Product catalog summary
Overview
CompoTower is a vertical, enclosed composting system designed for poultry manure. It is compact, made from stainless steel, and requires minimal space. The system is characterized by easy handling, short composting times, and quick commissioning. It produces a valuable organic fertilizer suitable for horticulture and agriculture.

Main Features
  • Continuous composting process
  • Short composting time
  • Compact design with high input capacity
  • Robust construction with high-quality materials
  • Low space requirements for outdoor use
  • Enclosed system with minimal odor and dust
  • Optional air scrubber connection

Composting Process
The process involves microorganisms degrading organic material in an aerobic environment. The composting time is influenced by the dry matter (DM) content of the input material, with optimal DM content between 40% and 45%.

Air Scrubber
The air scrubber significantly reduces emissions such as dust, ammonia, and odor. It can handle exhaust from up to two CompoTower systems and is available in standard and XL sizes. The scrubber is delivered ready to connect, minimizing installation requirements.

Advantages of Air Scrubber
  • High separation rates: over 99% ammonia and 90% dust
  • Fully automatic control
  • Delivered in a 40-foot container

Technical Specifications
The CompoTower is available in various models (BD 40 to BD 200) with different tank volumes, loading capacities, and electrical requirements. The composting time and capacity depend on the DM content of the input material.

CompoTower fermenter-3

Structure and functional principle The loading bucket delivers the input material into the transfer hopper at the top of the CompoTower system. From here, the material drops into the tank, where it is chopped by the mixing blades, homogenised and aerated. Depending on the size of the CompoTower system, up to four fans continuously push compressed fresh air into the material, thus adding the oxygen required for aerobic degradation. This starts the composting process. Sensors continuously measure the temperature in the compost. After a specific composting time that depends on the material to be...
