Fermentation Compost Turning Machines Type Comparison and Scientific Selection Guide

2025/06/05

 

Working Principle and Core Functions

Through mechanical devices that cut, scatter and reorganize the compost pile, they achieve:

· Uniform oxygen distribution to promote microbial aerobic fermentation

· Moisture and temperature regulation to avoid anaerobic conditions

· Material crushing and mixing to improve maturation uniformity

Comparative Analysis of Main Models

Type

Working Principle

Advantages

Disadvantages

Application Scenarios

Trough Turner

Track movement + spiral blade roller rotation

Large turning depth (2-3m), neat piles, high automation

Requires fermentation trough construction, high initial investment

Medium-large treatment plants (≥50 tons/day)

Track-type Self-propelled

Diesel power + hydraulic drive roller turning

Mobile, no fixed facilities needed, strong site adaptability

Shallow turning depth (1-1.5m), requires manual operation

Small-medium compost sites/livestock farms

Chain Plate Turner

Multiple chain plates circulating to lift and scatter material

High capacity, good crushing effect, low energy consumption

Complex structure, higher maintenance cost

High-fiber materials (straw/garden waste)


Four Key Selection Factors

1. Processing scale: Choose trough type for >100 tons/day; self-propelled for <30 tons/day

2. Material characteristics: Chain plate for high-fiber materials; trough type for livestock manure

3. Site conditions: Fixed facilities for trough type; open areas for self-propelled

4. Investment budget: Trough type has high initial but low operational costs; opposite for self-propelled

Operation Optimization Recommendations

· Control turning frequency: Every 2 days in summer; every 3-4 days in winter

· Maintain pile moisture at 55%-65% and temperature at 55-65°C

· Regular blade maintenance - replace when wear exceeds 30%

Proper selection of compost turners can improve fermentation efficiency by over 30%. Conduct trial runs focusing on material adaptability and energy consumption indicators to achieve optimal benefits in organic waste recycling.


Our Fermentation Compost Turning Machines

Simple Compost Turning Machine


The groove compost turning machineis one of the main supporting equipmentof the fertilizer machinery and equipmentunit. it is suitable and ideal equipment forthe harmless treatment of the animalhusbandry, urban waste and municipalsewage sludge. The machine has thecharacteristics of simple and reasonablestructure, high efficiency, low energyconsumption,high automation,smoothoperation, strong durability, and eventurning.

Hydraulic Compost Turning Machine



It is suitable for aerobic fermentation of organicwastes such as livestock and poultry manure, sludgegarbage, sugar factory filter mud, dregs cake and strawsawdust,which canbe used with solar energyfermentation chamber, fermentation groove and mobilebracket. The main engine and the mobile bracket canrealize multiple grooves operation. Widely used inorganic fertilizer plant, compound fertilizer plant, sludgewaste, gardening and other fermented raw materialsindustries.The machine has high efficiency, smoothoperation, strong durability and even turning. Equippedwith limit stroke switch to ensure safety and limitoperation. Centralized control of control cabinet canrealize manual or automatic control function. Theturning machine is equipped with a hydraulic liftingsystem. The turning teeth are strong and durable, andhave certain crushing and mixing functions forfermented materials.

Double Screws Compost Turning Machine



The double screws compost turning machine is suitable for fermentation of livestock waste, sludge waste, sugar refinery filtelmud, straw sawdust and other organic wastes. lt overcomes the limitation of the width and depth of the traditional groove tumingmachine. The turning depth can reach 1.6 meters and the turning width can reach 12 meters, which greatly improves the spaceutlization ratio.After the improved double axis reverse rotation movement, it has the function of tuming, mixing and oxygenation.improving the fermentation rate, decomposing the composting quickly, preventing the formation of the odor, saving the energyconsumption of oxygen filling, and shortening the fermentation time.

Chain Compost Turning Machine

The chain compost turning machine is suitable for deep groove composting of organic solid wastes, such as livestock manure, sludge and garbage. The machine walks along the rail of the fermentation groove, and its high efficiency turning operation is conducive to speeding up the fermentation of materials in the fermentation tank, reducing moisture content and improving composting quality. The series specifications of the machine can meet the width of various fermentation groove.

Windrow Compost Turning Machine


The windrow compost turning machine is used for stacking type fermenting technology on the ground. it is a special machine forturning, breaking,supplying oxygen and piling up materials.

1. The machine can be set the running speed of the wheel and turing axis according to the nature of the material, and get the

right yield and quality.

2. The power is vertical water-cooled diesel engine with sufficient power, high efficiency and low fuel consumption.

3. The turning direction is in the direction of pull bar, and the turning is flexible, small area, and the convenient.operation.

4.Using electric button switch, joystick operation, flexible and simple.

5. According to the customer's request, the distance between the axis and the ground can be adjusted by hydraulic pressure toprevent the turning of the turning shaft.
