Liquid Food Biodigester
Powerknot
Key Features
The solution checked and verified on delivery and sustainability standards by Sustainability Kiosk experts
The LFC biodigester by powerknot is a fully enclosed automatic food waste digester that disposes most food waste within 24 hours. The LFC biodigester is a practical alternative to the traditional disposal of waste food. Anything you can eat, including fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, bread, rice, and noodles can go into the LFC biodigester. The food decomposition machine can digest both raw and cooked foods.
- Greatly reduces costs to dispose of waste food
- Payback is typically 6 to 24 months
- Reduces size, quantity, and smells of trash bins
- Weigh and dispose of food waste in one machine
- Eliminates flies and rodents that may be attracted to garbage bins containing waste food
- Saves time and injuries of employees carrying trash outdoors
- Food waste does not go to landfill where it creates methane
- Key element in helping a facility achieve zero waste goals
- Easily report CO2 equivalent diverted from landfill
- Significantly reduces carbon footprint of business
- With over 8 models to choose from, with an average daily digestion capacity ranging from 25, 50, 70, 100, 200, 300, 500 and 1000 kgs capacity per day
- Recycles batteries, glass, plastic and waste
- Waste Recycling
The Process
- This fully enclosed automatic machine disposes of most of the food matter within 24 hours.
- Once installed, you can add food waste at any time (Continuous process), and only decomposed food is discharged into the wastewater.
- The decomposition inside the LFC biodigester is an aerobic process (in the presence of oxygen)
- Hot water is injected into the LFC biodigester to maintain equilibrium for the microorganisms, digest the organic material rapidly, and flush decomposed material out of the machine. A rotating arm slowly churns the waste food to constantly mix the old food, new food, oxygen, and microorganisms to enhance the decomposing function.

Sustainablity Story
18% of food bought by the hospitality and foodservice industry is wasted annually. The food waste degrades into methane, CH4. CH4 is 25 times worse for the environment than CO2. Treating food waste onsite benefits the environment and saves money on landfill costs.

Raw Materials
Stainless Steel is used inside and outside the PowerKnot Liquid Food composter machine. Inputs are hot water, electricity (which can be powered by Solar), pallets, and the output is grey water. It runs continuously to avoid the accumulation of waste.
Manufacture
Manufactured in California, USA, PowerKnot sells and supports its products worldwide. The LFC biodigester is fully certified and is available with different supply voltages, making it a practical global solution to save landfill costs. This product is manufactured by following industry best practices and all legislative mandatories.
Transport & Delivery
This product is shipped using wooden pallets and by air or ship using regular shipping routes.
Disposal, Reuse & Recycle
The machine is optimised to be repairable where possible, and if required, the seller can supply details of qualified maintenance and repair services. This product is certified as easy and safe to dispose of via regularly available third parties-providers, or the supplier can support the disposal.
Impact Reporting
- Reduces Carbon footprint as you are not dumping food waste into the landfill.
- Cloud Monitoring and Reporting of waste generated by the hour, day, week, month, and year and create reports for stakeholders.
- Installing a solar plant will support energy savings
- We also recommend connecting the wastewater to the STP (Sewage Treatment Plant) to treat it on site, and the Nutrient-rich wastewater can be fed to plants creating value from food waste.
- You also need to be mindful that hot water and enzymes are required to operate the machine
