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 4.3.1Function of Wait time/number of rotations.
FILLING LEVEL
When adjusting the filling level you can choose how full the composter
should be by choosing how often the material should be emptied.
Recommended filling level is 4-5. The compost material inside the
cylinder should reach the filling level of 60-70%. The setting of the filling
level is dependent on the amount of material entered into the
composter as well as the efficiency of the biological process inside the
composter.

CYLINDER WITH COMPOSTING
MATERIAL ABOVE THE
RECOMMENDED FILLING LEVEL OF
60-70% SINCE THIS CAN CAUSE
