TREATMENT APPARATUS OF VEGETABLE WASTE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To propose a treatment apparatus for vegetable wastes with which, firstly, oxygen is sufficiently supplied and fermentation, decomposition and composting are promoted; secondly, temperature maintenance and moisture replenishment are sufficiently performed and the fermentation, decomposition and composting are promoted also from these viewpoints; thirdly, malodors and soil contamination are eliminated; fourthly, the supply of finely grained compost is made possible; and fifthly, there is no need for manpower, maintenance, power source, fuel, etc., and the apparatus is excellent in terms of a cost etc. SOLUTION: The treatment apparatus 1 has a windmill section 3 which obtains and transmits rotating force by utilizing wind force, a crushing machine 4 which is equipped with a crushing roller 12 driven by the windmill section 3 and crushes the vegetable wastes thrown therein, a fermenting machine 5 which is equipped with fins 18 for agitation driven by the windmill section 3 and composts the vegetable wastes finely crushed and supplied from the crushing machine 4 by fermenting and decomposing the vegetable wastes while agitating the same, and a water replenishing section 6 which drips and replenishes collected water, such as rainwater, to the vegetable wastes 2 within the fermenting machine 5.
