How does a Syker System work?
A Syker System is a fully automatic, environmentally-friendly means to dispose of food waste at the source.
What is a Syker System?
Using a Syker System is easy and hassle-free. Most facilities are ready for installation with hot and cold water, power, and a drain nearby. To operate, simply lift the lid and dispose of your food waste. Think of a Syker System as a food waste bin you’ll never need to empty.
Food waste is added to the reaction chamber along with SykerStars and SykerSolution to propel decomposition. SykerSolution is our blend of microorganisms and enzymes that digest waste, and SykerStars are its housing medium. This potent combination transforms food waste into gray water that is safely dischargeable to municipal sewage systems. Controlled water and air injection accelerates this process, with most food waste being digested in under 24 hours, making a Syker System the ultimate aerobic digestion machine.
What can a Syker System Digest?
A Syker System is capable of digesting a wide variety of food waste. Suitable foods include but are not limited to:
- Fruit and vegetables (highly fibrous items should be limited)
- Meat
- Fish (including small bones)
- Cheese
- Breads
- Pasta and Rice
- Nuts
- If it can go in your stomach it can go inside our machine.
Unsuitable food items include:
- Coffee grounds
- Egg Shells
- Liquids & Oils
- Fruit Stones
- Shells (i.e nut, coconut, etc.)

The Impact of Food Waste on the Environment
Food waste that ends up in landfills produces a large amount of methane, a more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2. Excess amounts of greenhouse gases such as methane, CO2 and chlorofluorocarbons absorb infrared radiation and heat up the earth’s atmosphere, causing global warming and climate change.
Aerobic Digestion and Food Waste Processing
Aerobic digestion of food waste is a natural process that occurs in the presence of oxygen. The breakdown of organic waste is accelerated by the process inside the Syker reaction chamber. The digested waste is transformed into grey water that can be sent to water treatment facilities.
Benefits of On-Site Food Digesters
- Reduced waste collection expenses, as the waste is handled on-site without the need of being collected or transported
- Improve your organizations environmental sustainability goals , which benefit consumer relations
- A reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to help protect our environment
- Improved hygiene due to lack of odour in the aerobic digestion process, and the elimination of food containers that could attract vermin
- Internal data analytics to monitor carbon footprint reduction goals
