Elkuch Waste Solutions – BIO WASTE COLLECTION SYSTEM 1. Introduction The Elkuch Waste Solutions collection system for bio waste was designed to dispose the recyclable organic waste as well as the grease from our waste water treatment system (LIPOO) efficiently. The collection system fulfils the latest legal prescriptions for the field of waste management for organic materials in commercial kitchens. It can operate without being connected to a wastewater disposal system in accordance with DIN 1986 Part 1. The system works as a compact unit and disposes the different fractions (organic...

Elkuch Waste Solutions - BIO WASTE COLLECTION SYSTEM 3. Example design criteria and plant components Planning and dimensioning of the system are carried out according to customer specifications and are to be calculated and checked by the technical planner. Our proposal for the design of the system is generally non-binding. Central unit with main storage tank The tank that serves to store the wet garbage until the next emptying round is designed as a vacuum vessel and corresponding built. All feedthroughs at the tank are absolutely leak-free. The shut-off valves have pneumatic drives. The...

Elkuch Waste Solutions - BIO WASTE COLLECTION SYSTEM Tank volume: Macerator The wet-waste is comminuted (in each case at night) with the aid of the macerator and the delivery pump downstream of the latter. This process is carried out automatically at preset intervals. Factors for the starting of a maceration process are the level of waste in the main storage container, which is measured continuously, and the current time of day. The macerator reduces the organic waste to small pieces, size approximately 10 mm x 10 mm or less. The vacuum pump generates the necessary underpressure for...

Elkuch Waste Solutions - BIO WASTE COLLECTION SYSTEM Control cabinet The control cabinet contains the complete control unit whereby the latter provides fully automatic, semi-automatic and manual operation modes. In addition the cabinet contains all the relays, load losses, contactors, I/O boards etc. The amount of waste in the main storage container is sensed continuously and can be called up on the display and operating panel. The capacity of the main storage container still available at any time is shown on the suction station display as the number of 50 liter wheeled bins for which there...

The food scraps are fed to the docking station in 50-litre roll containers. The lever lock couples the roll container with the suction device. The suction process is started. The docking station can optionally be equipped with an automatic cleaning system. The process is carried out manually or fully automatically and includes the complete emptying and internal...

Elkuch Waste Solutions - BIO WASTE COLLECTION SYSTEM Disposal - station to land For the disposal of the main storage tank to the tank wagon on land. The disposal tank wagon will be connected with a flexible tube NW 100 to the docking station. The activating for the disposal to the land wagon will be done at the docking station on deck. The activating for the disposal to sea will be done in the waste disposal plant room. During this procedure no waste can be disposed from the food waste feeding station to the main storage tank. The suction of the flotation is also disabled. Pipes Transport...
