We set up, train and support you to design capacity
There are no universal templates: the process is built around the type and volume of organic waste your company actually produces.
Feedstock analysis
A rapid test of C:N, pH and initial moisture. From these we calculate the substrate recipe and the amount of bulking agents such as straw and cardboard, to rule out acidification and odor.
Site setup
We choose a spot on your premises for an open or enclosed setup: windrows under canopies, or existing buildings such as warehouses, hangars and former cowsheds. We protect the process from the weather.
Staff training
Operators get step-by-step procedures in the app and learn to run the process. Access to VermiAcademy is included in the contract. After launch, your team runs the process on its own or together with our technologist.
Support and guarantee
We support the site until it reaches design capacity. The contract sets out processing volumes and the preservation of the working worm biomass, provided Vermix procedures are followed.
What waste we take
Grape and apple pomace and press cake, cattle manure, poultry litter, pig manure, straw and husks, vegetable processing rejects, sewage sludge.

From a windrow yard to a continuous flow reactor. Vermix works with any configuration; the only difference is how much it tells you about itself.
An open concrete slab with a 3% slope — no canopy and no forced aeration. Material passes through four zones: receiving and shredding, fermentation in block bays, a field of “walking” beds with side feeding, and curing and storage of finished vermicompost.
- Receiving and fermentationblock bays, 2–4 weeks, temperature monitoring
- Beds 1.1 × 2.0 mside feeding, worms migrate crosswise
- Curing and storagepiles under agrofabric, bays and bulk bags
- Leachatechannel → settling tank → grass filter → pond
Three three-sided bays, 1 m high. Fresh feed is laid on the 45° slope face, worms move horizontally forward, and finished vermicompost is left behind — the wall is removed and the material hauled out.
- Fresh feed5–10 cm layer on the wedge face
- Active worm zone15–20 cm at the wedge “tip”
- Processed substratesloped feed layers visible
- Finished vermicompostbay 1 — wall removed, harvesting
Three raised reactors with mesh floors: a gantry feeder spreads feed from above, worms stay in the top 10–15 cm, and every few days a breaker bar shaves 2.5 cm of finished vermicompost off the bottom. The population is never disturbed — no metabolic lag phase.
- Fresh feed10–15 cm, the “kitchen” — up to 90 % of the population
- Active feeding zonereactor 3 — cutaway, feed layers visible
- Stabilization zonecastings mature, 30–60 days to the bottom
- Breaker-bar cut2.5 cm onto the conveyor below the mesh
- Gantry feeder and mistingtop feeding, watering without compaction
Six piles on one manifold, no turning: air flows through perforated pipes in the woodchip plenum, while a cap of mature compost holds heat and acts as a biofilter. Thermophilic phase at 55–65 °C — after 3 weeks the feed is safe for Eisenia fetida.
- Woodchip plenum15–30 cm, distributes air and moisture
- Thermophilic core55–65 °C, pathogens and seeds die within 3 days
- Biofilter cap15 cm of mature compost; pile 3 — membrane cover
- Aeration pipes10–20 cm; pile 5 — passive, pile 6 — pipes pulled
- Blower and biofilterreversible, suction → condensate trap
Twelve steps on your site
From preparing the building to shipping the vermicompost. Our technologist leads every step, and your operators see it as a task in the app.
Steps 11 and 12 are optional: packing and delivery, if the vermicompost isn’t going onto your own fields.
A year for the site to reach steady operation
A cycle takes 60–90 days, so a shorter term would prove nothing. In a year the site goes through four full cycles, enough for the process to become repeatable and pass to your team.
What the contract covers
Processing volumes, preservation of the working worm biomass when procedures are followed, access to the app and VermiAcademy, application rates for the finished fertilizer.
After the first year
The technology and the trained team stay with you. The contract can be renewed, and from then on we work as your technologists, not as a launch contractor.
What your company keeps
Waste stops being a cost item and becomes a raw material, and the technology becomes yours.
Waste problem solved
Organic waste is processed where it is produced: no logistics, no hauling by third parties and no grounds for complaints from regulators.
Your own fertilizers
Stabilized vermicompost, worm tea and bokashi, with application rates. On your own fields they directly replace part of the mineral fertilizers you buy.
Growing biocapital
The working worm biomass grows on your own waste. It’s an asset for scaling up recycling without buying more worms.
A self-sufficient team
Your own crew runs the process, guided by the app. VermiGuard protocols tell them what to do about overheating or a multi-factor collapse as soon as readings drift out of range.
Why on site
Hauling organic waste away means costs and someone else’s responsibility. Processing on site keeps both the raw material and the result with you.
