ABSTRACT:
A machine and method are disclosed whereby a deep continuous layer of waste material in a large field can be processed into compost without prearranging the material in windrows. Up to four times as much material in a given area can be treated compared to windrowed material. The machine forms an initial pathway through the deep layer of material by following one boundary of the material with the material treating mechanism and supporting tunnel frame set at an oblique angle to the pathway and the tracking wheels set at acute angles to the tunnel axis. The material undergoing treatment is continuously discharged rearwardly at an oblique angle. At the end of the initial pathway, the machine is turned and adjusted to a second operational mode and moved in a reverse direction along a second pathway contiguous with the initial pathway. The material along the second pathway is treated and continuously discharged rearwardly at an oblique angle into the initial pathway to fill in the same. The method is continued until the entire continuous layer of material is treated without disturbing its continuity.
