Swedish Insulated Rotational Dual Chamber Tumbler - 70 GAL
Designed and tested in the cold north of Sweden, this advanced rotational tumbler is heavily insulated so that the internal temperatures can reach 160˚F - promoting enhanced microbial activity for faster breakdown. Two compartments (each with their own handled access doors) allow for continuous composting – fill one side up and let in cook, while adding food scraps to the other side. Sturdy metal ground stand elevates drum to a comfortable height for more convenient loading of food scraps and emptying of finished compost. When the first chamber is fully decomposed in as little as 8 weeks, empty the mature side and repeat the process. Highly recommended by staff for the colder latitudes but will work effectively in all climate zones.
This item is OUT OF STOCK until JUNE. Any orders that are placed will be automatically shipped as soon as they arrive in the GA warehouse.

- Two (2) separate compartments with varying ages of decomposition allow for continuous composting
- Drum style compost tumbler rotates horizontally along a central axis – helping to evenly distribute materials throughout chambers
- Superior insulation allows internal temps to reach 160˚F, promoting active microbial activity – even in the dead of winter
- Two hatch-style access doors with handles for convenient loading and unloading
- Developed for food scraps but will also accept small amounts of soft yard waste, space permitting
- Adjustable side vents provide fresh air and help minimize foul odor – can be closed temporarily during the coldest months to retain internally generated heat
- Sturdy metal stand elevates tumbler off ground, reducing the possibility of entry by rodents and other critters
- Detailed instructions provided with each system
- Activation of pile is accelerated by the addition of fresh manure or living compost from an active pile
- Chamber is considered functionally full when less than 4 inches of open space remains at the top
- Chopping up the waste before adding it to the unit will greatly reduce the decomposition time
- Use sawdust, shredded cardboard or coir to absorb excess moisture, and structure to finish compost, and provide a carbon source to help balance out the high nitrogen food waste
- Rotate unit 1-2 turns with each addition of new waste. For excessively moist piles, rotate more frequently
- Keep out soup, sauces, milk and other liquids
