organic waste volume reduction system

What is the MISHIMAX Organic Waste Volume Reduction System?

MISHIMAX is a revolutionary device that uses high-temperature aerobic fermentation technology with indigenous bacteria to reduce the volume of organic waste by approximately 90% in 24 hours.
MISHIMAX is operable anywhere indigenous bacteria thrive, using naturally occurring microorganisms to ferment and decompose waste. The system is available in most countries and regions worldwide, excluding extremely cold and polar areas. Inspections at public testing facilities and proof-of-concept experiments using in-house equipment demonstrated the quality and performance of MISHIMAX equipment, while operational tests in diverse temperature conditions further confirm its durability.
MISHIMAX currently meets the needs of a wide range of small businesses, including cafeterias and restaurants, as well as medium- and large-scale businesses, such as food processing plants, livestock farms, and water treatment facilities.

Why Choose MISHIMAX?

1.MISHIMAX uses wood chips and microorganisms for high-speed processing

The key to the high processing capacity lies in our uniquely developed wood chips.
The MISHIMAX fermentation and decomposition tank structure is designed to ferment and decompose waste with microorganisms, using wood chips made from thinned timber in the process.
Cavities in the wood chips absorb solid organic matter where microorganisms ferment and decompose the matter into carbon dioxide, water, and ammonia.
This system flow reduces food waste and livestock manure volumes by more than 90% in just 24 hours. MISHIMAX can process between 25 kg to 15 tons per day.

2.MISHIMAX offers excellent cost performance and reduces processing costs

MISHIMAX only requires users to dispose of post-treatment residue once every six months. Wood chip replacement occurs at the same six-month interval, significantly reducing labor and operational costs.
The residue not only contains fertilizer components like nitrogen and phosphorus, making it suitable as microbial fertilizer, but the remaining wood chip fibers also offer potential for use as biomass fuel.

3.MISHIMAX offers customizable equipment capacities tailored to meet regional needs

Smaller machines (those that process under 50 kg/day) are manufactured on consignment in Vietnam and can be customized to suit the specific conditions of each country or region. Mikuniya is steadily expanding our sales channels in Japan and internationally. We are establishing a legal entity in Vietnam, broadening operations across Southeast Asia, and negotiating with potential distributors in the region.

4.MISHIMAX supports the SDG initiatives of companies striving to create a resource-recycling society

MISHIMAX eliminates the need for waste collection, transportation, and incineration, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with these processes. A local government simulation proved these effects, demonstrating that MISHIMAX could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 62%.
Mikuniya launched an agricultural business that uses residues as fertilizer to produce crops. The company farm on Daikonjima Island in Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture is home to a thriving abundance of crops. Mikuniya believes our active involvement in the post-recycling agriculture business will allow us to offer convincing proposals and technologies to address SDGs and build a resource-recycling society.
