In case this connection is not feasible, we do provide odor reduction solutions like scrubbers and activated carbon filters.

ECOBOT is an all-in-one solution equipped with an in-built high strength, corrossion resistant high strength alloy shredder capable of shredding the toughest of waste particles. The operator simply has to feed the waste into the waste inlet and the waste is automatically shredded before entering the conversion chamber below.
