- Uses 12mm thick professionally and dynamically balanced drum. (No shaking of body when turning compost!!!– Please compare any unt!)
- Uses Bennox Steel spatula blades of specific size simple shape and all same weight!- angle mounted with 90 deg mounting support for best breakup, lift of compost, fluffing compost and replacing old air with new fresh oxygen laden air!! this all done without breaking blades because of weighty overload! which also is detrimental for gearbox!
- Composter turns 1,200 cu meters per hour at 300 meters per hour ground speed. This is the speed of the crawler gear on a tractor at 1700 rpm which customer must please have.

Lifting and lowering Turner Roter with its blades only!!!
Our TM3 compost turner has Hydraulic connection couplers for adjusting height of turner rotor up or down by over 50cm from ground level for easily handling from difficult to normal turns–
This all controlled from tractor/operator seat!
Thus, No need to lift and lower entire heavy overweight turner housing with rotor. we do rotor only— Perfectly logical!!!
Others have the rotor located in a fixed position within the housing where roter only is NOT adjustable.
- This does not allow a first difficult turn setting.
- Entire HEAVY roter and housing is lifted in and out!
This roter lifting and lowering is ideal for handling compost because when
compost heavy, wet and clay like material then position to start with at higher roter position being set by using the 2x hydraulic piston for ease of turn for turner.
OR
If normal material then position roter at ground level with hydraulic control to start its turning!
This done for efficient, proper full turn where material completely crumbled, compost totally agitated to release high temperatures, and to release excessive co2 to replace with fresh air laden in oxygen. and at ambient temperatures.
This to allow realistic amounts of compost to be lifted and processed properly and not to have massive amounts lifted because roter is not adjustable!!
Turner drum with spatulars:
Our 12mm thick drum with the bennox spatulas will:
Turn rocks of brick size and smaller in compost and deposit them on side of row to allow clearing y labourers to eradicate them from Composting site!.
Turn and allow Nylon cord and rope to twist on drum — this allowing operator to clear off from drum till all eradicated from compost row within some 2 to 3 turns.
Roter before clearing all the nylon and plastic bags it extracted from a badly contaminated compost row
To manufacture a compost turner which can easily work on undulating land with the use of the stabilizer bar!
Mounting of Torsion bar for stabilising compost turner
Our Spatulas:
Ideal size, strong quality (Brennox Steel), mounted very stable on drum, mounted at well researched and tested angle and the number of these spatulas used is also a result of a lot of research and investigation.–
Roter design and pattern used on both TM3 and TM4—Note Dynamic balancing weights!
This all for best slicing, fluffing, turning, breaking of anaerobic clusters, releasing high temperatures and Co2 and replacing with ambient fresh clean air.
Sized and angled to easily fetch compost from bottom of compost row fluff mixing and crumble it and dispose this mixture into its typical compost row triangular shape. —
Same function from sides to middle and middle to sides!
Spatulas are perfectly mounted on drum without constantly coming loose, breaking, bending or wearing fast.– We have special nuts and bolts which are HT, these do not react with acids in manure and cause nuts to come loose!!
Real interesting and important!
