Whether you’re new to composting or have experience but faced challenges while harvesting the compost, we have you covered. In this blog, we’ll explain how harvesting compost from our Orbin ECO-OWC products is simple and easy.
We offer two types of composters with varying capacities and features:
- Orbin™ SILO
- Orbin™ STAX
In the Orbin™ Silo composter, one silo is filled completely with the kitchen waste before starting to fill the second silo. The compost in the Silo model is harvested all at once, emptying the entire silo. Each unit of the Silo yields one ton of compost per harvest.
Harvesting from the Silo is straightforward: simply remove the screws, open the sheet, and take out the compost, which will appear in a cake-like shape and then put the screws back in place
The Orbin™ Silo combines composting and curing in a single container, allowing for the complete harvest of compost from one silo in one go. To avoid maggots during the decomposition process, it is recommended to use a shredder with the Orbin Silo.
Orbin™ STAX composter on the other hand is designed to handle waste without shredding, the unit is fully enclosed, preventing maggots from escaping and ensuring they decompose within the system. Since the organic waste added to Orbin™ Stax isn’t shredded, an additional curing step is necessary to further break down the semi compost into fine particles. In this, the semi compost is removed from Orbin™ STAX and added into Orbin™ SILO for curing. Then finally the compost is harvested from Orbin™ SILO.
Choosing the right composter depends on your specific needs and preferences, but whether you go with the Orbin SILO or the Orbin STAX, both offer efficient and user-friendly solutions for turning waste into valuable compost. Start your composting journey today and contribute to a greener planet!
