Wholearth Organic Composting
I have been been using SCARAB compost machines for the last 17 years. I process approximately 200 tons of material per day. The SCARAB has proved to be of the utmost reliability, and my business depends on it’s reliability. American made with American parts, along with great parts manager, well, it doesn’t get any better.

Mark, over the last week, as you know, we have been under extreme pressure to repair one of your manufactured SCARAB machines. As owner of SCARAB, I feel you should be aware of how your team reacted to our issues. I can’t say enough good things about Kovette.
Brad D.
SCARAB produces a very well constructed machine made for longevity and productivity. We are able to reduce our material processing time in half with the implementation of the SCARAB. The team at SCARAB has been a pleasure to work with from the owners to the salesman.
