Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for compositing putrescible waste material, the apparatus including a stationary elongated compositing chamber which is mounted to be generally horizontal in orientation or slightly inclined from an inlet end to an outlet end and includes at least one rotatable shaft therein with paddles or tines that extend therefrom in a generally helical pattern. Rotation of the shaft causes the composting material to move along the chamber. Air is injected into the compositing chamber and accumulates in a headspace above the compositing material where it is measured for flow rate, gas content and temperature and eventually removed from near an inlet end of the chamber.
