Chapter 1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing Mechline’s food waste bio-digester. When correctly installed, commissioned and operated in
accordance with this Operator Manual, the bio-digester will provide many years of service.
Best practice dictates the removal of food waste quickly and completely from commercial kitchens, eliminating unpleasant
odours and spillages and the risk of contaminating fresh or uncooked food. The machine facilitates the efcient, on-site,
safe and hygienic removal of food preparation waste, plate scrapings, out-of-date produce and unwanted soft, organic
food waste – both raw and cooked.
The machine rapidly digests soft food waste and converts it into waste water which runs away to drain - simply throw in the
food and walk away. The process is called aerobic digestion, and a naturally occurring blend of microorganisms help with
this process.
In this document, important operating, maintenance and safety advice is provided to get the most out of Mechline’s food
waste bio-digester. Please read all the information provided and keep this document in a safe and easily accessible place.

services connected:
4.3.1 Power supply
4.3.1.1 The appliance must be electrically installed in accordance with the local regional electrical codes by a
qualied engineer.
4.3.1. 2 The appliance must be protected by Branch Circuit Protection rated 10 Amps.
4.3.1.3 The appliance must be grounded.
4.3.1.4 UK/EU power connection: 10-amp, 1 ph. Supplied with 1.5m cable and moulded 3-pin plug.
US power connection: 10-amp, 1 ph. Supplied with a terminal box for eld wiring.
4.3.1.5
The mains socket should be installed in an accessible area close to the equipment to enable disconnection.
4.3.2 Water supply
4.3. 2.1 Continuous (24-hour) dedicated warm-water supply at 50°C (122°F)
between 2-5 bar (200,000-500,000 pascals or 30-70 PSI) pressure.
Maximum water hardness of 70mg/L.
NOTE: DO NOT CONNECT THE APPLIANCE TO A COLD-WATER SUPPLY OR TO A SUPPLY THAT
COULD RUN COLD OVERNIGHT OR AT WEEKENDS OR AT ANY OTHER TIME. If necessary, install
a localised dedicated water boiler/heater specically to continuously feed the appliance. A minimum
3-kW water boiler/heater with a minimum 50-litre (13.5 US gallons) storage capacity is required.
4.3.2.2 Install the localised water boiler/heater as close to the inlet point of the appliance as possible. Do not
connect other appliances or ttings to the hot or warm-water supply to avoid the possibility of them
drawing off the hot water.
4.3.2.3 The use of a thermostatically-controlled mixer valve to provide a controlled blended supply is
recommended. An appropriate mixing valve can be supplied at additional cost if required. Cont’d...

Food Waste Bio-Digester
operator manual
REVISION: 09/2014 | page 10 of 16
NOTE: The machine uses approximately 600 litres (158.5 US gallons) water per 24 hours, and 2.6 litres
(0.7 US gallons) in a 30-second period when the spray jets are running, with a 7-minute recovery time. A
2-bar (200,000 pascals or 30 PSI) minimum pressure is required, 5-bar (500,000 pascals or 70 PSI) maximum.
4.3.2.4 Install a local isolation valve. Insulation of the pipe work between the water boiler/heater and the
appliance is recommended to minimise heat loss. Flush pipework clean before connecting to appliance.
4.3.2.5 Ensure there is no danger of the water temperature setting being altered by unauthorised users. Do not
reuse old water ttings or hoses.
4.3.3 Drain connections
4.3.3.1 Ensure 42mm (11/2-inch) drain connection. Do not reduce.
4.3.3.2 Drain lines should be cleaned before appliance connection. Drain is pump assisted, but will not run uphill.
Run an independent drain line. Do not tee in with any other ttings or appliances.
4.3.3.3 A maximum distance of 3 metres (10 ft) to the main soil connection is recommended with a gradient
between 2-9%.
