Windrow Turner
Windrow turners play a crucial role in creating high‑quality compost by improving aeration, mixing and the natural decomposition of organic materials. Designed for strong performance and ease of use, these machines help maintain the ideal oxygen levels and temperature conditions needed for effective composting. Their robust construction and reliable operation enable facilities to process large volumes of material efficiently, reducing manual labour and overall operational costs. With durable engineering and consistent results, windrow turners support cleaner, faster and more cost‑effective compost production across recycling, agricultural and organics‑processing sites.
Why Turn Compost?
Turning compost increases airflow, balances temperature and ensures the even breakdown of organic material. This results in cleaner, higher‑quality compost while speeding up the decomposition process.
Different Types of Turners
Facilities can choose from various turner types—self‑propelled, pull‑behind and lane turners—each suited to different site layouts, material volumes and processing requirements. All options provide effective windrow mixing and aeration.
BACKHUS Brand
BACKHUS turners are widely recognised for their strength, efficiency and innovative design. Known for dependable performance and long service life, BACKHUS machines are trusted worldwide for high‑quality compost turning.
