Our Commitment
Constant Development
Joraform is a company under constant development. It all began in 1990 with our rotating compost bin for single-family households.
We were the first company that presented the idea of a rotating compost bin and we have continued to develop it. Today we can provide solutions for composting the domestic waste of up to several hundreds of households.
Our fully automatic large compost machines have a capacity of up to 700 litres /week. The large compost machines are equipped with a shredder, which is necessary for effective and rational composting. The system consists of two chambers which let the post-composting take place inside the bin, which in turn means that the compost mould is ready to be used immediately after emptying and is therefore an attractive product for the end-users.
JK 5100 is a modern generation of compost machines for multi-family households, institutional kitchens and schools. The compost vessels are mainly made by stainless steel. Our products stand in comparison at all levels; convenience, quality and service.

The key to success is rotation
Mixing is necessary for making a compost to work well. Both for making the fresh waste coming into contact with that already mouldered, thereby rendering the process more effective, and in order to add air, necessary for the high demand for oxygen of the process.
This is done in a very simple way because the JORA composters are constructed for easy rotation. Furthermore it is very easy to adjust the air supply to suit the quantity of waste by aid of ventilators in the side walls of the machine. Insufficient airing makes a compost smell bad.
JK 125/270/400 – heat and efficiency
Breaking down of a compost generates heat. Different microorganisms start working at different temperatures. Our composters is well insulated and allows the temperature to rise to as high as +75 degrees centigrade at maximum breaking down. Without insulation it may not be possible to reach such a high temperature, which in turn means that microorganisms demanding high temperatures for their activity will never start working.
Using an insulated, rotating compost you get a more even heat distribution and an active breaking down process in the entire volume. That is why composting is made rapid; approximately 6-8 weeks time. The high composting temperature makes the JORA composters especially suited for kitchen waste.
Two compartments, for maximum result
JK 125/270/400 is divided into two compartments to make emptying and bringing to maturity easier. It also means that your kitchen waste could be added every day, but still be able to mature for 6-8 weeks after the last batch was put in.
