Among the many options for kitchen waste composters, Karfo stands out as unique. With our innovative technology, Karfo can transform bioplastics and table scraps into compost-ready material in just 6 hours.

Unique Features of the Karfo Composter

One of the most distinctive features of the Karfo composter is its adaptability. Each operational mode delivers different results and is optimized for specific conditions.

• Quick Mode: Operates for 2.5 hours. If you're in a hurry or only dealing with simple materials like dry grass clippings, this mode quickly provides balanced compost. Additionally, it can be used to convert small batches into compost starter material.

• Standard Mode: Runs for 5.5 hours. This mode is designed to process food waste and bioplastics. Although it does not produce true compost, it creates immature compost material, which is ideal for adding to existing compost bins for further maturation.

Even Vitamix’s FoodCycler, with its 4–6 hour cycle, cannot match our 2–5 hour compost starter time.

What’s Behind the Magic of Karfo?

Boost of Warmth

The second key factor in compost production is providing heat. After microorganisms decompose the most readily available materials, new microorganisms take over, needing heat to thrive. By providing adequate warmth, Karfo ensures these microbes flourish. Additionally, because the first round of microorganisms naturally generates heat, Karfo does not need to produce excessive heat to be effective.

Technological Innovation

While these factors are common to standard compost bins, what truly makes Karfo unique is the technology behind it. With an array of built-in sensors, Karfo can intuitively sense its load and optimize conditions for rapid composting. Specifically, the sensors in a Karfo composter enhance:

• Material Size: Reducing the size of scraps is one of the best ways to speed up compost processing. While this can be done with a knife or food processor, Karfo’s sensors guide its grinders to the optimal size for your compost.

• Temperature: Not all compost is created equal. Sometimes, a batch of materials requires more heat to fully break down. In other cases, excess heat may produce dry, crumbly compost.

• Aeration: In traditional composting, the pile must be manually turned periodically to provide enough oxygen for the innermost layers. However, over- or under-turning can waste time and effort. Karfo avoids this by methodically turning and aerating its contents based on sensor data and built-in forward/reverse rotation capabilities.
