The grinding bucket can contain up to 2L of food scraps that would be reduced to 0.34L Eco Chips. Foodscraps go from landfill to handfull in just a few hours. 3-stage Food Cycler system Using an automatic 3-stage cycle, the Food Cycler dehydrates, grinds & cools down your food waste while filtering odours & methane gasses. During the ' Drying' stage, your household food scraps are dehydrated & moistures removed. Then, during the ' Grinding' stage the blades pulverise your food waste into small particles. The ' Cooling' stage cools the resulting waste, the Eco Chips. Odourless process & storage The two replaceable carbon Eco Filters direct & filter air flow during the process, making for a clean & odourless cycle. Prior to cycling & when food waste is stored in the bucket, the lid with integrated carbon filter helps reducing ambient odours. Compact design for indoor use Conceived for the modern home & lifestyle, the Food Cycler is designed for indoor use & can be placed or stored in any location. It can easily fit in any accessible spot in your kitchen, laundry or garage, while you can keep the removable bucket with integrated carbon filter lid to manage odours on your benchtop or under the sink. Quiet & low energy usage The sophisticated sensor technology defines each individual cycle by monitoring the dryness & humidity of the food waste, allowing minimal energy usage with maximum efficiency. The Food Cycler uses an average of 1KW per cycle. On top of that, the Twist & Lock lid prevents noise (but also odours) during the process. As a result & while in operation, the Food Cycler makes less noise than a dishwasher. Easy to use one-touch operation Load the bucket, lock the lid & press start. That's as hard as it gets. The one-touch operation start button makes it easy to use & the LED lights indicate the different cycles in progress. If you find that you have more waste to add to your cycle while the unit is running, you can also use the ' Pause' feature (only during the Drying phase). .
