***NEW MODEL WITH TWIN DOORS!*** Capacity: 70 gallons or 9.5 cubic feet. The Jora JK270 Composter lets you make perfect compost from your kitchen waste hygienically and quickly, with the minimum of fuss and mess. And, with a capacity of 9.5 cubic feet, it will easily handle the composting of kitchen scraps and general yard and garden clippings for a family of four. Technical Specifications: • Dimensions: 44"x28" footprint, overall height 52" • Weight: 86lbs empty, 560lbs (approx.) full • Operating Capacity: 63 pints or 34lbs per week • Insulation: HDPE (will not leach) • Exterior: powder-coated steel panels and galvanized steel legs (rust proof) • Clips and screws are stainless steel Features: • Ease of rotation • Insulating properties • Dual compartments • Rodent-proof design • Sturdy design Rotation is important because: • 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 waste is put in. Insulation: 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 160F (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 Composter 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 JK270 is sited off the ground so there is no possibility of rodents or other pests gaining access to the waste in the machine. What can be composted? The JK270 composter will accept all organic waste generated by a regular household: • raw and cooked food scraps - vegetable, meat or fish • cardboard, e.g. egg trays • garden waste (except hard, woody stems and branches) In fact, anything biodegradable - even some pet waste, e.g. your rabbit or hamster bedding, but we don't recommend dog waste. Of course, if you add too much yard waste you will run out of room for your household compost scraps. It will take about 6 to 8 weeks for each chamber from starting to fill to production of compost - so once both chambers are in operation you should be emptying one chamber every 3-4 weeks or so.
