There are several advantages to turning the compost swath. Good turning guarantees a uniform mixture of raw materials. This operation reduces the risk of hot spots, subject to overheating or a build-up of materials with high water content that compromise microbial activity. It defibrates and chops the product.
For a reduced investment, the operator has a machine that guarantees high flow rates but above all an incomparable mixing quality with a wheel loader. Platform operators using the TBU 3P consider that it saves 1 to 2 months over a semester of composting process.
Ideally, you use a turner designed specifically to turn swaths efficiently by moving material on the surface of the old one into the new swath. The Willibald TBU turns compost ten times faster than a system using the tractor-shovel alone.
