Construction Overview

The Compost Drum is a commercial on-site composting system. It is available as either a

• Batch Composter

• Continuous Flow Composter.

They share some common features that make them a superior on-site composting solution.

• Heavy solid steel construction

This includes the drums, the paddles, the frames and all mounting brackets. These are protected by a

• Well proven rust inhibitor

to further enhance the systems’ durability. All critical components such as safety guards are

• Heavy gauge Stainless Steel.

An effective insulation system is necessary for rapid microbial decomposition or “Hot Composting” such as what occurs in The Compost Drum. We use a recognized tank insulation system. This consists of a

• High density glass fiber insulation

• Zero permeability, absolute weather and vapor barrier UV resistant jacket

which is as tough as metal jacketing materials, yet stays flexible at any temperature, Together, they ensure that sufficient heat is retained for The Compost Drum to achieve the temperature required for pathogen elimination and rapid organic matter oxidation.
