Composting


The task at hand

Aim of composting

The aim of composting is to decompose organic substances as efficiently and odourlessly as possible and to convert them into stabile, plant-compatible humus substances with the intention of producing a qualitatively high product within a rotting period that is as effective and as short as possible, and with emission levels that are as low as possible.

Everything from a single source

We at Komptech have been working intensively on this for more than 15 years. The services offered range from the requirements of an agricultural composting site right up to large-scale plants with pre-treatment, closed rotting technology and treatment of the end product.

Process cycle

Preparation

The process is undertaken in a roofed area with or without walls depending on the input material and local conditions. This process can also be conducted outside for purely green waste composting. The Crambo shredder brings the

material down to a defined particle size. Multistar star screens and Flowerdisc disc separators separate off contraries and noncompostable fractions. Defined mixing or addition of different materials (e.g. sewage sludge) is achieved

with the Mashmaster universal-mixer.

Rotting process

The input material and the associated limiting factors also decide for the rotting process whether it is conducted closed, i.e. in an indoor part of the system, or open as windrow composting.

Turning machines with practical size graduations are available for open windrow rotting under the product name Topturn. If the requirement is for a closed system, tunnel composting systems are used in cooperation with an experienced partner.

Fine treatment

To attain a product with uniform particle size, and to separate off any contraries still present, the compost is screened off. The screening residue is fed back into the composting process as structure material after wind sifting.

The broad spectrum of mobile and stationary drum screens, star screens and windsifters includes the right machine for any requirement.
