Definitions

  • This invention relates to an automated worm line, a method for the production of worms and worm compost, and the resulting packaged products - worms and worm compost.
  • Worm compost is the product of the composting process using various species of worms, usually red wigglers, white worms, and other earthworms, to create a mixture of decomposing vegetable or food waste, bedding materials, and wormcast (vermicast).
  • Vermicast also called worm castings, worm humus, worm manure, or worm faeces
  • Vermicast is the end-product of the breakdown of organic matter by earthworms. These castings have been shown to contain reduced levels of contaminants and a higher saturation of nutrients than the organic materials before vermicomposting.
  • Vermicompost contains water-soluble nutrients and is an excellent, nutrient-rich organic fertilizer and soil conditioner. It is used in farming and small scale sustainable, organic farming.
  • large scale is meant a system capable of producing at least 1000Kg of worms per month, more preferably one capable of producing 10,000 Kg of worm per month or more. Such a system will consume at least 10,000 Kg of organic material per month, more preferably at least 100,000Kg of organic material per month.
  • the production process may be a batch process, a semi-continuous process or a continuous process. Most preferably the process is a continuous process.
  • Suitable worm species most often used for composting include the red wiggler or tiger worm (Eisenia fetida or Eisenia andrei); red earthworm (Lumbricus rubellus),and European nightcrawlers (Eisenia hortensis), which are also referred to as Dendrobaenas or Dendras.
  • the vermicompost may be used for farming, landscaping, or for sale. Some of these operations produce worms for bait and/or home vermicomposting.
  • a windrow which consists of bedding materials for the earthworms to live in and acts as a large bin; organic material is added to it. Although the windrow has no physical barriers to prevent worms from escaping, in theory they should not, due to an abundance of organic matter for them to feed on. Often windrows are used on a concrete surface to prevent predators from gaining access to the worm population.
  • the windrow method and compost windrow turners were developed by Fletcher Sims Jr. of the Compost Corporation in Canyon, Texas.
  • the Windrow Composting system is noted as a sustainable, cost-efficient way for farmers to manage dairy waste.
  • the second type of large-scale vermicomposting system is the raised bed or flow through system.
  • the worms are fed an inch (approx’ 2 cm) of "worm chow" across the top of the bed, and an inch (approx’ 2 cm) of castings are harvested from below by pulling a breaker bar across a large mesh screen which forms the base of the bed.
  • Applicant has developed a worm line, akin to a manufacturing production or assembly line, and a method of operation for the conversion of organic waste into commercial product - worm compost and worms.
  • an automated worm line comprising:
  • one or more organic material conveyors for feeding organic material to empty containers to fill them with a defined amount, by weight or volume, of organic material
  • a worm filling station vi. one or more worm conveyors, for conveying worms to an organic material filled container to fill them with a defined amount, by weight or volume, of working worms;
  • a transfer station for transferring organic material filled containers from the worm line
  • containers are stored to for a time sufficient for the working worms to work the organic material before being transferred back onto the worm line;
  • xi. one or more compost conveyors for conveying the emptied worms and worm compost from the container emptying station to the separating station; xii. a worm collecting station;
  • xiv. one or more worm compost conveyors to convey the worm compost for collecting.
  • the worm line further comprising
  • an additive filling station where organic material enhancing additives and/ or worm nutrients may be introduced to the organic material filled container in defined amounts.
  • Suitable additive will depend on the organic materials but will typically include the addition of one or more of minerals, a source of nitrates, phosphates, and / or calcium, phyto-hormones and the use of pH control agents.
  • the separating station may perform a number of separations. Firstly, it separates the worms from the worm compost. Secondly it may, optionally, separate the worm compost into two fractions: 1) worm compost containing a high proportion of worm eggs and cocoons (those which fall through fine apertures in the separator) and 2) worm compost which contains a low proportion of worm eggs and cocoons i.e. is considered largely free of worm eggs and cocoons. These different products may be recombined if desired. Thirdly, the worms are separated into worms for harvesting (which are collected, for example bagged or otherwise packaged) and working worms, which are sent back around the system. [0018] In accordance with of a second aspect the present inventions there is provided a method for the automated manufacture of worm compost and worms on a worm line comprising:
  • compost conveyors to a separating station where worms are separated from compost and working worms are separated from worms for harvesting; h. worms for harvesting are collected at worm collecting station;
  • j. worm compost is conveyed along one or more worm compost conveyors to worm compost collecting station for collecting.

