About the Solution:

The BioSqueeze 200, a signature piece of Fitec equipment, is a hydraulically operated press that separates waste into digestible and non-digestible fractions with a high degree of efficiency and reliability. It is capable of processing packaged and expired foods, and food waste from private households and restaurants, often without the need for additional liquids. Additionally, the BioSqueeze 200 produces a high-solids, energy-dense biopulp that is ready for pasteurization or digestion without any further processing.
