X350 Compost Extractor - Hiwassee Products

Our X350 Compost Extractor uses water jets to efficiently dislodge beneficial microorganisms from compost. Compost is loaded into the hopper, which is equipped with a water agitation system that breaks static friction along its edges, dislodging material and promoting an uninterrupted flow.

An auger transports the compost into the extraction chamber, where water jets placed strategically along the auger rinse the material. A booster pump ensures sufficient water pressure is applied to extract microbial communities without damaging them. A cylindrical sieve encases the auger and water jet system, and microbes are rinsed through the screen into the catch basin. The sieve is easily interchangeable, allowing for the use of different mesh screens to achieve various levels of filtration and sediment load.

By adjusting the auger speed, operators can fine-tune the concentration of the extract, since water flow rate is constant. This allows precise control over extract dilution and a consistent final product.
