The energization of the panel heater H is controlled by the processing tank 1
In order to keep the internal temperature of the processing tank at an appropriate temperature, it is performed especially in the cold season, and the drive control of the ventilation fan is to send an appropriate amount of air into the processing tank 1 and to discharge moisture and gas generated by the decomposition. The drive control of the stirring motor M is always performed, and the carrier A in the processing tank 1 is periodically stirred to take in air into the carrier A and release moisture and gas generated in the carrier A. It is done intermittently to put it out. By such a control operation, the inside of the processing tank 1 is maintained in an environment suitable for the activity of the microorganisms inhabiting the carrier A.
The organic matter incorporated therein leaves a small amount of composted residue and is decomposed into a gas mainly composed of carbon dioxide and water.

Further, since the shutter and the outer cover are provided with detecting means for detecting that the shutter and the outer cover are in a restrained state by a switch or the like which operates in relation to a part of the outer cover, the shutter and the outer cover are attached after the carrier is replaced. When the user is informed of the quality of this mounting state,
It is possible to prevent the occurrence of improper mounting, and furthermore, since the detection means is in a non-detection state, driving is prohibited,
The present invention has an excellent effect such that there is no possibility that the operation after the exchange of the carrier is restarted with the shutter or the outer cover being improperly mounted.
