AZP 80
Meiko's AZP 80 is an advanced, high-capacity
waste pulper that reduces food and mixed waste
volume by up to 85%.
Normal kitchen waste, with its high water content,
is a recognized carrier for disease and odors. The
AZP 80 solves these problems by reducing food
waste to a dry, relatively odorless pulp, using a
vertical, side-mounted tungsten carbide grinding
mechanism and a vertical dewatering press. A
flushing mechanism keeps the unit operating at
maximum efficiency during peak loads.
Reducing waste volume also reduces labor
costs,as well as costs associated with waste
transportation, disposal and pest control.
As with all products synonymous with the name
“Meiko,” engineering excellence, manufacturing
quality and performance come to the forefront in
the AZP 80.
WASTE
