Hydraulic Compost Turning Machine

Hydraulic compost turners serve a wide range of applications and user groups:
Large-scale organic fertilizer manufacturers: Producing commercial organic fertilizer from livestock manure, crop stalks, and similar materials.
Industrial-scale livestock farms: Processing waste such as pig, cattle, and chicken manure.
Municipal sludge treatment plants: Aerobic composting of urban sewage sludge.
Agricultural waste treatment centers: Processing agricultural by-products like crop stalks and rice husks.
Industrial organic waste treatment facilities: Processing materials such as sugar mill filter mud, distillery grains, and pharmaceutical residues.
Compound fertilizer plants, horticultural nurseries, and button mushroom farms: Used for fermentation, decomposition, and moisture reduction.

Operational Mechanism and Fermentation Principles

The operating mechanism of the hydraulic compost turner is based on a synergistic model combining hydraulic drive, deep-layer turning, and natural oxygenation. The equipment travels smoothly along the fermentation channel rails, with the hydraulic system providing robust, steady power to drive the high-speed rotation of the turning drum. Wear-resistant alloy steel rake teeth, arranged in a staggered pattern on the drum, deeply scoop up, break apart, and throw the material backward. Hydraulic cylinders precisely control the lifting height of the turning drum, allowing for flexible adaptation to varying pile heights and material conditions across different fermentation stages. The entire process enables automated, continuous operation encompassing turning, oxygenation, and displacement.

Coordination between the fermentation process and the production line

The hydraulic compost turner plays a pivotal role in the aerobic fermentation process. The front section of the equipment can be configured with a blending and mixing system to combine raw materials and additives in specific proportions before feeding them into the fermentation tank. The machine operates by moving back and forth within the tank; through deep turning and aeration, oxygen-deprived "cold material" from the bottom is brought to the surface, while dry "hot material" from the surface is buried within the mass, creating optimal conditions for the proliferation of aerobic microorganisms. The rear section of the system can be equipped with machinery for crushing, granulation, drying, cooling, screening, and packaging. Its consistent turning performance ensures the supply of high-quality feedstock—characterized by appropriate moisture content and uniform particle size—for subsequent crushing and granulation stages.
