Tunnel Emptying Winch
The GTL tunnel emptying winch is designed to quickly, efficiently, and fully automatically remove compost from composting tunnels. Using a pulling net, the compost is extracted from the tunnel, loosened by powerful rotating spades, and conveyed via a screw to the discharge conveyor. This conveyor then transports the compost to the next machine, such as the GTL cascade conveyor.
Thanks to its robust stainless steel construction and precisely PLC-controlled winch mechanism, the tunnel emptying winch ensures reliable operation, even in tunnels up to 44 meters long. The system reduces labor intensity, speeds up the process, and integrates seamlessly into modern composting facilities.
