Frequently Asked Questions

What food waste can the FC-75 process?

What kind of space or installation does the FC-75 need?

  • The FC-75 compact commercial food recycler should be placed on a level, stable surface in a temperature-controlled area.
  • This small industrial food recycler requires a standard power outlet and enough ventilation for heat and airflow.
  • The included drain hose must be able to reach a nearby drainage point, such as a floor drain, wall drain, or utility sink.
  • No hard plumbing installation is needed beyond attaching the drain hose and placing it into a proper drain.

How is the carbon filter changed?

The carbon filter is simple to replace: Remove the old one, insert the new one, and close the panel. No tools are required. Most sites replace the filter in this compact commercial food recycler every 3–6 months, depending on usage and odor sensitivity.

Can the FC-75 process greasy food waste?

Yes. Greasy or oily foods can be processed, but for best results, they should be mixed with dry material, such as coffee grounds, bread, eggshells, or dry by-products from a previous cycle.

Using the included FoodCycler enzyme additive also helps break down fats and improves processing.

Can the bucket be cleaned in a dishwasher?

No, the bucket is not dishwasher-safe. High heat and detergents can warp or damage it. The bucket for this small industrial food recycler should be rinsed by hand with warm water and cleaned using a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge.

What can the by-product be used for?

The FC-75 compact commercial food recycler produces a dry material called Foodilizer™, which can be blended into soil as a soil amendment for gardens, landscaping, or green spaces. Always follow local regulations on soil additives for your site.

Do you have customer support for FC-75 units?

Yes, FoodCycler has dedicated commercial support. For troubleshooting, replacement parts, or technical help, email commercial@foodcycler.com. Support may request error codes, photos, or descriptions to resolve issues quickly.
