There is no single price for every OWC machine because machines are designed for different waste quantities, construction requirements and processing configurations. Capacity, material of construction, shredding, automation, controls, heating, installation and accessories can all affect the final quotation. Two machines with similar capacity may also have different prices because their specifications and project scope are not identical.
Higher daily waste-handling capacity generally requires a different machine size, construction and processing configuration.
2. Construction Material
The material and thickness used in machine construction can influence durability, fabrication requirements and overall cost.

If shredding or size reduction is included, its capacity, configuration and integration can affect the overall equipment cost.
Graphic suggestion: Simple food waste → shredder → processed material diagram.
Control panels, automation level, sensors and operating controls can vary between machine configurations and affect the quotation.

A quotation may include different accessories, supporting equipment, installation, training or other project requirements. Always check what is included.
A 25 Kg/day requirement and a 500 Kg/day requirement should not be compared only by machine price. They represent very different waste quantities and may require different equipment configurations.
The right comparison starts with the site's actual daily biodegradable waste generation. Then compare capacity, specifications, processing configuration and what is included in the quotation.

When comparing two OWC machine quotations, don't look at the final price alone. Check whether both quotations are offering comparable equipment and scope.
☐ Capacity – Is the daily processing capacity suitable for your actual waste quantity?
☐ Material of Construction – What material and construction specification are being offered?
☐ Electrical Load – What electrical requirement does the machine have?
☐ Shredder Included? – Check whether shredding or size reduction equipment is included.
☐ Automation – Compare the control system and automation level.
☐ Installation – Confirm whether installation is included in the quoted scope.
☐ Training – Check whether operator training is included.
☐ Warranty / Support – Review warranty terms and available after-sales support.
☐ Freight / GST – Check whether freight and applicable GST are included or additional.
☐ Exclusions – Read the quotation carefully to identify anything not included.
A lower quotation is not necessarily a lower-cost solution if important equipment, installation or project requirements are excluded.
OWC machine prices can change according to model, configuration and project requirements. Instead of relying on old price lists or generic online estimates, check the current published information from the manufacturer.

Tip: Compare machines based on actual waste quantity, intended process, specifications and complete project scope rather than price alone.
COMPOSTO is the organic waste management equipment brand of DSC Engineering, an Indian manufacturer of Organic Waste Converter and composting equipment.
When evaluating an OWC machine, focus on the equipment configuration, published specifications, capacity and complete quotation scope that match your site's requirements.
The most useful starting point is your actual daily biodegradable waste generation.
Before requesting a quotation, share:
Daily waste quantity
Type of site – hotel, housing society, institution, commercial kitchen, etc.
City
Available space
This information helps the manufacturer understand the application and recommend a suitable equipment configuration.
