Rhino TM3 Tractor mounted compost turner
(Fitted
with Optional 500 Litre Microbe Tank + Applicator Boom!)
For Rows: 3 meter wide x 1,5 meter high x any length!)
We
find this to be the ideal size for rows where air movement
and tempreture controls is best for the production of Aerobic
Compost!
Note:
1. Beautiful Fluffing of compost being turned!
2. 100% of row is lifted, fluffed, fresh air replaces unwanted
CO2, anerobic clusters are broken up, decomposing carbons
are steadily broken up, CO2 gasses are released, compost is
well aerated with fresh air and oxygen, tempretures are released
and lowered, then all turned compost is nicely deposited and
triangularly stacked row behind.
3. IMPORTANT! Exceptional release of unwanted CO2 and lowering
of prevailing internal tempretures.
4. Effective in breaking up and mixing in anerobic clusters,
breaking up of decomposing carbons, manure clumps, straws
and clays in your compost mix.
5. Has Standard Drag line water connection point, with top
mount discharge point just above compost being turned for
effective immediate mixing of water while travelling at 300
meter per hour and turning. (Fixed on turner.)

Note
position of Rotor and how totally lifts all compost above
minimum setting, then deposits compost behind in neat trianular
shaped row.

The
following cross sectional drawing illustrates the concept
of Windrow Dynamics for all of us laymen. It is not designed
to be a technical presentation. Windrow Dynamics is basically
the natural or unassisted airflow and subsequent bacterial
activity of an undisturbed windrow caused by the rising of
heated air.
In the illustration, Zone # 3 represents what I call the Dead
Zone, or the anaerobic spot that normally begins immediately
in a newly formed windrow. Zone # 2, which is the most active
zone, becomes the hottest and has the most biological activity.
This Zone is the ideal zone. It can be the sweet spot of composting.
However, temperatures will rise too high in this zone and
begin to destroy beneficial bacteria. Zone # 1 is the least
compact zone in the entire row. It is cooler than Zone #2
but warmer than Zone #3. Bacterial activity in this Zone slows
down rapidly as the moisture evaporates and cool air penetrates
it. |

Ritlee
have seen a lot of different tractor mounted compost turners
all over the world, and honestly, our Rhino TM3 compares with
the best of these with ease. (Our TM3 is a very basic and
sturdy design built for South African conditions and operation.)
PLEASE
NOTE: Unit comes standard without microbe tank and
applicator. If required please state.
For Rows: 3 meter wide x 1,5 meter high x any length!)
