kitchen waste solutions

Kitchen Waste Solutions is Cottura Group’s professional line for food waste processing, reduction and resource recovery, designed to help commercial kitchens manage organic waste more efficiently, cleanly and sustainably.

From restaurants and hotels to central kitchens, institutional facilities and marine applications, the range offers different technologies according to each operational requirement: food waste grinding, direct discharge, grinding and dewatering, volume reduction and on-site composting.

Kitchen Waste Solutions is not based on a single technology. The range allows each project to select the most appropriate treatment method depending on waste volumes, available space, infrastructure and the desired final result.

Direct Discharge systems rapidly grind food waste for efficient discharge, offering compact solutions for professional kitchens where simple and continuous waste processing is required.

Volume Reduction systems combine grinding with oil-water separation and dewatering, reducing the quantity of solid waste that must be stored, transported and disposed of. Selected systems can achieve volume reductions of approximately 70–80%, depending on the model and application. 

Grinding & Dewatering systems integrate the complete process in one stainless-steel unit. The QSHS-02, for example, processes up to 300 kg/hour, reducing food waste to approximately 3–5 mm particles while removing water and reducing its volume by up to 80%. 

Food Waste Composting systems take the process a step further by converting suitable organic kitchen waste into reusable compost. The range extends from compact 10 kg solutions to industrial systems designed for substantially higher processing capacities. 

Engineered for professional environments, Kitchen Waste Solutions combines robust stainless-steel construction, high processing capacity and simple operation with solutions that help reduce waste volume directly at the source.
