Juwel | Aeroplus 6000 Multi-Stage Compost Bin

DESCRIPTION

Ventilation is the key to successful composting. With that in mind, Juwel has designed Aeroplus 6000 Multi-Stage Compost Bin. The adjustable ventilation panels and clever multi-chamber system create a perfect environment for hot composting and save you turning the compost over.

The high quality Juwel Aeroplus 6000 is a multi-stage vertical composting bin. It is designed to take up less space that 2 or 3 regular compost bins. Constructed of 5mm thick plastic, the Aeroplus 6000 is very durable and made to last. It is easy to operate. Simply turn the crank handle and the waste drops from the 2nd to the 3rd chambers, in the process both chambers get mixed. The top chamber is relatively air tight designed to keep flies out.

Walls include a unique "active" aeration system which provides controlled airflow for optimal microbial action. Lid is hinged with turning handle "lock" to keep animals out.

Stage 1

In the 1st stage food and garden waste is collected and mixed with only low ventilation (anaerobic) - this has proved to prevent from annoying insects like wasps and flies and to bring a greater mass of waste at one time to the 2nd stage by opening the discharge flap.

Stage 2

In the 2nd stage it is digested rapidly with generous ventilation, generating heat up to 158 degrees F and thereby destroying unwanted weeds. Here the waste looses a lot
of volume, so the 2nd stage has a capacity of approximately 3 of the first stage volumes. When the 2nd stage is filled, it is comfortably moved to the 3rd stage, at the same time mixed and aerated by the turning bottom which is moved by the outside crank.

Stage 3

In the 3rd stage the digested and cooled down compost is maturing in intense contact with earth and the myriads of useful organisms therein. As new waste is separated from mature compost by the 3 stage system and due to the turning bottom the mature compost is not compressed - discharging at the two discharge flaps at opposite sides is clean and easy. The mature compost is rich nutrient for your veggies and plants.
