A food composter prototype model which simulates mechanical and electrical performance of an automatic food composter machine has been created. Food is an essential need for every living thing and being consumed everyday. Ironically, food waste is a horrendous problem, not only in this country but same goes to other countries. Thus, in order to reduce the food waste on the landfill, an Automatic Food Composter is introduced. This machine will compost the food waste in within one day and produce organic fertilizer. Other than that, it is improved to shorten the composting process. The composting process involve the heating and turning of the food waste to fasten the process. This machine operates by using the power window motors connected to AC/DC power supply from one side of the machine. Hence, this Automatic Food Com poster has a lot of potential in order to enter the market.
