About compost turners

Compost turners aerate and mix organic material in windrows — critical for facilities running food waste, biosolids, yard waste, or animal mortality composting at scale.

We broker self-propelled units (Komptech Topturn, Backhus A-series, Vermeer CT) and tractor-pulled turners (Brown Bear, Sandberger). Match the windrow size to the turner's drum diameter and throughput.
