    Omega Organics offers seven different models/sizes of rotary drum digesters, depending on the waste management need.

    Digester composting is an aerobic process conducted inside a closed vessel that rotates to continually mix and blend the materials. An internal temperature of up to 170 degrees F / 77 degrees C is maintained inside the vessel. This hastens the rate of composting while killing all pathogenic substances and weed seeds. Rotation and blending ensure that all the raw substances are converted into an organic compost within a period of three days. The material may then be “finished” outside the vessel for up to twenty-one days depending on the end use, and then screened, resulting in an odorless, pathogen free, weed seed free organic humus.

    The Omega digester eliminates agricultural waste on a year-round basis by converting raw waste into organic material that can be applied to the fields without worry of groundwater contamination, and can be utilized for bedding material for livestock. In addition, the material can be used as a growing medium for nursery stock, and as a natural fertilizer. The technology not only reduces the mass of the waste materials resulting in less storage requirements, but it also stabilizes the material for transportation from field to field, or farm to farm.
