This looks like an oversized food processor. Where do the worms go?

I’m glad Patrick said that all I could think was that this was a worm bin with a grinder front end. This is just way over-complicating a simple process.

Are the worms are in the tumbler, being constantly tumbled? It seems to indicate so, but man, they would seriously disrupt the worms. I guess it may be turning only when grinding or on a timer.

This idea is already used (without worms) in Europe. Check out the link for this composter that can be used on a large scale.

Would the composting happen without the worms? It doesn’t appear that they have discovered anything new.

I have something like this at home home. It’s Called “Jack Lalanne’s Power Juicer” I feed all the pulp to the worms. They gobble it up in less than 14 days Bentley. It’s contains just the right amount of moisture. I freeze it first of course.

Also, Getting a little tired of people calling leechate “Worm Tea”.

What caught my eye is a processing cycle of less than a week! At that flow-through rate, a relatively small unit can process a huge amount of waste on site. Huntington Beach is looking for ways to make a serious dent in what goes into landfill. All California cities are but I live in HB and so feel their efforts more directly. Our downtown area has a lot of restaurants in a small area and a unit along the lines of W-FARM could serve the area very effectively. If W-FARM could reduce acceptable waste by 95% in under a week, that would be fantastic. I think the students and teachers at SVSU should be congratulated and encouraged. They would like some more “likes” on their facebook page. What say we Bentley-fans give them a boost??
