Compostainer® –

The thoroughly ventilated bin


The thorough ventilation provides a high oxygen supply to the contents. This supports the activity of the micro organisms inside the material which are responsible for the aerobic decomposition of the material.






 

  

 

Compostainer®

Compostable waste, collected by Compostainers ® has a ph value of 7.0 and, therefore, is well preconditioned for the composting process. In this way, decaying processes combined with the development of unpleasant smells are avoided. Because of this intensive ventilation, the weight decreases by 13 % through evaporation of moisture in a fortnightly collection cycle (scientifically tested).

Thorough ventilation

Drain grating

Higher payload

The contents are throroughly ventilated by means of the spacer ribs on the inner walls and the numerous small holes in the sides and in the lid

The hinged, foldable grating enables the water content of
the compostable material to drain and therefore partially to evaporate


The spacer ribs on the inner walls reinforce the total strength of the bin – thus allowing the Compostainer ®
to take a higher payload

Ventilation procedure of Compostainers®

 

Ventilation procedure of Compostainers

1.
Cover against rain water and moisture

2.
Evaporation/ ventilation holes in the lid

 

3.
Spacer ribs on the inner walls prevent adhesion of the contents and ensure air circulation

 

4.
Grating for water drainage

 

5.
Air circulation top and bottom ventilation holes in the left and right side walls

Less water, less weight, less costs !


With a 120 litre Compostainer ® an average of 3 litres of water evaporates in a fortnightly collection cycle, 350 bins are emptied into the collection vehicle, equalling a reduction of 1,050 litres per vehicle. With 3 collection loads per day, this is equivalent to about 3,000 litres of water or 3 tons of weight which do not have to be transported and paid for at the composting plant.
