Minimal daily maintenance required (1 hour per day max.)
To determine the correct size of machine an accurate survey of daily waste to be processed will be required. The machine will need to be indoors in a heated environment for winter use. Minimum temperature should be no less than 50° F. No direct sun. Optimal temperatures 70-80° F. (insulated versions are available for stand alone out door) Concrete or asphalt floor is required Pier blocks at a minimum
Continuous Flow Digester Concept
Benefits and Features
• Flow through design- Organic waste in on the top and finished Vermicompost out the bottom provide 95% worm free. 90% of the worm population will be found in the top 4 inches of the worm bed. Harvesting begins 6-8 weeks after setup.
• Year around use, 365 days a year.
• Highly aerobic conditions are easily maintained
• No loss of nutrients due to seepage into the ground.
• No need to turn materials
• After initial inoculation no further worm population will be needed. The population will propagate and maintain ample populations to process the organic feedstock.
