Low resource consumption, no emissions
Thanks to its electric drive, the eTurner E380 is very resource-efficient. “We have determined an average consumption of less than three litres in practical tests. Conventional diesel engines, on the other hand, consume up to 15 litres per hour,” explains Jens Wiechmann. Moreover, the turner does not emit any significant greenhouse gas emissions. The noise level is reduced to a minimum thanks to electrification; the eTurner E30 is up to five times quieter than a machine powered by a diesel engine. With a length of around 4 metres and a width of 2.5 metres, the windrow turner is easy to transport.
Further market launches planned for 2023 and 2024
For JT RecTec, the eTurner E380 is the first step for a comprehensive machine portfolio. The Velbert-based company is currently working together with Doppstadt on the development of two compost turners for larger material quantities. The presentation of the first prototypes is planned for fall 2023. A larger version of the eTurner is also to follow at the end of the year. “In 30 years, we have acquired comprehensive expertise in mechanical engineering and sales in the field of turner technology. We want to revolutionise the industry with our ideas and concepts. We are now implementing this plan step by step,” emphasises Jens Wiechmann.
We see the turner for windrow composting as more than just a machine. With proper use and with the right tools on board, it ensures process-optimized treatment and produces top quality
products.
- Gentle treatment of the process material thanks to the latest rotor generation
- The innovative rotor configuration significantly reduces unwanted shredding of impurities
- and thanks to speed reduction provides up to 30% fuel savings with increasing turning capacity
- Savings in wear costs
- Savings in maintenance costs
- Complete process control thanks to pre-installed operating modes
