Who should evaluate the 100 kg class
Hotels, institutions, campuses, offices with large canteens and similar sites often evaluate this capacity, but two properties of the same type can generate very different waste. Use weighed bins rather than room count, covers, beds or employee count as the primary sizing input.
Use a three-number test
Record (1) ordinary-day load, (2) recurring peak-day load and (3) the number of days per month those peaks occur. This produces a more useful decision than a single average.
Check infrastructure before procurement
Published connected load is a planning input, not a complete electrical design. Confirm phase, cable, protection, earthing and point location with the supplied machine details and a competent electrician. Also confirm the movement path from waste collection to loading point.
Do not ignore curing logistics
A 100 kg machine can process a significant daily stream. The site must also be able to receive, handle and cure the discharged material without blocking the operator’s working area.
When to compare the 200 kg class
If representative normal or peak loads routinely exceed 100 kg/day, compare the next published capacity rather than making overloading part of the operating procedure.
Treat 100 kg/day as a rating, not a target to exceed
A 100 kg/day machine is easiest to operate when the site understands what will actually enter it. Separate kitchen organics from packaging and other waste streams, record recurring peak days, and agree how abnormal loads will be handled. If routine measured waste repeatedly sits at or above the nominal rating, compare the next published capacity rather than normalising overload.
- Measure the feed that will actually be loaded.
- Do not hide banquet or event peaks inside a monthly average.
- Confirm published connected load and footprint.
- Document the curing and backup route before commissioning.
The correct question is “What load pattern will this machine see?” not only “Is it called a 100 kg machine?”
