Abstract:
1. An automatic, self-contained compost device, comprising: a housing defining an air outlet port; a reactor housed within the housing for receiving composting material; a door coupled at a bottom of the reactor and configured to retain the composting material within the reactor when the door is closed and to empty the composting material from the reactor when the door is opened; a mixer housed in the reactor, the mixer being configured to mix the composting material in the reactor; a motor coupled to the mixer and configured to rotate the mixer; a cure tray housed within the housing and below the reactor for receiving compost material dropped from the reactor when the door is opened; an air flow device for controlling airflow into and within the housing; an air filter in communication with the air outlet port configured to filter air in the housing prior to the air exiting the housing; and an electronic controller for automatically controlling the motor, the door, and the air flow device wherein the door is angled downward such that a liquid byproduct from the composting material drains by gravity into an area within the cure tray.
