What are the applications of chain compost turning machines?

  • 2026-02-05

Chain compost turning machines are primarily used for the fermentation of organic materials.  They utilize a chain drive to power turning teeth that break up and turn the material, making them suitable for the following applications:

  1. Organic fertilizer production: When processing livestock manure, straw, and other raw materials, the turning process ensures sufficient contact with air, regulates temperature and humidity, and accelerates decomposition. It is a core piece of fertilizer production machine for small and medium-sized organic fertilizer plants.
  2. Biofertilizer fermentation: In the production of biofertilizers, it can evenly mix microbial agents with the materials, ensuring the activity of the microbial population and preventing localized overheating that could kill beneficial bacteria.
  3. Municipal sludge treatment: It is used for turning and fermenting sludge from wastewater treatment plants, reducing odors and moisture content, and preparing the sludge for subsequent resource utilization (such as producing nutrient-rich soil).
  4. Agricultural waste treatment: When processing crop residues such as corn stalks and rice husks, it can break up material clumps, promote decomposition, and convert them into organic fertilizer for farmland.

Its advantages lie in its flexible operation and adaptability to different pile heights, making it particularly suitable for scenarios requiring frequent turning and large volumes of material. It effectively shortens the fermentation cycle and improves the efficiency of material decomposition.
