Komptech GmbH products

The Topturn is one of the most widely used compost turners in the world. With the new X55 we are further extending our position. Inspired by our customers, this third generation of the Topturn offers top performance with complete comfort and convenience. The 242 kW engine meets the latest emissions standards (Tier 4f/EU Stage IV), and the new cooling system keeps everything cool even under heavy loads and high outside temperatures. Further plus points are the larger, comfortable cabin and new automatic drive for relaxed working, and the hydraulically extendible maintenance platforms for fast and easy maintenance. Performance: Diesel engine with 242 kW. Windrow cross section at 45°: 6.2 m². Throughput: up to 4000 m³/h.

The Topturn X series is getting a new member. With the Topturn X5000, Komptech presents a modern machine with the ideal combination of performance and design features. The new Topturn X5000 is the perfect machine for the five metre wide by two metre tall windrows used at many larger facilities. With a sturdy frame, powerful hydraulics and large drum, the turner is ready to handle any work situation. There is a choice of two power levels - 205 or 250 kW for the X5000. That lets customers choose the most efficient model for their particular needs. A comfortable cabin, with power lift if desired, and roomy maintenance platforms that fold out hydraulically are further plus points. Performance: Diesel engine with 205/250 kW. Windrow cross section at 45°: 6.2 m². Throughput: up to 4000 m³/h.

The new Topturn X4500 brings high-end performance to the entry level category. The X4500 packs the proven functionality of the X series in a scale that is a perfect fit for small and medium-size composting operations. A robust frame in a pioneering new design, high performance hydraulics and generously dimensioned drum mean high throughput in all working scenarios. All engines meet the latest exhaust requirements. Generously dimensioned cooling systems keep them running smoothly even under full load and high ambient temperatures. Further plus points are hydraulically extended maintenance platforms for ready access, and low wear costs through double-use turning blades. Performance: Diesel engine with 151/205 kW. Windrow cross section at 45°: 5.1 m². Throughput: up to 3000 m³/h.

The new Topturn X63 as a successor of the X60 is designed for the most demanding tasks. Equipped with a more powerful engine and with an intake width of up to 6 metres the X63 achieves a turning capacity of up to 4500 cubic metres per hour. The combination of large drum with conveyor and thrower blades and the powerful drive ensures that the turner leaves the perfect windrow behind it as it goes. The engine meets the latest emissions standards and the new cooling system keeps everything cool even under heavy loads and high outside temperatures. Further plus points are the larger, comfortable cabin and new automatic drive for relaxed working, and the hydraulically extendible maintenance platforms for fast and easy maintenance. Performance: Diesel engine with 287 kW. Windrow cross section at 45°: 8.1 m². Throughput: up to 4500 m³/h.

In countries where separate organics collection is not yet in place or only partially so, the production of “quality compost” from municipal waste is the only way to meet the demand for compost. Even where organics are source-separated, trash can get put in the wrong bins, and improper prior treatment can result in contraries like glass, stones and plastic getting into the material. For Komptech compost preparation, the compost to be cleaned needs to be sufficiently cured or dry. Preparation starts with drum or star screening. The material is normally separated into an undersize fraction of 0-15 (20) mm and an oversize fraction. The undersize fraction is cleaned of contraries in one or more air separation steps, and then forms the product. Following cleaning by wind sifter, stone separator or a combination thereof, the oversize fraction can be returned to the rotting process.
