Eggersmann BACKHUS CON 80: Large-scale automated lane turner for membrane composting
High-output turning with closed environmental control
The Eggersmann BACKHUS CON 80 is an automated composting machine and large-scale compost turner built for industrial facilities requiring controlled biological processing within enclosed lanes. Its heavy-duty windrow turner system maintains consistent aeration in membrane system composting, enabling high compost volumes to be processed with reliable environmental control. With a throughput of up to 6,000 m³/h, a lane width of 8m, and a material height of 3.2m, the CON 80 is designed around advanced automation to reduce operator input while maintaining stable decomposition conditions across industrial composting cycles, supporting composting and biological drying for household waste and organic waste.
BACKHUS CON 80’s Key Features
Smart lane turning with membrane
Smart lane turning with membrane
The CON 80 performs turning operations without disrupting the Convaero membrane. The rotation path is designed to retain cover integrity, enabling oxygen exchange and moisture balancing under protection. This controlled process promotes steady microbial activity and reduces heat loss, supporting a smooth compost maturation curve. Integrated winding and unwinding functionality ensures the membrane remains secure during the turning process, improving efficiency in emission-controlled composting.

Closed system design
Closed system design
The machine operates within a covered lane structure that supports regulated decomposition. The closed design reduces odour, shields material from weather events, and helps maintain moisture levels. It also provides a substantially cleaner working environment with reduced emissions, making it ideal for biological drying of household waste, municipal solid waste, and biomass streams.

High output
High output
The CON 80 is engineered for high processing speed and stable mass handling. Larger facilities benefit from maintaining aeration even when windrow sizes scale upward. Its strong rotor performance allows continuous lane agitation that promotes homogenisation of dense inputs, ensuring maximum efficiency for composting and biological drying operations.
