Lane Turner
(for enclosed facilities)
We support you free of charge in selecting the most suitable machine for you and your process, as well as the appropriate windrow size.
We calculate the difference in investment and operating costs for you free of charge.
We are particularly familiar with this problem from soil remediation, where the material must not become reinfected. In such cases, we recommend treatment in lanes. With our LANE TURNER, you can enjoy the benefits of the proven BACKUS turning technology without risking the material from different batches coming into contact with each other.
We offer both BACKHUS windrow turners with fleece winders and BACKHUS CON lane turners with winders for the CONVAERO membrane. With the combination of BACKHUS and fleece winder, the focus is on protecting the windrow: it is more difficult for water to penetrate and escape, wind no longer whirls up the material and odours hardly escape at all. The BACKHUS CON and CONVAERO membrane option are a system solution for maximum process efficiency in composting or biological drying. For example, the semi-permeable membrane allows water to escape but not to enter. The system also includes a lane floor with aeration and drainage.

LANE TURNERS are the first choice for maximum emission control: they achieve the best results when used in closed halls with biofilters. Turning with a BACKHUS CON in combination with the CONVAERO membrane causes hardly any odour emissions as well, as these are retained by the membrane. With BACKHUS windrow turners, this depends on whether you use the windrows outdoors without a cover or, for example, in a hall with a biofilter.
We will be happy to put our many years of expertise at your disposal.
We will support and advise you on the composition and selection of the necessary materials to achieve an optimum mixing ratio.
It may confuse, but composting does not necessarily always aim to create "compost" in the sense of a marketable product. Basically, the word "composting" describes the natural conversion of organic material into humus by bacteria in a rotting process. If this "compost" has a high degree of purity, it can ultimately be used as fertiliser. However, materials are often composted that cannot be used as fertiliser from the outset. Municipal solid waste (MSW) in particular often contains high levels of organic matter, which can hardly be separated from the rest of the waste – nevertheless, composting or biological drying is recommended for the following reasons:
