摘要： A composting system including a vertically-orientated vessel with mechanisms attached to a vertically oriented central mounted rotating shaft, including rotatable size reduction blade(s), agitation mechanism(s), and discharge blade/mechanism(s). The composting system includes internal size reduction mechanism for reducing the size of material introduced to the vessel. The composting system includes a loading hatch, a discharge hatch, and a source of air to maintain aerobic conditions within the vessel. In use, material introduced moves from the upper region of the vessel gravitationally and via agitation through a zone of size reduction to the lower region of the vessel. Process conditions within the vessel are controlled by an operator and via electronic control mechanism, which can monitor operating conditions such as temperature and loading rate (for example), to manage air injection, mechanical agitation and size reduction such that composting proceeds efficiently and at an optimal rate.

摘要： A composting system including a vertically-orientated vessel with a range of mechanisms attached to a vertically oriented central mounted rotating shaft, including rotatable size reduction blade(s), agitation mechanism(s), and discharge blade/mechanism(s). The composting system includes internal size reduction mechanism for reducing the size of waste and/or organic material introduced to the vessel. The composting system includes a loading hatch through which material may be introduced into the vessel, a discharge hatch through which material may be removed from the lower region of the vessel, and a source of air to maintain aerobic conditions within said vessel. When the apparatus is in use, material introduced to the vessel moves from the upper region of the vessel gravitationally and via agitation through a zone of size reduction to the lower region of the vessel. Process conditions within the vessel are controlled via intervention by an operator and via electronic control mechanism, which can monitor operating conditions such as temperature and loading rate (for example), to manage air injection, mechanical agitation and size reduction such that composting proceeds efficiently and at an optimal rate.

摘要： An automated harvesting system for crustaceans comprising: (a) baskets (10) to individually house each crustacean and operationally complementary trays (17) to support one or more of these baskets (10) (b) harvesting means for harvesting each crustacean (c) monitoring means (33) for monitoring the moulting stage of each crustacean, the means including (i) an automated robotic camera adapted to periodically take images of a crustacean in its basket (10) (ii) a processor with software which can receive and analyze the images to determine whether a crustacean has moulted, where a moulted crustacean is indicated by the presence of two bodies in a basket (10), the processor also providing instructions to the harvesting means to remove a moulted crustacean from its basket (10).
