MODERN TECHNOLOGY AND COST-EFFECTIVENESS
Preseco drum composting plants are based on patented Accelerated Composting Unit (ACU) technology, treating different types of organic waste in a continuous, highly automated supervised process. During the short processing period (only 7–14 days) of this purely natural process, the amount of organic waste mixture is decreased by 30–50%. There is no need for chemicals or additional energy, and both the process and end product fulfil, for instance, all official EU requirements regarding emissions and hygiene.
ACU has been designed explicitly for local use. It does not require large amounts of waste to work profitably. On the contrary, a medium-sized horse stable, small town/village or a food processing business already make ACU work in a smart way: Efficiently, Automatically and Cost-Effectively.
Our Composting Plants have been designed explicitly for local use, allowing their trouble-free location near by residential areas. Preseco Composting Plants function without odours, runoffs, insects or noise and do not attract vermin. The process consumes very little energy and the heat energy it produces can be exploited.
The end product of our Composting Plant is completely clean and hygienic. During a 2 – 3 month storage period, the compost matures and cools down, after which it can be sold as soil conditioner, biological fertilizer, for green building etc.
FROM WASTE TO WEALTH
Organic waste can be refined into superior products for private use or sold for profit.
IF IT DOESN’T MAKE DOLLARS, IT DOESN’T MAKE CENTS
ACU’s business advantages are multifaceted. The direct result of any Preseco Drum Composting Facility is a high value end product with steady quality. The end product can be sold in bulk or in bags to multiple outlets.
SAVE ENERGY. SAVE MONEY. SAVE THE PLANET.
Each composting unit is designed with cost-saving in mind. The units require low energy consumption levels because of the combination of self-sufficient internal heating and component engineering with a specific focus on using low amounts of electricity. Little to no manpower on-site allows ACU a high level of automation and potential for remote control. Because of the automation, there is little need for supporting equipment such as front loaders, etc. ACU has a low maintenance cost due to a simple and reliable technical structure.
YOUR FUTURE GROWTH IS PLANNED & PERSONALIZED

PROCESS OF PRESECO COMPOSTING PLANT
When the biowaste reaches the plant, support material is mixed to it in order to add carbon to the process and ensure the optimal structure of the mixture in terms of air and humidity (1.). Such support material can be peat, woodchips, straw or even cardboard, etc. The mixing of waste and support material is an automated process (2.).
In the next phase, the biowaste mixture is fed into an aerated composting drum (3.), where the temperature rises to 50-70°C as a result of microbial activity. Air is constantly blown into the drums by fans. Additional air injections take place after each drum rotation (4.). The number of drum rotations per day depends on the waste mixture (5.). To insure that the regulatory hygienization is accomplished in a case where the biological process doesn’t reach the optimal conditions, the auxiliary heating system will be activated (6.).
The high quality end product is transferred automatically out of the drum (7.). The heat generated in the continuous process can be recovered and used for heating, drying or producing hot water, etc. The compost is clean, odour-free and hygienic. During a 2 – 3 month storage period, the compost matures and cools down, after which it can be sold as soil conditioner, biological fertilizer, for green building, etc. (8.)
