Eco-kindergartens.
Real-world reference.

Pre-schools and primary schools with on-site meal preparation are a strong fit for the Griffon range. Predictable headcount, fixed daily meal pattern, public-sector sustainability mandates. Kindergarten Srednjaci in Zagreb has been operating a GR-150 since 2022 — 200 children, 40–80 kg/day, four years.

The reality on the ground

Eco-kindergarten status with bins outside doesn't add up.

Public kindergartens with environmental certifications faced a contradiction: their meal programmes generated 40–80 kg of food scraps daily that went to landfill via daily collection — in plastic bags, on the street, generating odour and emissions in conflict with their stated environmental policy.

Recommended models

GR-70 to GR-250 by child count.

Small kindergartens (50–100 children) fit GR-70. Mid-size (100–200 children) use GR-150. Larger or multi-site operations move to GR-250.

Which model suits the number of children?

Kindergartens with 50–100 children match the GR-70. Institutions with 100–200 children use the GR-150, and larger or multi-site institutions move to the GR-250.

Where is the machine installed in a kindergarten or school?

In the kitchen or the room next to it. The system is enclosed, so there are no bins with food residues on the institution's outdoor grounds.

How long do the machines run in practice?

The installation at the Srednjaci kindergarten has been in operation since 2022 — four years of continuous service with a predictable daily meal schedule.
