How long does an FC50 cycle take?

A typical cycle takes around 6–8 hours, depending on the amount and moisture level of the food waste. Wetter or larger loads may take longer, and the unit will stop automatically once the process is complete.

What can I put inside the FC50?

You can process everyday kitchen scraps such as fruit and vegetable peels, cooked leftovers, bread, rice/pasta, coffee grounds, tea leaves, and eggshells in normal household quantities.

What should I avoid putting inside the FC50?

Avoid liquids (soups/oils), non-food items (plastic/metal/glass), and very hard items that may damage the unit. For best performance, limit very wet loads and cut oversized scraps into smaller pieces.

Does the FC50 produce compost?

The FC50 does not produce traditional outdoor compost. It reduces food waste by drying and grinding it into a nutrient-rich soil conditioner (PlantMix). For gardening, we recommend mixing it into soil rather than placing a large amount directly onto plant roots.

How often do I need to replace the carbon filter?

Filter replacement depends on usage and the type of food waste, but a common guideline is around every 6 months. If you notice odors increasing sooner, replace the filter earlier for best results.

Is there anything I need to buy to use the FC50?

The FC50 works out of the box. The only consumable is the carbon filter used for odor control, which is replaced periodically depending on usage.
