Reduce Moisture. Accelerate Composting.
Breakthrough technology that expels up to 50% water from food waste. Halve your waste volume, eliminate odor, and triple composting speed for apartments and commercial sites.
Capacity: 50Kg/hr+
Industrial Grade Stainless Steel
Solved by ODU.
Composting high-moisture kitchen waste often results in leachate
(liquid runoff), foul smells, and maggots. These issues deter
commercial establishments and apartment complexes from
sustainable waste management.
Removes maggots, smell, and leachate by targeting the root cause:
excessive water content.
Dewatered waste enhances aerobic conditions, allowing fungal
inoculums to work significantly faster.
Precision engineering designed for the heavy organic waste profiles of India.
Extrudes up to half the

Your Questions Answered
How much moisture can an ODU remove?
Depending on the characteristics of the waste, an Organics Dewatering Unit can remove a significant portion of free moisture, upto 50% thereby improving compostability and reducing liquid handling requirements.
How does an ODU reduce leachate?
By extracting free water before composting begins, the ODU minimizes liquid drainage from compost piles, making the process cleaner and easier to manage.
Can an ODU eliminate compost odour?
Although no technology can completely eliminate odour under every condition, reducing excess moisture through dewatering substantially minimizes anaerobic decomposition and associated foul smells.
Can an ODU prevent maggot infestation?
Yes. Since maggots thrive in exposed, wet organic waste, reducing moisture and rapidly initiating aerobic composting significantly lowers the likelihood of infestation. Further high pressure inside the ODU also destroys any insect eggs already infested in the waste.
Does dewatering improve compost quality?
Yes. Improved moisture balance supports aerobic microorganisms, resulting in faster stabilization, reduced odour and higher-quality compost.
Can an ODU improve biogas production?
Yes. The separated liquid fraction is often well suited for anaerobic digestion, while the dewatered solids are efficiently composted, maximizing overall resource recovery.
Which sectors benefit most from an ODU?
Apartments, hotels, restaurants, food processing industries, institutions, hospitals and municipalities generating wet organic waste can benefit from dewatering technology.
Can an ODU be integrated into existing compost plants?
Yes. In many cases, an Organics Dewatering Unit can be retrofitted into existing composting facilities with minimal modifications, improving process efficiency.
What maintenance does an ODU require?
Routine cleaning, inspection of moving parts, lubrication where applicable and preventive maintenance help ensure reliable long-term operation.
Can an ODU reduce composting time?
Yes. By optimizing moisture content, microbial activity becomes more efficient, often shortening the composting cycle compared with untreated wet waste.
