HI-RISE LAYER MANAGERS
WE HAVE ST,R AERATOR to help with
" H "
FLY &
ODOR
CONTROL
BIG PERFORMANCE...SMALL PRICE
SIMPLE PROCEDURE: the aerator works directly into the bed of
material, forming its own windrow. Windrows can be formed from piles
of nearly any size. Alleyways are not required when using the Brown
aerator, so there is a great reduction in space requirements. The
aerator’s reverse rotation works the material from the bottom up, and to
the side, assuring complete mixing and agitation. LOW
MAINTENANCE: the aerator is a simple design, the principle as a
material mover has been proven with over 30 years experience in
practical application. The aerator is hydraulically'driven and equipped
with patented wearplates or paddles, both of which are easily replaced.
