OzTurners range of compost turners

SFI has assessed that the compost turners produced by OzTurners:
•    mix the compost thoroughly, increasing the levels of dissolved oxygen and decreasing the levels of carbon dioxide (produced by microorganisms in the compost)
•    are able to water evenly
•    do not miss any part of the pile (especially at ground level)
•    mix thoroughly (outside surfaces to inside) without pulverising


OzTurners’ owner, Dale Beck, comes from a farming family (poultry) in South Australia.  He has 15 years experience with farm machinery and 7 years with selling and manufacturing compost turners.

OzTurners produce three sizes of compost turner.  The units are Australian made and use Australian supplied parts.  The emphasis is on build quality, reliability and ease of on-farm maintenance.  A lot of attention has been given to ensuring that potential rust spots are avoided, areas where compost may build up are eliminated (all tube ends are sealed) and dual hydraulic rams are used to prevent sagging over time. 

When you contact OzTuners, you get to speak with the manufacturer directly.  Dale personally delivers each machine and ensures that it is set up appropriately for the customer.  OzTurners values feedback from customers and many of their comments have resulted in product improvements.
