title: 'CCAT compost sifter'
description: "The objective of this project is to improve CCAT's current method of sifting compost. CCAT uses a 3 bin compost system. The current sifting process is laborious and time consuming. We wanted to design a system that would be efficient, easy to use, durable, and easy to maintain while keeping the cost relatively low. We had multiple design options and decided to build a vibrating sifting screen."
