X150 Compost Extractor - Hiwassee Products

Hiwassee Products' X150 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.

Key Features

• Produces up to 500 gallons of extract per hour
• Patent pending stepped auger design prevents overloading extraction chamber for dependable operation
• Allows easy and precise control of extract concentration
• Manual auger operation allows off-grid operation if water pressure is sufficient
• Water agitation prevents bridging in the hopper
• Choice of bench mount stationary stand or cart
• Optional extraction booster pump and transfer pump. (The booster pump is recommended if water pressure is less than 40 psi.)

• Inlet and Discharge Hose Connection Sizes

  • No booster pump – female ¾" GHT garden hose.

     

  • With a booster pump – 1" female camlock.

     

  • Extract discharge connection – 2" male camlock on all options.

  • If the transfer pump was not purchased, a 4 ft length of 2" hose with a female camlock is supplied with

     the extractor for discharge into a receptacle positioned by the catch basin discharge.
