Drum composting

The drum-composting process

Organic waste can also be treated efficiently by aerobic composting in rotating drums.

Here the first intensive composting process takes place in a closed, forced aerated and temperature controlled steel drum with an especially developed protection layer against corrosion inside.

The process is a dynamic system with the possibility to move the drum in a controlled way with a speed of up to 1 rotation per minute.

Advantages

  • Closed system operated with underpressure to avoid odour emissions during the intensive composting phase
  • Dynamic, forced aerated system which guarantees efficient oxygen supply of the organic material and control of heat development
  • Temperature control directly in the material
  • Modular system easily extendable
  • Control of aeration in the composting process by temperature control in the material
  • Separation of impurities in dried and sanitised material after the intensive composting process
  • Separation of clean and unclean areas
  • Simple compost maturation in windrows
