KRAUSE Turning Rotor

The heart of all KRAUSE compost turners is the rotor. The outer windings are designed to incorporate the edges of the compost pile, causing the surface material to slide down and to be transported to the core. The following tools mix and convey the material to the center. Here, the central shovel-like tools turn the compost. This continuous conveying, mixing and turning process ensures that the compost passes through all temperature zones of the pile. The result is a well-mixed and pathogen-free final compost. The rotor tools with paw-like, replaceable tips ensure efficient reshredding of clumps and branches.

KRAUSE standard Safety Devices

The hydraulic tailgate limits the material to be thrown backwards at the beginning of the turning process. That is for safety reasons but has also the advantage to limit the advance of the compost heap itself, reducing the needed ground space and its costs.
The fabric reinforced rubber skirts in front and rear of the channel protect the operator, tractor and surroundings from projected particles.
Safety guards are standard on all P.T.O. and Cardan shafts.
