Organic waste and Food waste is a worldwide problem, is cost to be disposed and nothing is gained from it on the contrary, it causes the fission of harmful gas such as methane. Vegetable waste with high moisture content and readily biodegradable nature is causing major environmental problems due to improper waste management practices The Design and Fabrication of Compost Machine in India. So, composting could be considered the best alternative for the treatment of these organic fractions. Composting has proven to be a valid solution to this problem. The objectives of this project are to design a composting machine with certain parameters for the design, Process time, and easy, odourless and power saving. The designed food waste decomposition system is designed for rapid composting performance. It can be used for households, restaurants, hotels, schools, apartment buildings, communities, offices and cafeterias depending on the capacity of the machine. The system ploys high temperature to decompose food waste and organic matter. The prototype was able to decompose organic waste in a time frame of 38 to 50 hours with minimum harmful gases emissions and odours.
