SUN-MAR Garden Composter 400
The 400 Model is considerably bigger than the 200, but otherwise it works on the same principles. The 400 is designed for composting kitchen scraps and a cut up materials from a small residential garden. The unit’s drum can hold approximately 11 bushels (100 gallons) of compost material.

Autoflow Technology on the SUN-MAR 400
The diagram shows how material (such as kitchen scraps, yard & garden trimmings) moves into and along the outer drum. A scoop on the inner drum (not shown) collects material and pushes it along the inner drum, exiting through the output port.

Specifications

• Drum Volume: 366 Liters (approx: 11 bushel or 100 gallon)
• Height: 36″
• Depth: 28″
• Overall Length: 42″
• Product weight: 60 lbs

Operation of the 400
Material is added to the 400 by sliding the input door open. To mix and aerate the compost, rotate the drum by turning a shaft on the exterior of the unit. Compost is removed by opening the output port, rotating the drum and allowing compost to fall from the inner drum into a bushel basket or other container.

Included with the SUN-MAR 400:

• Optional Rollers – The unit has optional rollers, which can be snapped into the cradle base to make it easier to move the unit when it is on a hard surface.
• Sample of Compost Swift – a sample bottle of Compost Swift concentrate, which is a mixture of aerobic bacteria and enzymes, specifically formulated to speed the activity of aerobic bacteria in any backyard composter, and get your compost going faster.
• Spare Parts – You are unlikely to need them, but we are including 2 spare vent plugs and one spare drum cap in case you break one.
