Deep Clamp Process

DEEP CLAMP COMPOSTING - OUTLINE OF THE PHYSICAL PROCESS

1. Only source-separated material of benefit to the soil is used.

2. The site will operate with a permission from the Environmental Permitting Regulations registered with the Environment Agency.

3. Land Network has invested considerable research into how the heap is put together so as to prevent leachate. Therefore there will be little or no leachate from a Land Network supervised clamp.

4. Larger materials will need chipping or shredding. The heap is turned using only farm machines to control heat and progress the reaction.

5. Most compost made from municipal-sourced green waste will not be very good if composted on its own. We therefore take some trouble to find other wastes or make specific additions to balance up the material. We are aiming at reducing and eliminating the use of mineral fertilisers.

6. 100% of the material we accept will be spread to the land occupied by the composting farmer and incorporated when there is a crop window. It may also be spread on grass, maybe behind a silage cut. The material is almost completely odourless on maturity and spreading.

7. None of the sites listed on our map have ever been closed down by the authorities, for any reason, including odour.

LAND NETWORK use the Deep Clamp Process to act as the first stage in the
bio-processing chain which feeds pasteurised material safely into the soil.
LAND NETWORK’S Deep Clamp Processing is safe, effective and economic. We can show you how and why this is so.
