BACKHUS

Built for Better Compost

BACKHUS® self-propelled windrow turners do more than turn material. They homogenize and aerate windrows to build pile structure that promotes hydration, distributes moisture evenly, and creates the ideal environment for microbial activity. The result is faster composting, lower operating costs, and higher-quality output.

BACKHUS turners serve organics recyclers of every size and scale, from large commercial composting facilities and municipal sites to farm-based manure operations. With models ranging from the compact A30 to the A75, one of the largest windrow turners available, there is a BACKHUS built for your operation.

Toe-to-toe windrow placement maximizes available space, while the horizontal auger-style processing drum accelerates throughput. Paired with features designed to simplify daily operation and reduce maintenance demands, BACKHUS turners are a proven choice for operations focused on producing more compost, more efficiently.
