Extension of composter K 170 (product code 811170101)

Product specifications

• Width: 131 cm
• Length: 131 cm
• Height: 100 cm
• Sheet thickness: 1.5 mm (corner posts and bars)
• Hot-dip galvanized steel
• Weight: 44 kg
• Volume: 1,716 L

All bars can be assembled and disassembled without any tools – the bars are simply slid into the corner posts. The top and bottom bars are not mounted with screws and nuts as in the K 70 composter. Thanks to the clever design, harvesting mature compost is very easy – by sliding the bottom bars out of the locks, an opening is created through which the compost can be easily removed. The compost is accessible from all sides.

• Extended 10-year quality warranty.

Warning

Attention: The K 170-R is an extension module for the K 170 composter. The extension module is supplied without bars at one side. The delivery also includes a rubber edge trim and a plastic plug (see photo gallery). 

The photo gallery also contains illustrative images of other sizes (see composter from our range) – for a better understanding of the composter’s usability.

Product Description

1. Long-lasting durability and shape retention

a) The advantages of metal composters are especially noticeable in winter, as they are not prone to damage — unlike plastic compost bins, which become brittle at low temperatures and risk breaking.

b) Metal composters do not require UV protection, making them much more resistant to sunlight. Some cheap plastic bins lack sufficient UV protection and, over time, become brittle and start to break down due to sun exposure.

2. Easy assembly and disassembly

The composters can be easily assembled and disassembled thanks to their simple locking system. Extracting mature compost is also very easy due to the clever design. The composters do not have doors or lids; by sliding the crossbars out of the locks, an opening is created for simple compost removal. The compost is accessible from all sides

3. Composting of wet organic materials 

Thanks to the ventilation gaps throughout the entire structure, the compost bins are especially suitable for composting wet materials such as grass, leaves, and similar organic matter.

4. Ecology and Environmental Friendliness

Thanks to their long lifespan, our compost bins are environmentally friendly – over the lifetime of a single metal composter (several decades), you would need to replace multiple plastic bins.

5. Modularity 

The advantage of metal composters is that they can be arranged in a row. If your current bin is too small, you can expand it using an extension module. This solution is particularly useful if you have a large amount of material to compost. The extension is also helpful when the top layer of compost is not fully decomposed yet, allowing you to transfer the unfinished compost into the empty section of the composter.
