Discharging and unloading compost from an in-vessel rotating drum composter shouldn’t be that difficult and it isn’t with the BioReactor by XACT. Thoughtful engineering and unique design features make it so. The time it takes to discharge the compost will vary depending on the size of the BioReactor, but in any case, the discharge time will be measured in minutes with no muss or fuss (or cursing or pitchforks!) And it will only require one operator to handle the job. If you are considering the rotating drum technology to handle your organic waste management needs, take the time to examine the ease of unloading. After all why would you want to invest in automated composting equipment that requires manual intervention to get the compost out?
We got a call a while back from a very smart farmer who has been putting compost on a crop field for 3 years now. In comparison, he has another crop field where he has not applied compost at all. This spring when he worked up the fields, he made a significant discovery. In the field without compost, he had to drive his tractor 2 miles / hour slower (than the composted field) and used 16 gallons/hour of diesel fuel. On the field with compost, he was able to drive his tractor 2 miles / hour faster and only used 7 gallons of diesel fuel / hour. With the cost of fuel these days, this is truly a significant savings. If you are looking for ways to cut operating costs, here is a sure fire one. Plus, the in-vessel, rotating drum
BioReactor can turn your manure into pathogen free compost in 3 to 4 days which can also be used as bedding for the herd as well as a soil amendment. When you start to calculate ALL the savings, the XACT BioReactor offers a return on your investment which out performs any other piece of equipment you will have on your farm. If this seems hard to believe, just give us a call to check it out for your farming operation. Many thanks. D
