[Case Study] Cafeteria Disposer Replacement to GOMISER | AIC
CASE STUDY: MANUFACTURING FACTORY & COMPANY CAFETERIA (INSTALLED IN KITCHEN)
Switching from a Malfunctioning “Composting Type" to the “Annihilation Type."
Reducing High Running Costs and Hassles for Easy Operation by Kitchen Staff Alone
Installed Model: Commercial Food Waste Disposer GOMISER GH-20
Because waste can be input without draining water, it can be easily operated by anyone without needing dedicated staff.
■ Challenges Before Installation: A Malfunctioning Machine and Exorbitant Running Costs
They had previously installed and used a composting-type food waste disposer for the purpose of reducing expenses related to food waste processing in the company cafeteria. However, the disposer they had been using often malfunctioned, and there were many times when it did not decompose the food waste properly. Furthermore, running costs such as electricity bills were extremely high, failing to achieve the original goal of cost reduction. Even so, they continued to force themselves to use the disposer, placing a heavy burden on the site.
- Machine Malfunctions: The existing composting-type disposer frequently malfunctioned, failing to decompose the food waste.
- Soaring Costs: Running costs, including electricity bills, were extremely high.
- Burden on the Site: Because they continued to force its use, it caused hassle and stress.
Site Characteristics:
A company cafeteria serving many meals daily. Malfunctions in the disposer lead directly to a deterioration of the hygienic environment and operational delays.

■ The Decisive Factor: Overwhelmingly Low Running Costs and a Proven Track Record
When installing a new disposer, they compared and considered annihilation-type disposers from other companies, but ultimately, the “low running costs" were the deciding factor, leading them to adopt GOMISER (GH-20 model). In addition, GOMISER was already installed at another facility of the same company, and its track record and excellent reputation provided a great sense of security. Furthermore, GOMISER was highly evaluated because the food waste is annihilated into water and carbon dioxide, completely eliminating the hassle of waste disposal associated with composting types.
■ Effects After Installation: Can Be Input Without Draining Water. No Dedicated Staff Needed
With the installation of GOMISER, the processing capacity became remarkably higher than the composting type they had used previously. Also, despite the increased processing capacity, the main unit is compact, allowing it to be installed neatly indoors, such as in the kitchen. We have received joyful feedback from the on-site staff saying, “Because you just put it in without draining the water, anyone on the kitchen staff can use it." Daily maintenance has also become extremely simple, eliminating the need to assign a dedicated staff member for food waste processing, thereby achieving significant operational efficiency and cost reduction.
- ✅ Improved Processing Capacity: Despite being compact, it demonstrates a higher processing capacity than the previous composting type.
- ✅ Drastic Reduction in Work Burden: Troublesome draining is unnecessary; simple operation of just throwing it in as-is.
- ✅ No Dedicated Staff Needed: Because maintenance is easy, anyone can handle it, reducing labor costs.

■ AIC Comments
A commercial food waste disposer is by no means cheap equipment. That is precisely why the biggest focus is “can it be used with peace of mind until the end of its lifespan?" In fact, excluding cases like facility closures, there are almost no cases where customers switch from GOMISER to another company’s product. On the other hand, the reality is that there are many customers who “experience trouble with another company’s product and switch to GOMISER."
[Common Consultations] Main Reasons for Switching to GOMISER from Competitor Products
- ✓
Unexpectedly Soaring Running Costs:
We hear many voices saying, “We installed a composting-type disposer, but we are at our wits’ end because the maintenance costs, such as electricity bills and bacteria bed replacement costs, are too high." - ✓
Serious Bad Odor Problems:
There is an urgent case where a customer said, “We tried using a similar product from another company, but the bad odor during operation was terrible, so we switched to GOMISER just one month after installation.“ - ✓
Poor Processing and End of Manufacturer Support:
There are cases where, in addition to troubles such as processing not keeping up and frequent breakdowns, even repair support became impossible due to the manufacturer’s withdrawal or bankruptcy.
For sites troubled by the “malfunction" or “exorbitantly high running costs" of their existing food waste disposer, like the manufacturing factory (company cafeteria) in this case study, “GOMISER (annihilation type)"—which has extremely simple daily maintenance, low upkeep costs, and very little bad odor generation—is the optimal solution. When considering replacing a food waste disposer or seeking long-term cost reduction and odor countermeasures, please consult with our company, which has an abundant track record.
