AGGRESSIVE FLAILS.
The aggressive Vermeer
flails ensure aeration
and mixing. When properly
aerated, the
composting cycle is considerably
shortened and
site throughput is increased.
CONVENIENT TOWING. An optional low-speed
transport kit makes
converting between work
and transport modes
quicker and easier using
tow-tractor hydraulics
and simple hand tools.
HEAVY-DUTY FRAME. Constructed of four
members of 4" x 3" x 3/16"
(10.2 cm x 7.6 cm
x .5 cm) structural steel tubing
and steel plate.
Heavy-duty frame adds rigidity to
the unit to help
prolong the life of bearings and
drum shafts.
CONTAINMENT CURTAINS. Rubber containment
curtains draped over the
front and back help keep
material in the windrow,
reducing the quantity and
distance of thrown
objects.
PRECISE CONTROL. Equipped with
independently controlled lift
cylinders for thorough
aeration of the compost
pile.
EASE OF MAINTENANCE. All grease points are
accessible from ground level.