4.3.3.4 Only use swept drain ttings with a maximum of 4 ttings between the machine and the soil & vent or
oor drain. If the appliance is to be discharged to an open drain, we recommend that the drain is located
outdoors to minimise odours. Ensure connection is to foul water drain (main sewer).
4.3.3.5 Do not use compression or short (non-swept) waste ttings as the joints could fail and cause a ood.
4.3.3.6 Do not t a trap – appliance is trapped internally.
4.3.3.7 Only discharge to the site’s foul water drain (main sewer).
4.3.3.8 Do not mount any pipework or other equipment to the machine in such a way that it impedes access to
the
service panels and will preclude servicing the machine.

4.4 COMMISSIONING
Commissioning is a service included in the purchase price of the appliance, unless otherwise stated. It checks that the
appliance is correctly installed and ready for use (as per Section 4.3 Connecting to the Services). Commissioning is NOT
part of the installation and will only be undertaken by an authorised Mechline representative or engineer. Commissioning is
done after installation and is carried out when the appliance is ready to be put into operation.
NOTE: Have a minimum of 5 Kg (11lbs) of food waste ready. You must not commission the appliance without
having food waste ready.
ONCE THE APPLIANCE HAS BEEN COMMISSIONED, IT MUST BE LEFT RUNNING AND MUST BE REGULARLY FED
FOOD WASTE. DO NOT COMMISSION THE APPLIANCE UNTIL IT IS READY TO BE USED REGULARLY.
4.5 START-UP
4.5.1 Open the appliance lid and check that nothing has been left inside the chamber other than the poly-chips.
4.5.2 Firmly close the appliance lid.
4.5.3 Turn ON the warm water supply and if a localised water boiler/heater has been installed, ensure it is switched ON
and is fully up to temperature. Draw off any cold water in the supply line.
4.5.4 Turn ON the power supply. Ensure that the rotary isolator on the front of the appliance is turned to the ON
position. Ensure that the emergency stop button on the front of the appliance is pulled out (i.e. not depressed).
Press the green ‘RESTART’ button on the appliance’s control panel.
4.5.5 The appliance will start in ‘warm up’ mode and the ‘WAIT’ & ‘RUNNING’ lights will illuminate on the control panel.
Please allow 20 minutes for the machine to complete the ‘warm up’ cycle. See Section 5.3.2.
4.5.6 After 20 minutes have elapsed, open the left-hand door and check the temperature reading on the LED screen.
The reading should be approximately 50°C (122ºF).
NOTE: This reading will uctuate and rise as water is drawn into the appliance, and 50°C (122ºF) (+/- 3°C or
+/- 5.4ºF) should be the high reading. If necessary, adjust the incoming water temperature.
4.5.7 After 20 minutes the ‘WAIT’ light will extinguish and the appliance will switch to its normal operating condition
ready to receive food waste.
4.5.8 Add the food waste and the water-soluble block of microorganisms. Firmly close the appliance lid.
Once Commissioning and Start-Up have occurred, the appliance is now operational. The individual in charge of this
appliance must keep this manual and keys in a safe place and accessible to all operators. It is the site’s responsibility to
ensure adequate training and instruction have been provided to all associated personnel involved in the operation of the
appliance. If you are unsure about any part of this operation, contact Mechline ser[email protected] or your dealer.

Chapter 5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5.1 GENERAL ADVICE
The following advice is a general
guideline for the operator of the appliance. If any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact Mechline ser[email protected] or your dealer.
5.1.1 Be sure the appliance is left on once it is commissioned. There is no on/off switch to operate.
5.1.2 Ensure the food waste is the right kind of food waste to throw into the appliance.
5.1.3 Do not exceed the recommended amount of food waste at any one time.
5.1.4 Allow the appliance sufcient time to digest before introducing more food waste.
5.2 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
5. 2.1 How do I put food waste into the appliance?
Simply open the appliance lid and pour the food waste through the hatch onto the poly-chips inside, then close the lid.
