CFT Systems

Continuous Flow Through Vermicomposting
Parts To Build Your Own CFT

You Are getting more than Just a Worm Bin

When you buy a Wormgear CFT, you’re getting a complete package – carefully packed components, detailed assembly instructions, operating guidelines, and unlimited technical support.

Wormgear’s continuous flow through worm bin is one of the most advanced systems in the global vermicomposting market.

Your success is important to us and we want to be a part of it with you.

Let’s get your cFT worm bin right the first time.

Continuous flow vermicomposting systems must endure the stresses of weight, moisture and cutting resistance – conditions which quickly degrade do-it-yourself CFTs and the competitors systems.

If your CFT fails, you pay three times.

Once for the cost of emptying tons of vermicompost from your system. Another time for the cost of repair. And yet another time for the lost revenue in the following weeks while you restart your system.

Do it right from the start.

See what a system from Wormgear can do for you, and give yourself years of worry-free operation.  Contact us today to see Wormgear CFT is right for you.
