A900 Rocket composter
The Rocket® is an in-vessel composter for on-site treatment of organic wastes. These wastes can be food waste, meat and fish, garden and horticultural. The Rocket® composter provides a clean and simple solution that allows food waste to be treated after its disposal, within a reasonably small area with minimal operator interaction. In 14 days, the Rocket® composter transform the food waste into compost, which can be used for lawns and other green areas, thus closing the loop of recycling. It is a continuous process; once you closed the 14 days loop you get compost every day!
The Rocket® eliminates the need for transportation of organic wastes from Universities, Hotels, Government Facilities, Corporate Cafeterias, Prisons and Nursing Homes, among other users. The Rocket® is very simple to run, requiring approximately 15-20 minutes of labor per day. The cost of operation is only wood chips (bulking agent) and minimal electrical power. The Rocket® technology allows for a continuous in-vessel process in a cost effective way, saving time and effort, while producing high quality compost. The end product is compost, its a finish product which only needs to be cure in the open air where there is no need to aerate during this curing process.
In other units when discharging from an in-vessel or a drum in 3-5 days, the composting process needs to be finish. The material needs to be put in windrows and turn to aerate during 21 - 40 days. Oxygen and moisture levels need to be monitored carefully to avoid odors and to make sure that the compost is working. After the composting process is finished, the compost should be cured for an additional 21 days or more. During this stabilization period, the material will still need to be turn and aerated.
