This case study features Kobe Nursery School, which provides warm, community-based childcare in Matsusaka City, Mie Prefecture.
They had been using a different food waste processor (compost type), but operations halted when the machine broke down. Furthermore, the sales company no longer existed, leaving them in a difficult situation where repairs were impossible.
To solve this problem, they sought a new processor with the absolute conditions of not only processing food waste but also having a “reliable long-term after-sales maintenance system" and “reducing staff workload." They chose to install the liquefaction-type “GOMISER GH-20."
■ Background: Breakdown of a Compost System and the “Unrepairable" Dilemma
For many years, the nursery used a “compost-type" machine to process food waste from school lunches. However, when the machine broke down, the manufacturer (sales company) had already withdrawn from the business, making it impossible to contact them or receive any repair services.
Faced with the urgent issue of “how to handle daily food waste," they contacted our company to explore a replacement. Through our discussions, it became clear that beyond simple hardware specifications, their strongest requirement was reliable after-sales maintenance—a trustworthy company that would provide guaranteed support if any trouble occurred post-installation.
■ The Decisive Factor: An Innovative, Removal-Free System that “Improves Operational Efficiency"
The biggest deciding factor in evaluating the machine’s performance was the incredibly low workload provided by GOMISER’s unique “liquefaction and elimination method."
With their previous compost-type machine, staff had to carefully monitor “moisture adjustment" inside the machine and regularly perform the mandatory task of “removing the finished compost." This was a significant burden for the busy nursery staff. In contrast, GOMISER requires no removal effort—microorganisms decompose and liquefy the food waste into water and carbon dioxide gas simply by tossing it in. Highly evaluating the system as “a machine that eliminates labor and improves staff efficiency," they promptly decided to adopt the GH-20 model.
■ Installation and Effects: Becoming an “Indispensable Food Waste Processor"

There were no physical hurdles during installation, and operations began smoothly.
Since it started running, we received the highest praise from the customer: “With our previous machine, we had to be careful about removal and moisture adjustment, but GOMISER is a machine anyone can use, which is a huge help. It is now an indispensable food waste processor for us."
Under our comprehensive after-sales maintenance system, we will continue to fully support Kobe Nursery School in maintaining a clean environment and a comfortable workplace for all staff members.
- ✅ Zero Compost Removal and Moisture Adjustment: The “just toss it in" elimination process completely removes previous manual labor.
- ✅ Simple Operation for Anyone: Requires no specialized knowledge, allowing any staff member to use it intuitively.
- ✅ Robust Maintenance System: Eliminates the anxiety of unrepairable breakdowns, ensuring safe, long-term operation.
■ AIC Comment: Expert Insight
This case highlights two critical issues often overlooked when selecting a food waste processor: “the difference in operational burden depending on the processing method" and “the continuity risk of the seller."
[Professional Know-How] Replacing Compost Systems with Liquefaction Systems
- ✓ The optimal solution for facilities with “no use for compost": For facilities without their own farms, the “compost (primary processed material)" produced by compost-type machines ultimately becomes waste that must be disposed of, only increasing the labor required for removal. For facilities that do not need compost, GOMISER’s method of turning everything back to water and eliminating it is the most rational solution to minimize on-site burden.
- ✓ Avoiding agency risks: In the waste processor industry, it is unfortunately common for mere sales agencies without manufacturing capabilities to withdraw or go bankrupt, leaving installed facilities as “maintenance refugees." When considering an installation, choosing a company with a direct manufacturer support system and a long track record of operation directly leads to a reduction in long-term operational costs.