5.2.2 How much organic food waste can I put in the appliance?
Operators should aim to add 1x 20-litre bucket (approx. 22.5 Kg or 50lbs) of food waste every 3 hours to achieve
maximum performance. Much like the human digestive system, the appliance gradually processes the food.
Trying to put too much food waste into the appliance at one time will overload the appliance, slow the digestion process
and could damage the appliance. The appliance can process a maximum of 180 Kg (400lbs) of organic food waste
over a 24-hr period but this MUST be staged over the course of 24 hours. If your operation does not run for 24 hours,
you will be able to process proportionately less food waste. Any issues related to overloading could be construed as
misuse and void the warranty. Mechline can prepare a loading guide based on your operating hours. Please contact
Mechline [e-mail] or your dealer if you would like one sent to you.
5.2.3 What can I put in the appliance?
The appliance will take soft, organic food waste such as fruit, vegetables, cooked and uncooked meat, sh and so on.
For advice on what can be processed by the appliance, please refer to Table 1. The general rule is that if a human can
eat the food, the machine will process the food. The appliance and the microorganisms are designed to process a wide
range of food waste types in mixed quantities.
5.2.4 What can’t I put in the appliance?
The appliance cannot process anything that is not organic food waste and cannot be easily broken down such as
bones, seeds and stones, ower stems, packaging, general waste, cutlery, crockery, cocktail sticks, etc. For a
suggested list of what can be processed by the appliance, please refer to Table 1. The general rule is that if a human
cannot eat the product, then the machine cannot process the product. This is important because placing the wrong
products into the appliance could cause damage and could void the warranty.
5.2.5 What if there is a period of the day when a significant amount of food waste is produced?
This is very common and is easily overcome by scheduling the loads of food waste put into the appliance. Food waste
in excess of what the appliance can process at any one time should be stored ready to be put into the appliance later,
once the appliance has had a chance to process what it already holds.
Consider using clear sealable buckets for storing
waste to be loaded later. Buckets are available at an additional cost, if required.
TABLE 1 WHAT GOES IN: Soft organic material such as
•Meats (cooked or uncooked)
•Fish
•Vegetables
•Pasta, noodles, bread crumbs, rice
•Fruit
•Dairy products (milk, cheese, eggs, etc.)
WHAT STAYS OUT:
•Meat and sh bones
•Raw dough, ours, yeast
•Pineapple tops & other hard brous foods
•Corn husks, ower stems
•Egg shells in large quantities
•Fruit & vegetable seeds and stones such as mango, avocado, peach etc.
•Oil, fats, soups, large quantities of butter or lard
•Frozen or chilled food (wait until food is room temperature)
•Packaging, cocktail sticks and other inorganic material
NOTE: The appliance and the microorganisms are designed to process a wide range of food waste types in mixed quantities.
If your operation disposes of a large quantity of one type of food waste, contact Mechline ser[email protected] or your
dealer for advice before operating the appliance.

REVISION: 09/2014 | page 13 of 16
Food Waste Bio-Digester
5.2.6 Is there anything else I need to do to keep the appliance running?
Yes. You must ensure that there is always a box of bio-uid (microorganisms) in the appliance and that the box is
properly connected. This is essential because every time the appliance hatch is opened, a tiny amount of the
microorganism is sprayed onto the food waste. If the microorganisms are not regularly topped up in this way, they will
eventually die out and the appliance will not be able to function. Annually, a ‘booster block’ of microorganisms is also
required to maintain a healthy level of microorganisms in the chamber.
5.2.7 When does the bio-fluid need replacing?
The blue ‘REPLACE FLUID’ light on the control panel will illuminate and a buzzer alarm will sound. See Section 5.3.3.
Follow the replacement instructions on the uid box. For more uid, contact Mechline or your dealer. Always keep a
spare box of uid in stock to avoid running out.
