IMPROVED COMPOSTING PLANT

摘要

A composting plant comprises a series of side-by-side elongated silos (1, 2, 3, 4) with a turning device (F) movable lenthwise of a silo lifting composting material therefrom and transferring it to the adjacent silo. The turning device F comprises a flexible conveyor (5) extending over wheels at the top and bottom thereof so as to be capable of lifting material through a substantial height and flinging it back for deposition on a cross conveyor (6) which deposits it into an adjacent silo. Means are described for disabling the cross conveyor so that the lifted material can simply be returned, turned and aerated, into the same silo from which it has been lifted.
