A composting toilet for composting toilet waste, which toilet comprises a composting chamber, in which the toilet waste is received and when needed is mixed with a decomposition-boosting material in order to decompose this compost into humus, a humus-collection box, which is located underneath the composting chamber for collection and emptying of the humus from the composting chamber, and a grid positioned between the composting chamber and the humus-collection box and formed with through-passag...

An aerobic digestor for rapidly and efficiently composting waste vegetation and the like has a rotatable drum mounted on a horizontal transverse axis at the midpoint of the length on a frame spacing it above the ground a distance sufficient for rotation; a fixed end of the drum mounts a perforate tube coaxially in the drum between the ends and holes in the fixed end and the removable end of the drum admit air for composting to the perforate tube through adjustable shutters; material being compos...

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 ...

The disclosure is directed to a large composting system as well as to a new composting method for the automatic production of compost. A mobile layer rearranging unit includes a conveyor system which is changeable with respect to length can be remote-controlled so that the influx of rotting matter is optimized according to throughput and rotting time and the rot loss is compensated for by repeatedly restoring the complete rot height. The required space requirement is less than before. Any mechan...

A composting equipment for crushing wood comprises a container, a conveying device and an impact mechanism at its one end. At its other end a driving engine is located which is coupled to the impact mechanism by a power transmission. The conveying device is located at the same level as the shaft of the impact mechanism. A barrel compresses the material and pulls the material in. Wheels and supports permit quasi-stationary installation at the site of operation and a slight displacement for exampl...

A composting facility comprising an elongated composting bay, a compost handling machine, and a ventilation system. The composting bay holds organic waste material while that material composts; and the compost handling machine is adapted to agitate the compost in, and to move the compost along, the bay. The ventilation system selectively conducts air into the compost, and this system includes a sensor, recessed in the bay, to actuate the ventilation system when the temperature of the compost ris...

A composting device for composting organic matter, includes a hollow container having a bottom end, a top end and at least one sidewall extending therebetween. The top end includes a charge opening therein for adding organic matter. The container also includes a discharge opening for proximal the bottom end for removing compost matter. A removable top cover for cooperating with the top end of the hollow container, covers the charge opening. The top cover is removable to expose the charge opening...

A composting system for promoting maximum aerobic microbial activity in a composting bed. The system includes at least one composting bay for receiving composting material and an agitator for aerating and displacing composting material as it travels through the composting bay. The agitator has at least one structural frame member, and a conveyor, a feeder, and at least one bridge breaker that are mounted to the structural frame member. As the agitator travels through the bay, the feeder takes co...

A composting container for holding and composting farming and stock raising waste material including a barrel, and top and bottom lids openable. The circumference of a lower half portion of the said barrel of the container is tightened by bands. This arrangement helps the container efficiently ferment and decompose a manure inside without tedious works such as providing proper moisture and ventilation, which are regularly required in conventional manure storage outdoors.

An apparatus is disclosed for composting a relatively large quantity of organic materials with a relatively small agitator adapted to travel in a zig-zag path in a generally rectangular heaping zone where the organic materials are piled in a layer.
