Product Specifications
Product Information
The Backhus Compost Turner is a professional windrow composting machine designed to efficiently aerate, mix and homogenise organic materials during the composting process. By regularly turning compost windrows, the machine accelerates decomposition, improves oxygen availability, controls moisture distribution and helps produce a consistent, high-quality compost product.
Backhus compost turners are used by commercial compost producers, poultry farms, livestock operations, municipalities, waste management companies, organic fertiliser manufacturers and agricultural enterprises seeking to convert organic waste into valuable compost. Typical feedstocks include chicken manure, poultry litter, cattle manure, feedlot waste, green waste, municipal organic waste, crop residues, wood chips, biosolids and other biodegradable materials.
The turning process promotes microbial activity, reduces odours, assists with pathogen reduction and shortens composting cycles compared with static composting methods. The result is a more uniform compost that can be used to improve soil health, increase water retention and support sustainable agricultural production.
Ritlee supplies Backhus compost turning solutions throughout South Africa and neighbouring African markets, supporting operations ranging from on-farm compost production to large-scale commercial composting facilities. Whether producing compost for agricultural use, landscaping, horticulture or retail sale, Backhus machines provide reliable, high-capacity windrow management.
