Everything around the composter.
Shred, mix and load the material, then cure and store the finished compost. Each piece works with the Brome Composter, on its own or as part of a complete system.
Prepare
Get the material ready before it goes into the drum.
Shredder
Breaks stems, root balls and other fibrous plant waste into smaller pieces before composting.
- Reduces the volume of plant waste
- More surface for the microorganisms, so composting is faster and more effective
- Takes potted plants with their growing media, when it is organic and compostable
- Destroys and denatures plant waste, as licensed cannabis producers must by regulation
Mixer
A vertical mixer blends and breaks down the material before it goes into the composter. Patz vertical mixers are designed to work with the BROME system.
- Smaller, more even particles make the carbon easier for microorganisms to reach
- Speeds up composting and improves the finished compost
- Built-in scale to control your recipes and keep records
- Door location, capacity, scale display and drive can be configured
Load
Bring the mix to the composter with less handling.
Bin lift
A hydraulic lift empties rolling bins and totes straight into the composter.
- Faster loading, with less labour
- Easier to add feedstock
- Little to no maintenance
- Several models and configurations
Tipping bin
Store organic matter, then tip it into the composter with a forklift. The same bin collects finished compost at the outlet.
- Effective tipping system
- Optional bolt-on wheels
- Solid fork pockets for safe lifting
- Stackable, to save on shipping and storage
Conveyor
Automates moving material into the composter, and finished compost out to the curing area.
- At the inlet, it feeds the composter
- At the outlet, it carries compost to the curing bays
- Works on its own or as part of a BROME system
- Custom conveyors on request
Cure & store
Let the compost mature, then store, ship or sell it.
Bulk storage bags
Flexible bags placed at the composter outlet, to cure the compost or store it for the medium term.
- Affordable
- A convenient format to ship or sell compost
- Medium-term storage
- Lets the compost finish curing
Bags are moved with a pallet truck or forklift. Setting them on pallets makes handling easier.

- Optional anchoring system
Around the system
Options that adapt the system to its site.
Odour management
Two ways to treat the air that comes out of the composter.
Considerably reduces odours and vapours. Low maintenance. May need a fume hood to capture the air.
Built from wood chips and mature compost, connected to the fume hood on the composter. Efficient and affordable; needs regular maintenance.
Container-housed system
BROME equipment pre-assembled inside adapted shipping containers: a plug-and-play composting site, built for northern and remote locations.
- Fast installation with minimal site preparation
- No building to pay for
- Weather resistant, with good working conditions for operators
- Options: electrical connection, ventilation, insulation, heating, office space, custom doors, windows and hydraulic openings
- Several containers can be connected for larger systems
See it in use in northern communities.
