Description
Changing Waste Forever
The Liquid Compost Digester (LCD) was born from the idea of coming full circle in the growth cycle, from seed back to earth.
Innovating For the Future
Our cutting-edge Liquid Food Composter (LFC) has been used for close to a decade to eradicate food waste. Our natural desire to evolve, coupled with the explosion of the growing industry, led to the creation of the Liquid Compost Digester (LCD) and the results have been extraordinary. It has been a real adventure to modify, test, and implement the LCD. We regularly hear the phrase "this is a game-changer for the industry" and it couldn't be more accurate.
The LCD is here to change how this industry deals with green waste. Constructed from all stainless steel with a mirror finish, the LCD biodigesters are built to last with the lifespan of each machine expected to be 15 to 25 years.
The LCD by Powerknot comes in 7 different sizes with different voltage options on the smaller models.
Available sizes:
- LCD-50 - 50 lbs. of waste per day (Available in 120 volt or 208 Volt)
- LCD-70 - 70 lbs. of waste per day (Available in 120 volt or 208 Volt)
- LCD-100 - 100 lbs. of waste per day (Available in 120 volt or 208 Volt)
- LCD-200 - 200 lbs. of waste per day - 208 Volt (example picture shown here)
- LCD-300 - 300 lbs. of waste per day - 208 Volt
- LCD-500 - 500 lbs. of waste per day - 208 Volt
- LCD-1000 - 1000 lbs. of waste per day - 208 Volt
All models have a 6 ft. power cord except for the LCD-1000 which has a 10 ft. power cord.
Features & Benefits of the LCD Biodigester
Maintenance
The LCD is designed to be as maintenance free as possible. Basic maintenance could not be easier and is very minimal. Yearly check-ups are recommended and we have a vast network of service staff worldwide to support the LCD.
Support
We offer 24/7 support through our cloud software which monitors almost every aspect of the LCD. Temperatures, amp readings, warnings, and the overall weight of the machine can be viewed from your desktop or mobile phone. Automated alerts can be sent to either your phone, or email should there be any issues with the LCD, or if you just simply want to log on to see how much waste has been digested that day.
Installation
The LCD can be installed, commissioned and your staff fully trained in most cases in one day.
Powerchips & Powerzyme
Each LCD machine includes a base set pf Powerchips and Powerzyme. Powerchips are the medium for the microorganisms and Powerzyme is the microorganisms and enzymes.
- LCD-50 - Includes 50 liters of Powerchips and 0.5 liters of Powerzyme
- LCD-70 - Includes 70 liters of Powerchips and 0.7 liters of Powerzyme
- LCD-100 - Includes 100 liters of Powerchips and 1 liters of Powerzyme
- LCD-200 - Includes 200 liters of Powerchips and 2 liters of Powerzyme
- LCD-300 - Includes 300 liters of Powerchips and 3 liters of Powerzyme
- LCD-500 - Includes 500 liters of Powerchips and 5 liters of Powerzyme
- LCD-1000 - Includes 1000 liters of Powerchips and 10 liters of Powerzyme - Also includes Bin Tipper
Our digesters were developed for food waste over a decade ago, and have been instrumental in the foodservice industry. With the explosion of the legal growing industry we saw the need to address the waste problems that would inevitably be created, and in 2018 set our R&D team in Silicon Valley to the task of converting our LFC to the digestion of grower waste. The results have been exceptional. We were guided by long-established growers with over 30 years of experience in the industry to fully understand all the waste issues and allow us a better awareness of the industry and plant overall.
