Windrow Composting
Windrow composting is also called open windrow composting , which requires a windrow composting machine and is suitable for producing large volumes of compost in agriculture. This type of composting is usually used to handle garden waste, shrubs, trees, animal manure, and crop residues in long rows. The rows are intended to promote air circulation, remove moisture, and improve porosity and oxygen content. The temperature of the windrows must be measured and logged constantly to determine the optimum time to turn them for quicker compost production.
The windrow composting system is regarded as a sustainable, cost-efficient way for farmers to manage dairy waste. The main function of a compost turner is used to mix and turn agricultural waste and other materials into organic fertilizer for farm use. Our compost turner machines, Hydraulic Compost Turner and Self-Propelled Compost Turner, are suitable for the turning and fermentation of organic waste, such as agricultural straws, grasses, sludge waste, and straw sawdust.
Advantages of Hydraulic Compost Turner:
Hydraulic Compost Turner is widely used in farms, grazing land, fertilizer factory, etc. It is especially composted in harmless and resourceful treatment of livestock manure, agricultural waste, sludge, and industrial organic waste. Moreover, Hydraulic Compost Turner adopts the advanced drum design, which can change variable drum speed, and peak windrow for greater aeration and temperature control. Besides, this machine has a centralized control cabinet, which can achieve the manual or automatic control function. The compost turner is equipped with a hydraulically retractable drum, so that the machine can lift completely out of the row rapidly, and also can lock in place for safe transport. Meanwhile, it also has the advantages of efficiency, smooth operation, strong and durable, and even turning throw. It is the ideal equipment for large-scale organic fertilizer production plants.
Rectangular Agitated Bed Composting
The Rectangular agitated bed composting uses long, narrow beds to compost. Organic materials can be rotated periodically with the function of the automated compost turner. This system can produce the highest quality compost in the shortest time period. This method is suitable for processing organic waste such as animal manure, sludge waste, crop waste, etc.
There are two main types of compost turners always used in this agitated bed composting, which are Groove Type Compost Turner and Double Helix Compost Turners. The compost equipment uses a variable frequency speed walking system, which can adapt to changes in workload. That can shorten the fermentation period and improve production efficiency.
Working principle of Groove type compost turner:
It mainly includes gear, lifting device, walking device, and transfer vehicle, (mainly used in multi-groove), etc. It adopts variable frequency speed regulation, which can adapt to deep groove operation, different materials, stable running, and high turning efficiency. The motor drives the cycloidal reducer which drives the turning roller by the sprocket. The impeller is constantly flipped and stirred in the fermentation tank, which makes materials have a well-air-contact and short-period fermentation. The composting and turning process can be controlled automatically by using of our machine. With the function of vertical and horizontal walking devices, the organic waste is flipped continuously. In a word, the machine can be used in the fermentation room or fermentation tank.
