360 view of our locally built compost turner. This machine has been built in South Africa for over 15 years. Turning your compost is extremely important as the material must be exposed to enough oxygen which in turn increase microbial activity. Turning the compost stimulates micro-organisms which is required to properly break down coarse material. When you turn compost it must be done quickly, efficiently and frequently. Closely monitor your compost to determine the ideal turning intervals. The temperature of the compost is measured using a thermometer. In the beginning of the process the compost needs to be turned more frequently to mix the compost properly and to activate the process. Compost usually takes between 12 to 40 weeks to make.
Our PTO-driven compost turners WN1600 & WN3000 units are built to work through compost heaps efficiently and economically. The WN1600 is for 1.6m rows and the WN3000 is for 3.0m rows. These machines are strongly built with simplicity, which makes it easy to use and to maintain. They have been designed to produce microbially-active high-quality compost. Tractors with a crawler gear with speeds between 250-750 Meters per hour, is a must, for these machines to operate efficiently.
A special hardened steel is used to manufacture the blades to ensure long lifespan and reduce running/maintenance costs. Each blade is uniquely shaped to bring the compost from the bottom to the top and from the outside to the inside. This allows the compost rows to have a chimney effect to create the perfect flow for CO2/Oxygen. Adding moisture to your compost will increase the microbial activity and is an essential part of compost making. A nozzle watering system is built-in (fittings not included) to provide the perfect amount of moisture to your compost. It requires little maintenance and repairs are easy to do when breakages occur.
There’s a hydraulic jack located at the side of the compost turner. The jack is used lift the machine and tilt it up 90 degrees. The jack can be used when the turner is transported or when a breakdown occurs on the unit while the unit is running and standing in the middle of a row. With the help of the hydraulic jack the unit is pulled out in seconds instead of workers wasting valuable time trying to dig out the machine with a shovel.
Unique Features:
• These compost turners have a transport mode.
• The unit is quickly converted from operational mode to transport mode with the use of hydraulics.
• Because of this feature it is easy to maintain, especially when you have breakdowns while in operation, as it cuts into a heap or turns quickly out of it.
