AZP 80
WASTE
PULPER
Meiko's AZP 80 is an advanced, high-capacity
waste pulper that reduces food and mixed waste
volume by up to 85%.
Normal kitchen waste, with its high water content,
is a recognized carrier for disease and odors. The
AZP 80 solves these problems by reducing food
waste to a dry, relatively odorless pulp, using a
vertical, side-mounted tungsten carbide grinding
mechanism and a vertical dewatering press. A
flushing mechanism keeps the unit operating at
maximum efficiency during peak loads.
Reducing waste volume also reduces labor
costs,as well as costs associated with waste
transportation, disposal and pest control.
As with all products synonymous with the name
“Meiko,” engineering excellence, manufacturing
quality and performance come to the forefront in
the AZP 80.
Standard Features:
• Processes food and mixed kitchen waste, including
styrofoam, paper, and cardboard
• Waste is reduced to a dry pulp, with a volume
reduction of 70-85%. Water and liquid waste is filtered
and drained
• Includes a vertical, side-mounted grinding mechanism
and a vertical dewatering press in one unit
• Waste can be loaded using a continuous flushing
trough, or manually
• Safety features prevent metal objects such as knives
and forks from entering the grinding mechanism
• Door safety switches protect the operator. The unit is
shut down automatically if the grinder or dewatering
press access doors are opened during operation
• Convenient, reliable electromechanical controls
• Powerful 8.8 hp grinding motor is mounted horizontally
for easy serviceability
• Grinding disk incorporates tungsten carbide cutters
• Vertical dewatering press chamber incorporates self-
flushing system to ease cleanup
• Flush-paneled, stainless steel exterior
• Automatic water level control
• Built-in connection points for odor neutralizing pumps
Options:
• Available in left-to-right or right-to-left configurations
• Available with or without external water trough and
water recirculation connections
• Choice of waste chute locations: front, rear or inline
• Choice of water circulation pumps to accomodate a
variety of flushing trough systems
• Separate control panel at remote location

Equipment Specification: AZP 80 Waste Pulper - Item No. _____________
Unit will be an AZP 80 waste pulper. Unit will consist of a grinding mechanism and dewatering press
in close-coupled formation inside a common housing. Unit will process food waste to reduce its
volume and to convert it to a dry, relatively odorless pulp.
Grinding mechanism will consist of an 8.8 hp/6.6 kW horizontally-aligned motor driving a vertically-
mounted cutting wheel. Grinding mechanism will incorporate tungsten carbide cutters for long-lasting
performance. Waste will be fed continually into the grinding mechanism by the flow of water regulated
by the machine.
Draining of the ground waste will be accomplished using a vertical screw-type lift and a perforated
cylinder, reducing the waste to a dry pulp. The lift and cylinder will incorporate an integral warm-
water flushing spray system to minimize cleanup.
Unit will incorporate electro-mechanical controls, as well as features to shut down the unit if the
grinder or vertical lift access panels are opened during operation.
Unit will have the following standard features:
• Capacity of 992 lbs./hr of food waste, or 705 lbs./hr. of mixed waste
• Accepts food and mixed kitchen waste, including styrofoam, paper, and cardboard
• Waste volume reduction up to 85%
• Safety features to prevent metal objects such as knives and forks from entering the grinding
mechanism
• Door safety switches to protect the operator. The unit is shut down automatically if the grinder or
dewatering press access doors are opened during operation
• Convenient, reliable electromechanical controls
• Powerful 8.8 hp grinding motor is mounted horizontally for easy serviceability
• Grinding disk incorporates tungsten carbide cutters
• Vertical dewatering press chamber incorporates warm-water flushing spray system to ease cleanup
• Flush-paneled, stainless steel exterior
• Automatic water level control
• Built-in connection points for odor neutralizing pumps

Innovative Engineering. Obvious Results.
The AZP 80
features a vertical,
side-mounted
grinding wheel
with tungsten
carbide cutters for
long life and
dependable
performance. A
powerful 8.8 hp
grinder motor
handles the
toughest waste.
The vertical
dewatering press
includes an
integral warm-
water flushing
system. Positioned
for maximum
effect, the spray
reduces buildup
on the mesh,
improving
performance and
easing cleanup.
A host of options allows
the AZP 80 to meet the
needs of a wide range of
facilities.
• Available with or
without a connection
for an external flushing
trough
• Choice of two different
recirculating pumps
• Front, inline or rear
waste chute
Note: All specifications are subject to change without notice
based on Meiko's dedicated product improvement program.
The AZP 80 reduces
waste to a dry, relatively
odorless pulp with a
volume reduction of up to
85%.
