A mobile, modular multi-chamber composting system for the composting of organic material includes a composting unit having a pair of adjacent composting chambers enclosed by sidewalls, a roof, and closure panels, with the chambers delimited by a separation panel, and the first chamber having a uni-directional tilting floor and the second chamber having a bi-directional tilting floor so that organic material can be placed in the first chamber and transferred to the second chamber to facilitate de...

A garden composter for decomposing garden waste in which the composter has a longitudinally extending cylindrical outer drum which is mounted to a support frame. Tumbling means are provided for coupling the drum to the support frame for rotation of the drum relative to the support frame about an axis of rotation of the drum. The drum has at least one load opening formed in a cylindrical wall portion for receiving organic waste into an outer chamber and a closure cap for selectively closing the l...

A composting container is disclosed which includes side walls, a base and an opening. The composting container defines an internal space. A platform in the container separates the internal space from a collection chamber below the platform. An aerator in the container is in conmmunication with the outside air so that air can pass into the aerator and then flow into composting material within the container. Leachate which drains from the composting material is collected in the collection chamber ...

A method and means for drawing air through material by natural draft wherein air is drawn into one end of a container having the material therein and is sucked from the other end thereof by a wind powered rotary turbine ventilator.

An organic waste disposer includes a frame having a plurality of heating plates, a driving device, a treating trough, a stirring device, a final treating container, a water collection device, etc. In disposing the organic waste, the organic waste being added with a yeast (for instance, Bio) is placed into the treating trough for fermentation, and in combination with the stirring device and natural micro-organism decomposition, the organic waste is decomposed to form feeds or organic fertilizer, ...

Organic waste disposal equipment and systems that make use of microbes' bioactivities with a feature of circulation mechanism so that wastes stored at the bottom part of a treatment tank is transferred to the upper part of its own or other tanks by lifting conveyors, and organic waste disposal equipment and systems that make use of microbes' bioactivities with a feature in its structure of having treatment tanks and lifting conveyors so that wastes stored at the bottom part of a treatment tank i...

This invention provides a waste-processing system capable of processing high-solids wastes such as manure. This invention provides a compact U-shaped digester that allows for recycling of activated sludge to improve the efficiency of the process. Efficiency is also improved through a sludge heating design that creates a current in the digester and efficiently heats the sludge. A composter is provided to further process the sludge through aerobic digestion to create usable fertilizer. Finally, on...

For disposing of liquid pig manure by composting same with solid carbonaceous matter. The composting material is contained in a trough, and is turned by means of an apron, which is supported in a carriage for a travelling along the trough. The apron carries moving rakes which lift and turn the material. The apron can be set to traverse both backwards and forwards. The apron is angled to a bottom-leading configuration during traversing, and the apron is capable of being lifted, to change the angl...

An apparatus for processing solid organic waste by crushing and/or agitating and fermenting the waste includes a solid organic matter processing device including a processing vessel provided with a crushing unit for receiving and crushing the solid organic waste and a processing unit for agitating and fermenting the crushed waste, a heat exchanger disposed outside the solid organic matter processing device which heat exchanger condenses vapor in a gas supplied from the processing vessel of the s...

This disclosure is directed to a method and apparatus for recycling organic waste material into reusable compost. This is attained by shredding or grinding organic waste and mixing the ground waste into a homogeneous mass and conveying the homogeneous mass to a decomposition chamber where it is aerated with recirculating air to decompose into a reusable compost. The apparatus for carrying out the process includes a compact, self-contained housing having a component section and a decomposition ch...
