<p>An organic material digester (1) for the treatment of waste material which includes organic waste has an elongate rotating drum (2) through which the waste is delivered between an inlet and outlet of the drum (2). Mechanical and biological activity within the drum (2) converts the organic waste to a compost. A number of baffle plates (10) sub-divide the drum into treatment compartments arranged in series between the inlet and the outlet. A port (14) in each baffle plate (10) offset from the center of the baffle plate (10), allows through passage of material from one compartment to the next. Each baffle plate (10) is secured to the drum (2) by attachment means such as a number of spaced-apart radial rods (15) which extend radially outwardly from the baffle plate (10) through a side wall (12) of the drum (2) to which they are secured. Faces of the baffle plates are protected by a corrosion resistant material.</p> |
