Product Description

With a JK270 composter, it is very easy and fast to produce your own nutritious compost.

The JK270 allows you to make perfect compost from your kitchen waste hygienically, quickly and with minimum effort.

What is different about the JK270 compared to other compost tumblers?

The key features of the JK270 composter are:

  • It is insulated which is great for any climate and can extend the composting season in colder areas
  • Easy to rotate
  • Both models have dual compartments
  • Rodent-proof design

Rotating composters

Regular mixing is necessary for successful composting for two reasons:

  • Fresh waste is brought into direct contact with decaying waste, increasing the efficiency of the process,
  • Air is allowed into the mixture, providing the oxygen that is vital for the process

The JK270 composter is constructed for ease and simplicity of rotation - it's simply turned by hand whenever new waste is put in.

Insulated composters

The composting process generates heat, and the different micro-organisms start working at different temperatures. The insulation in the JK270 composter allows the temperature to rise higher than 160 F (70C), resulting in the quickest and most efficient composting of your organic kitchen waste. At these temperatures the process is so rapid that fresh waste starts to break down before it has a chance to rot and attract vermin and flies.

Because of its integral insulation, the JK270 will continue working through winter, long after other composters have stopped completely.

Dual compartments

The JK270 is divided into two compartments. One is being filled while the compost in the other matures. Once the compartment being filled can take no more, the mature compost is emptied from the other compartment, and the cycle begins again.

Rodent Proof

The JK 270 is sited off the ground so there is no possibility of rodents or other pests gaining access to the waste in the machine.

Technical Specifications

The JK270 is made of galvanized sheet metal for many years of rust protection!
