About Ecopace Màquina de Fermentació de Residus de Cuina

Ecopace és una màquina domèstica que converteix les restes de cuina en eco-enzim. Les peles, verdures i aigua sucrada s'aboquen per la part superior, seguint les indicacions de la pantalla. Durant el primer mes de fermentació, Ecopace allibera gas i remena la barreja automàticament cada dia. Després de tres mesos, l'enzim líquid flueix cap a un dipòsit, mentre que una capa de malla filtra el residu, que es pot extreure per un lateral i assecar per utilitzar-lo com a fertilitzant. La carcassa exterior és d'acer inoxidable i el recipient interior està fabricat mitjançant injecció d'ABS. L'eco-enzim es pot utilitzar per desodoritzar i per al compostatge.

Unique Properties: Eco-enzyme made from kitchen waste can be used for eliminate odors and composting cultivation. Due to its crude production method, it is difficult to promote them from rural China to cities. "Ecopace" integrates the pain points in the production process of Eco-enzyme, intelligently and simplifies the production process. Its water circulation system is convenient for the storage and removal of enzymes, and the generated residues can be taken out from the side and used as fertilizer.
Dimensions & Packaging: Length 620mm x Width 380mm x Height 60mm
Tags: Eco-enzyme，Fermentation，environmental Protection，carbon neutral
Production Technology: The shell is made of stainless steel material to minimize the cost, and the ABS injection molding process is used to make the container inside to ensure the long-term storage of environmental protection enzymes.
Design Challenge: The most challenging point in the project development is to integrate the rough and complex production methods of Eco-enzyme and various pain points in the production process into a simple whole.
Research: Through market research, we study various data of consumers, provide solutions for sustainable development through diversified analysis of competing products, and then build user goals in new application scenarios to find more humanized design points.
Inspiration: The traditional incineration of kitchen waste will generate a lot of carbon dioxide. Compared with composting, making waste into Eco-enzyme can be used for deodorization, sterilization, etc, and the residue produced by fermentation can also be used as fertilizer after drying. The family has produced many conveniences and is also in line with the sustainable development trend.
Project Duration: The project started in Wuhan in November 2021 and completed in Wuhan in January 2022
Operation Flow: Pour the peels, vegetables and suitable sugar water from the top according to the prompts on the screen. During the first month of fermentation, the machine will remind the machine to discharge gas and stir automatically every day. After three months of fermentation, Enzymes will flow from the fermenting area into the tank, the residue will be filtered by the screen layer and can be taken out from the side.
