X150 Compost Extractor
FEATURES
Our X150 Compost Extractor uses water jets to efficiently dislodge beneficial microorganisms from compost. Compost is loaded into the hopper, which is equipped with a water agitation system that breaks static friction along its edges, dislodging material and promoting an uninterrupted flow.
An auger transports the compost into the extraction chamber, where water jets placed strategically along the auger rinse the material. A booster pump ensures sufficient water pressure is applied to extract microbial communities without damaging them. A cylindrical sieve encases the auger and water jet system, and microbes are rinsed through the screen into the catch basin. The sieve is easily interchangeable, allowing for the use of different mesh screens to achieve various levels of filtration and sediment load.
By adjusting the auger speed, operators can fine-tune the concentration of the extract, since water flow rate is constant. This allows precise control over extract dilution and a consistent final product.
Key Features
- Produces up to 500 gallons of extract per hour
- Patent pending stepped auger design prevents overloading extraction chamber for dependable operation
- Allows easy and precise control of extract concentration
- Manual auger operation allows off-grid operation if water pressure is sufficient
- Water agitation prevents bridging in the hopper
- Choice of bench mount stationary stand or cart
- Optional extraction booster pump and transfer pump. (The booster pump is recommended if water pressure is less than 40 psi.)

SO easy to clean
by Krisi Olivero, Alter Eco Farm
We've had our X150 Extractor for about three weeks now, and it has been a complete game changer for us. Our extract times are at a true fraction of what they were, allowing us to spend more time focusing on the quality of our products. The customer service has been impeccable. They have answered every question we had and have even brainstormed use ideas with us. Also, this thing is SO much easier to clean than a cone brewer. Thank you so much Hiwassee Products team! We are so grateful to your engineering!
Easy and effective!

I purchased one of these machines this Spring and have already made about 1000 gallons of extract with it. It is extremely easy to use and to clean!
The extractor clearly works effectively, as we analyzed our extract under a microscope and found it teeming with life. It appears to do a better job of extracting microbes than other methods I have tried for years.