5.2.8 How will I know the appliance is overloaded or jammed?
If the appliance senses that too much food waste is added at one time and/or the rotor is jammed, the appliance will
move into ‘Service’ mode. The red ‘SERVICE - OVERLOADED’ button will illuminate and a buzzer alarm will sound. The
excess food waste or blockage will have to be removed in order to restart the machine. See Section 5.3.6.
5.2.9 Is it safe to remove excess food waste, non-organic items or free a jam or blockage inside the machine
by hand?
Yes, but disconnect the appliance from the power source rst and ensure that rubber gloves are worn before retrieving
anything from inside the appliance. When nished, close the lid and turn on the power to restart the machine.
Follow re-start proceedure advice in Section 5.2.15.
5. 2.10 Why are there poly-chips in the appliance?
The poly-chips become impregnated with the specially blended microorganisms that break up the food waste. They
must stay in the machine to host the microorganisms
and only need topping up if some are lost through any repairs over
the course of its service life.
5. 2.11 Can I put refrigerated or frozen food waste into the appliance?
No. Please allow for the food waste to come to room temperature before adding. If very cold food waste is added it will
change the conditions in the chamber and could kill the microorganisms that break up the food waste.
TEMPERATURE IS IMPORTANT. In order to maximise the performance of the appliance, the chamber temperature must
be maintained at between approximately 40°C and 45°C (104°F and 113°F).
• Do not place large quantities of chilled or frozen food in the chamber.
• Do not store food waste outdoors in winter months.
5. 2.12 Is there any sludge or by-product to manage?
No. All of the organic food waste will be digested and will run away to drain as waste water. The only items that will need
removing from the appliance from time to time are non-digestible items that may accidentally fall into the appliance.
5. 2.13 Why is a continuous, 24-hour supply of warm water important?
The microorganisms require a warm, moist environment to survive and perform at maximum efciency. Failure to ensure
the appliance has a continuous, warm-water (50°C/122°F) supply could void the warranty. If a dedicated boiler/heater is
installed, it must be
a minimum 3-kW water boiler/heater with a 50-litre (13.5 US gallons) storage capacity. Install the
localised water boiler/heater as close to the
inlet point of the appliance as possible. Do not connect other appliances or
ttings to the hot or warm water supply to avoid the possibility of them drawing off the hot water. The use of a
thermostatically-controlled mixer valve to provide a
controlled blended supply is recommended. Mixing-valves can be
supplied at additional cost, if required. Contact your dealer for more information.
5. 2.14 What if small puddles of water sometimes appear under the appliance?
If the appliance is installed in an area where the temperature and relative humidity can uctuate, condensation may
form on the appliance’s inner panels which can result in puddles on the oor under the appliance. This will not damage
the appliance and does not require a service call.
5. 2.15 What if there is a power cut, or someone turns off the power to the appliance or someone presses the
emergency knock-off (STOP) button?
The machine will not automatically restart. Once the power is restored, follow the procedure:
5. 2.15.1 Turn the isolator on the front of the appliance to the ‘ON’ position.
5.2.15.2 Ensure the emergency knock-off (STOP) button is pulled out.
5.2.15.3 Press the green ‘RESTART’ button on the control panel to restart the machine.
NOTE: The yellow ‘WAIT’ light will illuminate for 20 minutes while the appliance warms up. After 20 minutes
the appliance can be used in the normal way.
5. 2.16 What if the appliance is left unused for a long period of time?
It is important to have a constant supply of food waste. If the appliance is not used (lid is not opened) for 1 month,
the microorganisms inside the appliance chamber will die and any newly introduced food waste will not be properly
digested. In this situation a ‘BOOSTER BLOCK’ of microorganisms must be added to the appliance chamber before the
appliance is used. ‘Booster blocks’ can be purchased from your dealer, reference: W20.BOOST. A ‘booster block’ also
needs to be added every year to help boost the general microorganism population.
5. 2.17 What does it mean when the green light flashes?
The green light ashes when the machine lid has not been opened in 6 hours or more. This indicates the machine is in
‘energy-saving’ mode. See Section 5.3.4.
