Somat Introduces eCorect Waste Reducer
LANCASTER, Penn. (April 15, 2008) - Somat continues to refine food waste disposal technology with the introduction of eCorect, a high-speed food waste recycling machine. Available for the first time in the United States, Somat's eCorect is a revolutionary and environmentally-friendly waste decomposing machine.
The eCorect machine rapidly dehydrates food waste along with compostable disposables, producing a humus-rich soil amendment without the use of enzymes, fresh water or venting and with no other byproducts, resulting in zero sewer and landfill impact.
"Average Americans throw away 475 pounds of food waste every year, according to a recent study," said Lin Sensenig, Somat Company general manager. "The economic cost to dispose of food waste and food scraps will continue to increase. The eCorect machine reduces the cost of trash removal by reducing the weight and volume of the trash, thus reducing operating costs for our customers."
The eCorect machine reduces the weight and volume of food waste and scraps by 80 to 90 percent and recycles those food wastes into a high-quality organic soil amendment in less than 24 hours. Featuring an integrated revolutionary odor management system and high-efficiency heat recovery system, the eCorect can be fed any type of food waste and has zero landfill impact.
"This product finally closes the 'waste handling' circle - food to waste, and waste to food," Sensenig said. "The apple core that you throw away will eventually become a soil amendment that may be used to grow an apple tree one day!"
Easy to install, operate and maintain, the eCorect does not require plumbing connections or ventilation. The machine also requires low energy consumption.
"With the launch of this new machine, Somat is helping restaurants, hospitals, correctional facilities, colleges and universities, and other commercial food-based operations and public institutions eliminate trash-related odors, reduce costs, and protect the environment," Sensenig said.
Somat Company, part of the ITW Food Equipment Group which was recently named the 2008 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year, is a long-standing industry leader in the development and manufacturing of highly engineered waste equipment. Somat Company introduced the waste pulping concept to the food service industry in the 1950s and has been the industry leader in that niche market ever since. Based in Lancaster County, Penn., Somat Company is recognized worldwide for its waste reduction technology.
