
What can I put into the machine?
The general rule: all organic food waste can be composted in the machine.
What cannot be put into the machine?
Do not put anything into the machine that is not organic, including:
plastic
glass
metal
food containers and packaging
Also avoid
large bones
hard seafood shells (oyster, scollop and abalone).
cooking oil
Putting these items into the machine can potentially lead to machine damage and malfunction.
Can I put bones into the machine?
Small sized bones can be put into the machine.
(e.g. chicken bones, fish bones)
DO NOT put large animal bones such as pork, lamb or beef bones.
Can I put seafood shells into the machine?
Only soft seafood shells can be put into the machine such as shrimp, prawn, lobster and crab.
DO NOT put oysters, scollops or abalone shells.
How often can I put food waste into the machine?
Whenever is convenient for you! (so long as you do not exceed your machine’s total capacity per day). The composting process will be complete 24 hours after the last food waste input.2
We have three kinds of food waste processor machines as below:
food waste disposer
grind the food waste into fine particles less than 4mm, then flush with water into the household kitchen's drainpipes and drains away
food waste composting machine
needs to add enzyme to decompose the food waste, the by-products can be used as fertilizer to grow the plants
foodcycler
don't need enzyme and just dry the food waste, the by-products can be used as fertilizer to grow the plants
Usually, for sample order, we will ship by express like EMS, DHL, FedEx, UPS, special-line logistic; for bulk order, we will ship by sea or air to your destination sea port or airport.
