Vermeer - Model CT1010TX Tier 4i (Stage IIIB) - Compost Turner
- Improve your composting effort with patented elevating face technology that turns the compost on the first pass.
- Create a space-saving continuous stack or efficient windrows depending on your needs and space considerations.
- Reduce plugging because the CT1010TX has a single-touch switch that staggers the start times of the conveyor and elevating face.
- Go at your own pace with the two-speed planetary track drive system – high for transport and normal operation, low for wet, heavy material.
- See your Vermeer dealer for comprehensive service and genuine Vermeer replacement parts.
Meet the Vermeer CT1010TX, our largest compost turner. With a patented elevating face, the CT1010TX lifts, aerates and processes organic material — and the optional conveyor allows continuous stacking to save you space.
The elevating face turner lifts the compost up and over the top, completely inverting the windrow. This method minimizes material degradation and helps introduce more oxygen, speeding up the decomposition process.
The elevating face tooth design helps extend tooth life. Each of the 517 teeth is mounted with two 3/8" (.9 cm) bolts. Should the tooth strike hard material or the ground, one bolt will shear while the second serves as a retainer to help minimize tooth damage or teeth lost in the compost pile.
To find out how the CT1010TX can help you increase production and make better use of your space, contact your local dealer for more information.
Patented elevating face Elevating face technology gently inverts compost, whether it’s in a continuous stack or a 20` (6.1 m) wide by 9` (2.7 m) high windrow configuration. It also allows the machine to be used on compost sites with either continuous stack or windrow designs.
SmartTrack An advanced control system monitors the elevating face, and the optional conveyor pressures and will slow or stop the ground drive when the pressure reaches a predetermined level. This feature can increase machine and jobsite productivity by reducing operator interface.
Single-touch on / off control A single switch starts the conveyor, then starts the elevating face three seconds later. This staggered start prevents conveyor plugging and saves time by reducing the need to clean the conveyor manually. Pressing the switch again stops the elevating face and then stops the conveyor three seconds later.
Hydraulic reversing fan A reversible hydraulic motor-driven fan automatically changes direction to clear debris from the radiator screen. The operator can choose the frequency and duration of the reverse function, minimizing the possibility of engine overheating due to debris buildup on the radiator screen.
Two-speed ground drive Planetary track-drive system provides speeds from 6.5 fpm (2 m/min) in work mode to 3.2 mph (5.1 km/hr) in transport mode. Transport and cycle times are reduced in the high-speed range, while the low-speed range provides more control in wet, heavy material.
