To reduce the impact of organic waste on the environment.
Our team testing procedure and customer experience are
Create a number of benefits for households to eliminate all
obstacles and concerns about food waste on a daily basis.
The Bachelors,
Coming back to the U-Invent/Food tech innovation contest
conducted by the VN-UK Research and Training Institute
to represent the project of: “A system for processing
organic waste into organic fertilizer on a compact scale
of each family”, based on the Japanese Bokashi
composting principle.
Nowadays, organic waste can be recycled into organic
fertilizer in a variety of ways, including:
 Compost pits
 Vermicomposting
 Black soldier fly
 Biogas cellar
Among that, Bokashi is the most popular approach today,
because:
 Handling all types of organic waste
 Compact, quick incubation period, and no odor
 Low operation cost
outlined below:
Materials and equipment for testing:
 Waste foods
 Probiotics
 The blender
 The juicer
Testing steps:
 Grind and mix waste food with probiotics
 Primary incubation of 24 hours
 Separation and pressing the products
 Solid parts and organic fertilizer liquid
Testing outcome:
 During the incubation process, there is no unpleasant
odor.
 Due to the grinding and separation of the product, the
incubation period is cut in half.
 After 5 days, the product can be stored in different
containers without causing any un-pleasure odors.
 Since the product has been separated into two
components: solid part and liquid, it is very simple to
use.
To get a realistic experience with customers, the team had
given organic fertilizer solid components and organic
fertilizer liquid to families in residential regions to utilize.
Customers appear to be quite pleased with this practical
product; according to the feedback. Many of them have
also expressed their interest in a system that could utilize
organic waste into organic fertilizer at home, similar to the
one that our team is working on it.
With the positive outcomes that our group has
implemented and acquired. The team has chosen to
develop a device based on the Bokashi composting
principle that could turn organic waste into organic
fertilizer with extra functions such as grinding, mixing, and
product separation. Those are the elements that the
traditional organic Bokashi method and other devices on
the market are missing, which shorten the composting
process period and make it more convenient for customers
to use it.
I. Structure and operating principle
A. Structure in detail.
 Feeding hopper: The input material can be
contained in a volume of 2 liters.
 The blender: Combine the ingredients in a blender
and add probiotics.
 Probiotics container and nozzle: To receive signal,
connect the control panel and spray probiotics into the
feeding hopper according to the pre-set ratio.
 Bio-filter chamber: It is a pollution control technique
using a bioreactor containing a living material to capture
and biologically degrade the pollution.
 Preliminary compost bin: Stores and incubates the
ingredients that have been ground and mixed with
probiotics.
 Pressing chamber: To separate raw materials into 2
components.
 Deep composting container (solid part): Store and
thoroughly incubate the solid part after being separated.
 Deep composting container (liquid part): Stores and
incubates the liquid that has been distinct from the raw
materials.
 Control panel: Display warning lights, receive and
activate the signal for the device to operate following the
established requirements.
Therefore, according to machine calculations for a family
of four, the device total necessary volume is:
 The feeding hopper: 2 liters
 Preliminary compost bin: 2 liters
 Deep composting container (solid and liquid): 10
liters
 The volume of design space: 5 liters
This model requires a volume of approximately 20 liters.
Addressing the necessity of handling 2kg of organic waste
daily for every household.
B. Operating principle.
1) The user adds daily organic waste into the feeding
hopper.
2) Injecting the probiotic and grinding the ingredients
3) Incubates and softens the material, capture and
biologically degrade the pollution.
4) Squeezes and separates the ingredient into 2
components
5) Stores and deeply incubates the solid part
6) Stores and deeply incubates the liquid in the new
liquid section, pushing the old liquid into the old
liquid section, and ready to be used.
II. The difference between our machine and the existing
ones
 Compact scale
 Fully automatic and simultaneous operation
 Separation of solid part and liquid
 Low machine cost (Estimated around
3.000.000VND/machine)
 Low operation cost (Estimated approximately
1.000VND/kg of organic waste)
III. The efficiency of our machine
 Organic waste is sorted and recycled at the source
 Affordable for all households
 The final product is separated into 2 components, solid
part and liquid, making them very easy to use and store
 Reducing the amount of waste that pollutes soil, water,
and air…
IV. Plan and timeline for machine development
 Step 1: Make detail drawings
 Step 2: Manufacturing mechanical parts and outer shell
 Step 3: Design and manufacture the control panel
 Step 4: Assemble and test the product, correcting any
flaws is necessary
 Step 5: Market the product
