A windrow turner is an essential equipment in the composting industry, designed to enhance the decomposition process of organic waste. This robust machine traverses elongated heaps of composting materials, known as windrows, and meticulously turns them. The mechanical action of the windrow turner not only mixes the materials but also infuses them with oxygen, a critical element for the aerobic bacteria that break down the organic matter.

The windrow turner’s rotating mechanism, often a drum or auger equipped with sturdy flails or paddles, lifts and aerates the compost. This activity helps maintain uniform temperature and moisture levels throughout the windrow, ensuring an even and efficient composting process. By regularly turning the windrows, the windrow turner accelerates the breakdown of materials, reduces odors, and helps produce high-quality, nutrient-rich compost.

Operators appreciate the windrow turner for its ease of use and efficiency. Available in various sizes and configurations, from small, tractor-pulled models to large, self-propelled units, windrow turners cater to a range of composting operations, from small-scale farms to large commercial facilities. Investing in a windrow turner is a step towards sustainable waste management and contributes to the creation of valuable organic fertilizer for agricultural and landscaping use.

With our partner, Menart, we offer an extensive range of self-propelled (SPM Series) and tow-behind (SP Series) windrow turners. Menart windrow turners are robust in nature while maintaining all terrain manoeuvrability and a highly productive aeration and mixing process.
