Every COMPOSTO machine runs the same 24-hour aerobic cycle. What changes between models is throughput, power draw and footprint. Compare all six below, or drag the capacity slider to see which one matches your daily waste load.
Estimate 0.3 to 0.5 Kg of wet waste per person per day, then choose the model that runs at 60–80% of capacity on an ordinary day. A 60-flat society producing about 50 Kg needs the SMART 50; a hotel producing 100 Kg needs the SMART 100.
| Daily wet waste | Typical property | Model |
|---|---|---|
| 10 – 25 Kg | Villa, small clinic, café | COMPOSTO VEER |
| 50 Kg | 40–60 flat society | SMART 50 |
| 100 Kg | Hotel, corporate campus | SMART 100 |
| 200 Kg | Large hotel, mall | SMART 200 |
| 500 Kg | Township, army unit | COMPOSTO 500 |
| 1 – 5 TPD | Municipal corporation | Turnkey Plant |
Move the slider and every specification updates live — machine, power, footprint and price band. The floor plan redraws to scale, so you can see the space it actually takes.
Allow about 3 ft of clearance on the service side, plus separate room for curing bins where the output matures for 10–15 days.
All six models, same specifications, no marketing gaps.

|---|---|
| Ideal for | Villas, small RWAs, clinics, café kitchens |
| Serves roughly | Up to ~60 people |
| Power | 2 KW / Single Phase |
| Footprint | 12 – 18 Sq. Ft. |
| Body | SS 304 & MS, powder coated |
| Cycle | 24 hours |
| Price | From ₹75,000 |
Compact organic waste converter · 50 Kg/day
The most common first machine for a residential society. Fits into a corner of the basement or the service yard and handles the daily kitchen waste of roughly 40 to 60 flats.
| Capacity | 50 Kg per day |
|---|---|
| Ideal for | Housing societies, small institutions, gated communities |
| Serves roughly | ~100 – 150 people |
| Power | 3 KW / Three Phase |
| Footprint | 20 – 25 Sq. Ft. |
| Body | SS 304 & MS, powder coated |
| Cycle | 24 hours |
| Price | On request |
Mid-capacity converter · 100 Kg/day
This is the size at which most properties legally become bulk waste generators under SWM Rules 2016. Built for back-of-house installation, so it runs inside hotel service areas without complaint.
| Capacity | 100 Kg per day |
|---|---|
| Ideal for | Hotels, mid-size institutions, corporate campuses |
| Serves roughly | ~200 – 300 people |
| Power | 4 KW / Three Phase |
| Footprint | ~50 Sq. Ft. |
| Body | SS 304 & MS, powder coated |
| Cycle | 24 hours |
| Price | On request |
High-throughput converter · 200 Kg/day
Heavier drive and a reinforced shredder for continuous daily loading. Chosen where a 100 Kg machine would be running at its limit every single day.
| Capacity | 200 Kg per day |
|---|---|
| Ideal for | Large hotels, malls, catering units, large societies |
| Serves roughly | ~400 – 600 people |
| Power | 6 KW / Three Phase |

Five steps. The third one matters more than the other four combined.
Residents, hotel covers, staff, or meals served per day. Every calculation works off this number.
Multiply that headcount by 0.3 to 0.5 Kg for an estimate of daily wet waste. Use the lower figure for offices, the higher one for kitchens and restaurants.
Weigh the wet waste bins for three ordinary days and take the average. This single measurement beats every formula, and it is the main reason buyers avoid paying for a machine larger than they need.
Only the VEER runs on single phase. Everything above 25 Kg/day needs a three-phase supply. If your site has no three-phase connection, that decides the model before capacity does.
Aim for 60–80% of rated capacity on a normal day. A machine loaded to the brim daily wears faster and composts less consistently. Festival or banquet peaks can run over two cycles.
Work on 0.3 to 0.5 Kg of wet waste per person per day. A 60-flat society generating around 50 Kg needs the SMART 50; a hotel producing 100 Kg needs the SMART 100. Always size to your actual daily average rather than your peak day — a machine running at 60 to 80 per cent of capacity lasts longer and composts more consistently than one loaded to the brim.
Compost machine price starts at ₹75,000 for the 10–25 Kg per day COMPOSTO VEER. A 50 Kg machine typically falls in the ₹1.5–2.5 lakh range, 100–200 Kg units between ₹3 lakh and ₹6.5 lakh, and the 500 Kg industrial model from ₹9,50,000. Turnkey 1–5 TPD plants are quoted per project. Price varies with body material, automation level and site conditions.
The VEER needs 12 to 18 sq. ft., the SMART 50 around 20 to 25 sq. ft., the SMART 100 about 50 sq. ft. and the SMART 200 roughly 80 sq. ft. Add about 3 ft of clearance on the service side for maintenance access, plus separate space for curing bins where the output matures for 10 to 15 days.
Only the COMPOSTO VEER runs on single-phase power, at 2 KW. Every larger model needs a three-phase connection — 3 KW for the SMART 50, 4 KW for the SMART 100 and 6 KW for the SMART 200. If your site has no three-phase supply, that constraint usually decides the model before capacity does.
The machine completes its automated cycle in about 24 hours and produces a stabilised, odour-free output. That output then cures for a further 10 to 15 days in curing bins before it becomes finished, mature compost ready for garden or bulk use.
Under Solid Waste Management Rules 2016, bulk waste generators — generally premises producing 100 Kg or more of waste per day, or campuses larger than 5,000 sq. m — must process wet waste on site. Many municipal corporations enforce this through occupancy and trade licence conditions.
They are the same equipment. Organic Waste Converter, or OWC, is the term used in Solid Waste Management Rules 2016 and in tender documents, while compost machine is the everyday commercial name. Both describe a machine that shreds, heats and mixes food and garden waste to produce compost on site.
Every COMPOSTO machine is supplied with on-site installation, commissioning and operator training, a starter supply of composting culture, an operation manual and a one-year warranty extendable to five years. AMC plans with a 48-hour response commitment are available across India.