  • the containers comprise members and / or apertures allowing them to be picked up, singularly or in multiples, for example in fours, mechanically.
  • the containers comprise a plurality of supports, internal of their perimeter wall, allowing containers to be stacked in a mating arrangement one on top of another.
  • a robotic arm is used to move containers from the container station to the one or more container conveyors.
  • the containers are stacked on pallets and the containers and pallets are conveyed to the container station along a track.
  • the organic material is broken by tines on a rotating spindle, with variable height settings, which break up the organic material as it is conveyed from the station onto one or more organic material conveyors.
  • the one or more organic material conveyors is/ are positioned above the one or more container conveyors.
  • Such an arrangement allows the use of gravity to fill the containers with a defined amount of organic material from the one or more organic material conveyors.
  • the defined amount of organic material is weighed, and more preferably the container is filled with between 9Kg to 15Kg, preferably 12Kg of organic material.
  • step c) the working worms are deposited into the organic material filled container by gravity, in a defined amount by mass, wherein the one or more worm conveyor is positioned over and above the container conveyor.
  • the one or more worm conveyor is positioned over and above the container conveyor.
  • step d) takes place, defined amounts of, respectively, organic material enhancing additives and / or worm nutrients are introduced from one or more additive filing station(s).
  • organic material enhancing additives and / or worm nutrients will depend on the organic material and worm genus/ species but will typically include minerals and pH adjusters.
  • organic material conditioning agents may be added/ mixed with organic material before it is fed into the organic material station.

  • the transfer station comprises a robotic arm capable of moving the organic material filled containers onto pallets on track to facilitate their movement to a storage station.
  • step e) the organic material filed containers are left for a period of between 18 and 30 days, preferably about 24 days, preferably under conditions of controlled temperature and humidity.
  • the worm line and methodology are controlled from a management centre comprising a computer which monitors and controls a wide range of parameters including temperature, humidity, and time as well as the apparatus at the various stations and the conveyors.
  • Smart sensors may be included in the containers and along the worm line to facilitate the effective management of conditions and to optimise the timing of events.
  • the preferred temperature is maintained between 15°C and 25°C, most preferably about 20°C, and the preferred humidity is maintained between 55% and 85%, most preferably about 70%.
  • step f) filled containers are brought from the storage station on pallets to the track on fork lift trucks where they are conveyed to container station and placed onto the container conveyor.
  • the container conveyor conveys the filled containers to the emptying station where the worm compost and worms are tipped from the container onto the compost conveyor there below and the empty containers are redirected to either the container station or a tray holding and/ or wash station.
  • a preferred way uses a first cradle, comprising a pair of arms, which picks up and pivots the container through 180 degrees and places it over an opening where it deposits its load from where it is moved to a second cradle comprising a pair of arms which picks up and pivots the container back through 180 degrees and places it back on the conveyor the right way up.
  • the separating station comprises a rotating, substantially cylindrical, chamber, and a frusto-conical collar member.

  • the apertures increase in size from the organic material receiving end towards the collar member. In a preferred embodiment the apertures range in diameter between 3 to 6 mm. This has the advantage that worm eggs and cocoons are effectively separated from the worm compost and worms which are subsequently separated as they exit the device at the collar member.
  • the collar member has a spray associated therewith to ensure the worms to be separated are kept moist.
  • the compost As the worms and compost fall from the collar member onto an upwardly inclined conveyor there below the compost is separated by gravity (it falls from the upwardly inclined conveyor onto a conveyor below which takes it to the compost collecting station) whereas the worms are conveyed upwardly onto a further conveyor, from where they can either be conveyed (step h) for collecting or (step i) returned to the worm filling station as working worms, by way of the conveyors selected direction of travel.
  • the worm line, and methodology gives rise to two products - worms and worm compost, the latter of which can comprise a relatively high or relatively low proportion of eggs and cocoons compared to“un-sieved” compost entering the separator.
