According to a preferred embodiment, mounted to the outside of the hopper, and connected to the sensor for detecting the residual amount of the fermentation aid stored in the container, if the residual amount of the fermentation aid is less than the set value, it tells the container when to replenish the fermentation aid Warning means are provided.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will be described in detail to be easily carried out by those skilled in the art in order to facilitate understanding of the present disclosure. This does not mean that the technical scope of the present application is limited.

1 and 2, the hopper (1), the hopper (1) directly collected by collecting the food waste containing moisture, including the residue discharged from the home or restaurant, without using a disposable collection bag, etc. A weight sensor (2) for detecting the input amount of food waste to be inserted is mounted inside the hopper (1), and stores a predetermined fermentation aid that is selectively added automatically according to the input amount of the food waste input to the hopper (1) The container 3 is formed on one side of the hopper 1, and when food waste is put into the hopper 1, the food waste is processed as a livestock feed or the like by automatically feeding the food waste and a predetermined amount from the container 3. In the subsequent process of the treatment, the stirring blades 4 are mixed so that the fermentation efficiency can be greatly increased.

Automatically opening the damper 6 mounted to open and close the outlet of the container 3 when detecting the amount of food waste input to the hopper 1 by the detection signal of the above-described weight sensor 2. And a controller 7 for controlling the input amount of the fermentation aid to maintain the optimum fermentation condition by repeatedly inputting a predetermined amount of fermentation aid in accordance with the amount of food waste put into the hopper 1.

A predetermined deodorizer 8 for deodorizing the odor generated during the fermentation of food waste introduced into the hopper 1 is mounted in the hopper 1, and the remaining amount of the fermentation aid in the container 3 is A sensor 9 for detecting is mounted, and when the residual amount of the fermentation aid is lower than the set value in the container 3 by the detection signal of the sensor 9, the sensor 9 is automatically operated to inform the container 3 of the replenishment time of the fermentation aid. Warning means 10 of a buzzer or a lamp are formed outside the hopper 1.
