PURPOSE: An organic waste composting apparatus and a method thereof are provided to minimize the moisture content of organic waste and to maximize the degradability of organic waste by maximizing the activation of aerobic microorganisms and improving the structure of an air diffuser. CONSTITUTION: A composting apparatus of organic waste comprises an input hopper(100), a crusher, a crushed material reservoir(110), a sending tool, a fermenter(140), an agitation tank(150), an aging tank(160), a compost reservoir(170), a selection and packaging tub(180), a leachate reservoir(200), an aeration tank(210), a solid-liquid separation tank(220), and a water treatment tank(230). The crusher comprises a first crusher(102) and a second crusher(104). The sending tool comprises first, second, and third conveyors(112,114,116). A magnetron(120) is installed on the top of the first conveyor. The magnetron irradiates a microwave to maintain the moisture content of the crushed material at 50-65%. A magnetic separator(130) is installed on the top of the second conveyor. A fermentation liquid fertilizer sprayer is installed on the top of the third conveyor. A seed compost conveyor(118) is horizontally installed with a gap between the third conveyer and the seed compost conveyor. A chaff layer with a fixed thickness is formed on the upper part of an air pipe installed on the bottom of the fermenter.
