MENART STM-32 self-propelled turner is the heir of several MENART machines designed in recent decades for the lateral turning of tabular heaps in order to optimise the space required on a composting platform.
In contrast to conventional straddle turners designed for windrows, the side discharge turners allow to process tabular piles, higher than the windrows, and without space between the windrows. This reduces the surface area of the composting platform and thus minimizes civil works investment.
The STM-32 is a direct descendant of the 1032-MTRA on which some improvements have been added.
CABIN
MENART chooses its cabin suppliers with the greatest care. The cabins are modern, ergonomic and comfortable. Standard equipment includes: adjustable ergonomic seat, interior temperature control (air conditioning and heating), anti-toxic gas pressurization, gas filters, smoke filter, windshield wipers, exterior lighting for working in the dark, etc.
The cabin is designed and fixed to enjoy a perfect visibility in all directions.
The engine compartment is at the rear of the machine and well insulated to avoid noise, heat and smoke for the operator.
ROTOR (DRUMS)
The STM-32 turner is equipped with 2 conical rotors. Each one equipped with several paddles and external disc with blades. They attack the pile aggressively, and they project the matter backwards. The compost is collected on a large belt conveyor, ensuring the side transfer of the matter and reconstituting a new heap away.
HIGHLIGHTS
The aeration and mix are excellent
Simple mechanics, no breakdown.
Rotor with paddles. Compare to elevating face technology, maintenance is made easier, quicker and more affordable.
Clean cut. Thanks to the rotor cage angle, there is no avalanche risk.
