Abstract: A method and apparatus for aerobically thermophilically processing organic waste material utilizes a series of movable process cars which enhance the environment for thermophillic bacteria growth. The process cars are designed to receive material at a first location and discharge it at a second location after maintaining the material for a predetermined time and promoting it decomposition.
Abstract: A method and apparatus for more efficiently agitating and intermixing organic waste material in a containing vessel includes a rotary cutting assembly which is vertically advanced downwardly into an accumulated quantity of organic waste material. The rotary cutting assembly separates an end portion of an accumulation of material from the remainder of the material and intermixes the separated portion with ambient air. The separated portion of material is then transported to a new location in the containing vessel.
Abstract: A composting method which produces complete aerobic digestion and pasteurization of animal and other solid organic waste materials is effected in an open top, elongate, composting vessel, for producing an odor free, pasteurized, organic fertilizer, mulch or animal feed supplement.
