<p>In a method for composting organic material, the material to be composted is placed in disintegrated form in a container (1) by being introduced into the inner, lower part of an accumulation, located in the container (1), of disintegrated material previously introduced therein. The material introduced into the container (1) is then degraded biologically in zones which, as disintegrated material is being introduced into the container (1), are moved upwards therein. Finally composted material is withdrawn from the upper part of the accumulation of material. A device for carrying out the method has a container (1) and a material feed unit (11). The material feed unit (11) has a feed tube (12), one end of which opens centrally in the container (1) in the lower part thereof, a material inlet (13, 17) communicating with the feed tube (12) and adapted to receive the material to be composted, and a press means (14) for pressing the material introduced into the feed tube (12) via the inlet (13, 17), towards said one end of the tube (12).</p> |
