Apparatus and system for treating organic mass

An apparatus for treating organic mass within a period of time of less than 24 hours with the treated organic mass has a nitrogen-phosphorous-potassium (NPK) value of at least 6, the apparatus comprising:

• a chamber configured to contain a mixture of organic mass and one or more micro-organisms selected to degrade the organic mass wherein the chamber includes:
• a U-shaped container having a curved bottom, and
• an inlet opening on a top side of the U-shaped container for inserting the organic mass and one or more micro-organisms into the U-shaped container;
• and
• an agitator provided in the chamber to agitate the mixture, the agitator comprising:
• a rotatable shaft extending through a central bore of the chamber,
• a plurality of agitator arms extending outward from the rotatable shaft, wherein the plurality of agitator arms are arranged in a plurality of longitudinal rows running along the longitudinal axis of the rotatable shaft such that at least two agitator arms are provided along each of said longitudinal rows, and
• a plurality of paddles wherein each of the plurality of paddles is connected to one of the plurality of agitator arms, each of the plurality of paddles being arranged to make a first angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the connected agitator arm within a range of about 70° to about 110°, and arranged at a second angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the rotatable shaft,
• wherein each paddle disposed on a different agitator arm along the same longitudinal row of the shaft are arranged at a different second angle, and
• a portion of a plurality of combined paddles and agitator arms are arranged such that the paddles of the portion are proximal an inner wall of the U-shaped contained and prevent spillage of the mixture through the inlet opening.
