Who This Machine Is For

• Large compost operations — built for turning wide windrows with high throughput
• Municipal and recycling facilities — designed for continuous, demanding workloads
• Organic waste processors — handles large volumes of compost and green waste
• Buyers needing production equipment — strong horsepower and large tunnel capacity

What It Processes

• Compost windrows — turns material to improve oxygen flow and accelerate decomposition
• Manure — helps stabilize and break down organic waste
• Green waste — mixes and aerates material for faster composting
• Organic material piles — maintains consistency and moisture distribution

This is not a screening machine. It is built specifically for turning and aerating compost, not separating material by size.

Specs in Plain Language

1,800 hours on a 2016 machine — that averages to about 225 hours per year, which is typical for a production-class compost turner. It is powered by a 540HP CAT C15 Tier 3 engine, delivering the power needed for large windrows and continuous operation.

This unit features a 20' long by 8' tall tunnel, allowing it to handle wide and tall windrows efficiently. That size directly impacts how much material you can process in each pass.
