Overview

The Jora JK400 Composter simplifies and speeds up the process of making compost. It is a 'continuous-use' dual chamber composter. Dual chambers allow you to keep adding new materials to one compartment while the other matures. Because the unit is insulated and sealed, it converts kitchen waste to compost in as little as two weeks.

With a capacity of 14.2 cubic feet, the Jora JK400 can easily handle large quantities of kitchen scraps and garden waste. Suitable for larger households, restaurants, schools, or shared use between multiple families.

• 'Continuous-use' dual chamber composter

*Please note, to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Jora, we highly recommend keeping it undercover and protected from direct exposure to rain. While these tumblers are built to withstand the elements, prolonged exposure to moisture can accelerate the onset of rust and potentially shorten the lifespan of the unit. Storing your tumbler in a sheltered area, such as a covered patio or shed, will help maintain its integrity.

Dual Compartments

The JK400 is divided into two large compartments, so one side can be filled while the other side's compost matures. Once the compartment being filled can take no more, the mature compost can be emptied from the other compartment, and the cycle begins again. You can use the composter continuously, with no waiting between batches.

Insulation

The composting process generates heat, and different microorganisms work at different temperatures. The HDPE insulation in the JK400 composter allows the temperature to rise higher than 160F resulting in faster and more efficient processing of your organic 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 pests. With its superior insulation, the JK400 Composter will continue working through winter, long after other composters have stopped completely.

Rotating Compost

• Easy to rotate - simply turn by hand after adding waste
• Fresh waste is brought into direct contact with decaying waste
• Adds air to the mixture, providing oxygen vital for microbial activity

What can be composted?

• Raw and cooked food scraps (e.g. vegetables, fruit, eggshells, meat, fish, bread)
• Garden waste (e.g. flower cuttings, leaves, weeds, grass clippings)
• Shredded paper and cardboard (e.g. egg cartons)
• Light pet waste (e.g. rabbit or hamster bedding)

The JK400 Composter will accept organic household waste or anything biodegradable. After adding waste, it will take about 6 to 8 weeks for each chamber to produce compost. Once both chambers are in operation you should be emptying one chamber every 3 to 4 weeks.

Rodent Proof

The Jora JK270 Composter is sited off the ground so there is no possibility of rodents or other pests gaining access to the waste in the composter.

Construction:

• Exterior: galvanized, powder-coated steel panels
• Insulation: 2.16" HDPE polyethylene - a stable, non-toxic plastic
• Stand: galvanized steel
• Stainless steel hardware

*Please note, assembly requires at least two people. Due to the nature of the insulation and steel panels, assembling your Jora can be difficult.
