Abstract

Daily Metropolitan cities cause more and more waste and this is overloading our municipal systems, systematic management of waste is big problem. The ongoing techniques of composting are tedious, dangerous for the environment due to release of gases like Methane and Carbon Dioxide, promotes death-trap for residents, 100% of wet waste is not contemplated. Insufficient aeration of wet waste leads to formation of harmful acetic acid, Transportation of wet waste require heavy duty automobile which consume considerable amount of fossil fuels. It is understandable that as we accelerate into the future, new procedure for befitting wet waste disposal is desired. This procedure should be environment friendly at root levels and should be planned considering the future needs. The aim is to overcome the previous existing composting difficulties and to design a composting machine with certain parameters such as process time, easy to use, compact, odourless, use of automation, rapid composting and power economy So, we are preparing a model which will eliminate all the current issues. This waste food recycling machine includes an elongate, vertical housing divided into three stages. In the first stage, waste food is heated and moisture gets removed. After heating, the waste food proceeds into the second stage where the waste food is cut into smaller portions and dried. In the tertiary stage, the dried waste food is cooled and assorted.
