Source Separated Organics

Depackaging machines to separate organic content from its packaging in processing organic food waste.

The complete turnkey line of Smicon food waste processing equipment can bulk feed, presort, depack and purify food waste slurry and press the remaining packaging for a minimum loss of organics in the waste stream. Food waste collection trucks can back up and dump directly into the inground mixing feed bunkers holding up to 50 cubic yards of post-industrial, supermarket, or restaurant waste, or any kind of source separated organics.

Types of food waste accepted by Smicon:

SMIMO120-drink cartons-cans
Beverage cartons and cans
SMICON-cans dogfood
Canned foods
SMICON 120-supermarket waste
Mixed supermarket waste
Packaged produce

SMICON restaurant waste
Restaurant waste
Smicon food waste recycling
Bulk produce

Specialized robust depackaging machines accept materials ranging from frozen foods, canned foods, vacuum packed meats and fish to bulk packaged breads, chips, snacks to chewy candy bars and bakery products. The gentle depacking process aims to keep packaging intact to produce clean food waste with a limited amount of contamination.

Long rotating screens with full circumference screening holes and various screen sizes allow for a variety of output streams without the need to add water. Packaged foods enter the machine, and two streams come out – clean, organic matter free of any packaging scraps; and empty, recyclable packaging free of organic matter.

Smicon’s experience in a variety of industries, combined with excellent workmanship in full stainless steel assures a long reliable lifecycle to process the most challenging feedstocks.
