This document describes a food waste management system that provides several benefits over conventional systems. It can process all types of food waste with reduced collection frequency and costs. The system uses a hermetically sealed stainless steel tank, built-in macerator, and PLC control panel to efficiently handle food waste with no odors, pests, or drain connections. It is a sustainable solution that prepares food waste optimally for producing biogas at anaerobic digestion facilities.
