JORA composters have been tested and evaluated in a project comprising 466 households in small houses, blocks of flats and day nurseries in Sweden. In a JORA composter it is very easy to compost all your kitchen food waste including meat and fish. Not many composters can do that.
The key to success is rotation
Mixing is necessary for making a compost to work well. Both for making the fresh waste coming into contact with that already mouldered, thereby rendering the process more effective, and in order to add air, necessary for the high demand for oxygen of the process.This is done in a very simple way because the JORA composters are constructed for easy rotation. Furthermore it is very easy to adjust the air supply to suit the quantity of waste by aid of ventilators in the side walls of the machine. Insufficient airing makes a compost smell bad.

JK 125/270/400 - heat and efficiency
Breaking down of compost generates heat. Different micro-organisms start working at different temperatures. JORA composter is well insulated and it allows the temperature to rise to as high as +75 degrees centigrade at maximum breaking down. Without insulation it may not be possible to reach such a high temperature, which in turn means that micro-organisms demanding high temperatures for their activity will never start working. Using an insulated, rotating compost bin you get a more even heat distribution and an active breaking down process in the entire volume. That is why composting is made rapid; approximately 6-8 weeks time. The high composting temperature makes the JORA composters especially suited for kitchen waste both cooked and uncooked, including meat and fish scraps.
Two compartments for maximum result
JK 125/270/400 is divided into two compartments to make emptying and bringing to maturity easier. It also means that your kitchen waste could be added every day, but still be able to mature for 6-8 weeks after the last batch was put in.
The smaller composters JK125/270 is suitable for houses (villas) and daycare centers. Just put the material in, add the carbon additives. Close the lid and turn it around. As simple as that.
