A four-star resort in Mallorca serving more than 1,200 buffet covers a day was paying to have close to 300 kg of food waste trucked off site every day. To meet Spanish bio-waste separation obligations and control rising collection costs, the hotel installed a TOGO TG-CC-300 Commercial Composting Machine - 300 kg/day capacity, fully automatic PLC control and SUS304 construction - in its waste handling area next to the main kitchen.
The property operates 380 rooms with three buffet restaurants, two a la carte outlets, a staff canteen and pool bar service. Food waste came from preparation in four kitchens plus plate scrapings from the buffets. Previously everything was compacted into wet waste containers and collected daily by a licensed waste management company under the island's strict residual waste rules.
- Regulatory pressure. Spanish waste law 7/2022 requires separate collection and treatment of bio-waste, and the Balearic Islands apply some of the strictest residual waste limits in Spain.
- Daily volume. Peak-season output reached 280-320 kg of organic waste per day, which ruled out small-capacity machines and multi-unit installations.
- Odor and hygiene next to a kitchen. The installation point was inside the service yard, close to staff routes and a delivery dock, so odor control was non-negotiable.
- Staffing reality. Loading had to fit into existing shift routines with no dedicated operator and no manual turning or additive dosing.
- Electrical supply. Only a 380V three-phase 50Hz feed was available at the installation point.
- End use for the output. The hotel wanted the finished material usable on its own landscaped gardens rather than sent back out as waste.
We supplied the TG-CC-300, a 300 kg per cycle commercial composter that uses microbial decomposition with in-vessel indirect heating to process a full batch in 16 to 22 hours, well within a 24-hour cycle. The machine is built from Q235B structural steel with SUS304 stainless steel product contact surfaces and an appearance painting finish, and it is operated from a Siemens touch screen with a PLC control panel, so the kitchen team works from a single start-stop screen rather than a manual sequence.
- 300 kg per cycle, 16-22 hour processing - one batch per day matches the hotel's waste rhythm
- 83-90% volume reduction - roughly 300 kg of wet waste becomes around 30-50 kg of compost
- Fully automatic PLC control with Siemens touch screen - minimal operator involvement per shift
- Integrated odor control layer - deodorization and smell suppression built into the process, with no special exhaust ventilation system required
- Safety interlock - the impeller stops automatically if the hopper door is left open
- 380V three-phase, 50Hz, 10.5 kW - a direct match to the resort's existing supply

The unit was shipped on a single pallet, positioned by the hotel's maintenance contractor and connected to the 380V three-phase feed at the service yard. Commissioning covered levelling, the first inoculum charge, a full test batch and verification of the door interlock and odor control stage. Kitchen supervisors and the hygiene manager were trained on loading limits, contamination screening for inorganic items, batch timing and compost harvesting. The installation required no exhaust ducting or building modification, which kept the project inside the hotel's winter maintenance window.
- Around 300 kg of food waste per day is now processed on site instead of leaving in wet waste containers
- Residual waste collections dropped from daily to roughly twice weekly in low season
- The finished compost is used on the resort gardens and landscaped areas, closing the loop on site
- Odor complaints from the service yard were eliminated after commissioning
- The property can now document bio-waste treatment for its sustainability reporting and local authority inspections
The TG-CC-300 gives hotels, hospitals, university canteens and food courts a single-machine answer to bio-waste separation obligations. A 300 kg daily capacity, 16-22 hour cycle, PLC automation and stainless steel construction deliver reliable on-site composting at the scale European regulators now expect.
