Compost Turner
TG 301
Our completely redesigned compost turners are lightweight and compact with an
independent hydraulic drumdrive. Various models are available: tractor-pulled,
bucket loader-driven or self-propelled units.
The technology
Easy to operate, mechanically propelled model (TG 301 mechanical)
Hydraulically propelled models (TG 301 und TG 201)
Fully hydrostatic model SGF 3100 (SF 3400 and 4000 in separate brochure)
Built with heavy duty components such as:
Saurer Danfoss
Perkins engines etc.
The core of each
compost turner is
the heavy duty
and state-of-the-art
drum.
Why turn compost?
Our turners, your advantage:
Low maintenance cost because of our high quality manufacturing
sturdy construction and optimized design! Contact us and we will be pleased to explain the advantages to you.
easy operation and handling
gentle drum action preserves the crumb structure
No odor! Our equipment, in combination with the proper composting method ensures optimized
material condition, thus guaranteeing an aerobic composting process, which produes no
offensive odors.
Minimized wear on (gravel) roads due to our side-swivel counterweight (TG 301)
Many options for customization
Optimal control of windrow position through lateral shifting appliance;
your windrow always stays where it should (option)
Krümelstruktur 1 : 50
The oxygen content of compost windrow must be observed on a daily basis. The Lübke-Hildebrandt composting
method uses a substitution test via CO²-monitoring. If
the CO² content of a windrow rises above 12%, the oxygen level drops under 5%. An aerobic rotting process requires at least 5% oxygen. Therefore the windrow must
be turned as soons as the CO²-content rises above 12%.
Even during long term storage of mature compost, the
CO²-production of the final product must not exceed 1%.

Mechanical drumdrive - the low-cost option
The direct mechanical drive provides optimal transmission of forces. The clutch PTO
prevents impacts on the drive. This efficient drive is a cost-effective alternative to
hydraulic drive.

Hydraulic drumdrive – Advancement through Technology
No overload safety device required
No impact on the towing vehicle or the turner
Fine tuned start up and continuously adjustable acceleration thanks to the hydraulic drum drive
Optimal rpm regulation through the variable delivery pump
The engine rpm‘s of the tractor can be
maintained in an optimal range (approx.
700 turns/min.), resulting in low fuel consumption, while the drum rpm‘s can still be
adjusted individually
The reversible drum eliminates the need
for manual work to clean up windrow ends
Low total weight 3650 kg
Maximal mobility because of an optimized
drawbar
Easy refitting of irrigation systems, fleece
underapssing, drawbar, hydr. shield, lateral
shifting and/or pusher axle
Excellent price-performance ratio
Compl. irrigationsystem incl. 1‘000lt tank

adjustable drive and AS tires
Height adjustment via hydraulic drawbar

Lateral shifting
Hydr. grooming shield (right side)
Hydraulically retractable counterweight;
reduces the weight on the inner wheel by
approx. 250kg, causing less wear on (gravel)
roads.
