WAIT TIME IN BETWEEN ROTATIONS
In this menu you set the ‘wait time’ in between rotations. This is the period of time that the cylinder is
in resting mode, not moving. During a rotation, the compost material is aerated and the bacterial
activity is increased rapidly if the composter is in good balance. The temperature starts rising after
only a few minutes. After about 20 minutes it should be about 60ºC in the middle of the composter.
When the activity is high inside the composter, the temperature starts to drop after about 1 hour. The
activity drops because of lack of oxygen. 2 hours of wait time is recommended.
See more information in See more information in 4.3.1 Function of number of rotations and wait
time.
