The BACKHUS CON combines the proven BACKHUS turning technology with the flexible CONVAERO system. This enables efficient turning in lanes for composting and biological drying of household waste and organic waste. Even fermentation residues and sewage sludge can be processed. They are also used in the production of substitute fuel.

- The CONVAERO system is based on biological drying or composting in paved lanes with an aeration and drainage system. The special CONVAERO membrane creates a closed system that can be adjusted to suit drying or composting. This allows water to escape through the membrane, but prevents new water from entering. Emissions such as odors are also retained by the membrane.
- The BACKHUS CON are designed in such a way that they move along the outside of the lanes with the undercarriages and simultaneously turn the material inside the lane. In doing so, they wind up the membrane at the front and unwind a new one at the back. Together with a unique encapsulation, this creates a quasi closed system. Winding, unwinding and turning are automated. The BACKHUS CON does not have a cabin.

CONVAERO System
- The BACKHUS CON and the CONVAERO system are also part of our Eggersmann FUEL process for more sustainable substitute fuel. Biological drying with the CONVAERO system reduces the water content in the biomass of municipal solid waste. This turns the biomass from an interfering material into a fuel. The net calorific value is increased.
