FoodCycler Eco 3 Compact Kitchen Food Recycler

The FoodCycler Eco 3 is a compact, powerful solution for managing kitchen food waste in a clean and modern way. Designed for everyday use, it transforms food scraps into dry, reduced-volume material for easy disposal or garden use. The recycled output, known as Foodilizer, can be mixed into soil to support plant growth or disposed of, resulting in significantly less trash volume, helping reduce landfill waste and daily household trash. With advanced grinding technology and intelligent heating systems, it delivers reliable performance in a quiet, energy-efficient, countertop-friendly size.

• 3.5L removable bucket capacity for daily household food waste.
• Patented Vortech grinding system with metal blades for consistent, jam-resistant processing.
• Low energy consumption at only 0.9 kWh per cycle.
• Refillable carbon filter for effective odor control with no lingering smells and no attraction of flies or insects.
• Compact yet industrial-grade performance with quiet, low-vibration operation.

What’s in the Box:

• 1× FoodCycler Eco 3 Unit (FC-200 / FC-200E)
• 1× Removable Bucket with Vortech Grinding System
• 1× Removable Bucket Lid
• 1× Refillable Carbon Filter (pre-installed)
• 1× Carbon Filter Refill Pack
• 1× Power Cord

Engineered by a cross-functional team of mechanical, electrical, and environmental experts, the Eco 3 combines precision heating algorithms with adaptive smart sensors to ensure safe, efficient, and consistent results across a wide range of food types. Unlike generic recyclers that rely on plastic gears and low-torque motors, the Eco 3 is built with durable internal components that resist jamming, wrapping, and premature wear—even when processing fibrous foods like celery, corn husks, and tea leaves.

Each cycle grinds, dries, and cools food waste over 4–9 hours, producing a dry, lightweight output with significantly reduced volume and moisture. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for apartments and smaller kitchens, while its proven odor-control system helps keep your space fresh.

Use Directions:
1. Add Your Scraps:
Place leftovers, shells, peels, and food waste into the 3.5L removable bucket. Do not exceed the fill line.
2. Press Start:
Start the cycle and let the Vortech grinding system grind and dry your food waste.
Cycle Duration: Approximately 4–9 hours, depending on load size and moisture content.
3. Feed the Earth:
Once complete, the unit shuts off automatically. The result is Foodilizer—a dry, nutrient-rich by-product suitable for plants.

Best Practices

- Always add food to the bucket only, not directly into the unit.
- Keep the bucket on the counter while filling.
- Do not exceed the fill line or compress waste. If the bucket does not fit back into the unit, remove some contents.
- You may pause to add more waste only during Phase 1 (first LED flashing). Adding later may affect dryness and require a second cycle.
- For best efficiency, run cycles when the bucket is full (up to the fill line).
- Carbon filters reduce odor intensity but do not eliminate strong food odors completely.
- Overly hard or compacted waste may increase noise and reduce unit lifespan.
- Excess moisture may result in a damp by-product—simply run an additional cycle if needed.
- The bucket may be hot after cycling; allow it to cool before handling.
- Avoid third-party carbon pellets—they reduce performance and void the warranty.
- If the bucket becomes stuck, start a new cycle for 20 seconds, turn off the unit, then remove the bucket.

Care Tips:
Cleaning:
- Unplug the unit before cleaning.
- Wipe the exterior, bucket compartment, and outer bucket with a damp, wrung-out cloth.
- Do not pour water or liquids over the unit.
- Do not manually clean inside the bucket—the blades are sharp, and the bucket self-cleans during operation.
- Avoid household cleaners.
- Do not place the bucket in the dishwasher.

Operating Conditions:
- Recommended room temperature: 20°C to 28°C.
- The unit shuts off automatically when the cycle is complete.
