Learn how FoodCycler transforms your food scraps - and why it’s a better way to manage food waste in today’s kitchen.
Comment ça marche
FoodCycler transforms food scraps into a dry, manageable by-product in just a few hours - right in your kitchen.
FoodCycler processes food waste in three stages - heating, grinding and cooling - all in one cycle.
1. Chauffage
FoodCycler heats food scraps to remove moisture, beginning the process of reducing their volume and creating a dry by-product.
2. Grinding
Our patented Vortech™ Grinding Technology breaks down food scraps into small particles, helping create a dry, finely processed by-product.
3. Refroidissement
The final stage cools the by-product before the cycle is complete, making it ready to remove from the bucket.

Conçu pour votre cuisine
FoodCycler is designed for everyday use in the home, processing food scraps without adding unnecessary noise to your kitchen.
Every FoodCycler comes equipped with carbon filters that capture and absorb odors during processing. When filters age, simply swap them out.
One button. No complicated settings or modes. No enzymes or additives required. No plumbing or installation - plug it in, add your scraps and press start.
Remove the bucket to collect food scraps where you need it, then return it to the FoodCycler when you're ready to run a cycle. The lid helps keep scraps contained between uses.
Made for indoor use and designed to fit naturally into your kitchen and your routine.
FoodCycler is a purpose-built kitchen appliance designed specifically for managing household food waste. Our patented FoodCycler Technology™ combines thoughtful appliance design with technology engineered for food waste recycling — including Vortech™ Grinding Technology in the Eco 3 and Eco 5.
The output from your food waste is a dry soil-like by-product we call Foodilizer. Because it contains nutrients, it can have many uses:
En moyenne, un cycle dure entre 4 et 9 heures. Il est donc facile de lancer un cycle pendant la nuit et de se réveiller avec un sous-produit sec, Foodilizer.
Chaque FoodCycler équipé de filtres à charbon qui éliminent les odeurs pendant le traitement, y compris celles des déchets alimentaires à l'odeur forte comme le poisson, les fruits de mer et le fromage vieux. Si vous remarquez une odeur forte, cela signifie généralement que les filtres doivent être remplacés. Des recharges de filtres à charbon sont disponibles dans la boutique d'accessoires.
L'entretien est un jeu d'enfant. Pour un usage quotidien, il suffit de lancer un cycle : les résidus s'éliminent généralement tout seuls. Pour les résidus alimentaires séchés tenaces, faites tremper le seau dans de l'eau savonneuse ou passez-le au lave-vaisselle. Le seau intérieur passe au lave-vaisselle.
La durée de vie des filtres dépend de la fréquence d'utilisation de l'appareil et des types d'aliments que vous traitez. Si vous commencez à remarquer des odeurs pendant un cycle, c'est le signe le plus évident qu'il est temps de les remplacer. Des recharges de filtres à charbon sont disponibles en magasin.
Le modèle Eco consomme 0,9 kWh par cycle. Le modèle Eco consomme 1,5 kWh par cycle. Tous deux sont conçus pour être économes en énergie : ils traitent vos déchets alimentaires sans alourdir de manière significative votre facture d'électricité.
Oui. Le FoodCycler conçu pour une utilisation dans une cuisine domestique. Il suffit de le poser sur le plan de travail ou de le ranger.
Une chose à garder à l'esprit : les lames à l'intérieur du bol sont tranchantes, évitez donc d'y mettre les mains. Suivez toujours les instructions fournies dans la boîte.
Si votre foyer compte entre 1 et 3 personnes, Eco est le modèle qu'il vous faut. Il peut contenir jusqu'à 3,5 litres de déchets alimentaires par cycle et consomme 0,9 kWh.
