Simple and free to run, the Ridan Pro 400 is a hot, aerobic constant throughput composter, which is capable of dealing with all types of food waste and bio-degradable green waste on-site.
Designed and built in Devon, the Ridan Pro 400 composting machine is made from weather-proof, robust materials and is covered with an insulated jacket to help retain the heat produced by the natural composting process.
Features
The Ridan Pro 400 does not require any power so can be positioned anywhere. Compost requires Nitrogen, Carbon and Oxygen to work. Nitrogen is provided by food waste, carbon by wood or cardbaord and oxygen is supplied by turning a manual, mechanical handle which introduces air into the mixture.
EasyGear Technology is Ridan’s solution to making composting as easy as possible. The mixture inside the composter requires aerating and is turned by a series of blades, but the mixture can become quite heavy when the composter is full. The EasyGear is an ingenious use of engineering technology that makes use of a cog and gear system to make turning the blades easy.
Maturation boxes
The Ridan Pro 400 takes around a week to process your food waste into compost, however, what is produced is not quite ready to be used. The material produced needs to be allowed to mature for some time before it becomes more like the type of compost we are used to buying from shops.
For the maturation process you will require maturation bins.
The Ridan Pro 900 is a maturation bin designed and built to compliment the Ridan Pro 400 composting machine. The recommended amount for the Ridan Pro 400 is 3 maturation bins.

Food Waste Composting in Schools
The Ridan Pro System 400 is popular with schools and colleges across the UK. Not only does having a food waste composter at the school boost your green credentials, it’s also a great way to teach children about the environment, the eco life-cycle and the importance of recycling.
Teach your pupils and students how quick, easy, and rewarding it is to turn their food waste into compost.
Schools already benefiting from installing a Ridan include Colyton Grammar School, Tavistock Primary School and Upminster Junior School.
“I am amazed at how well the Ridan works, how easy it is to use and how quickly it composts, as a result we now only have one bin collected every week instead of two and we have plenty of rich compost for the garden”
