Production Capacity: 1-20 tons/hour
Turning Width: 2.5-5 meters
Turning Depth: 0.8 meters
Composting Time: 15-20 days
Suitable Materials: Chicken manure, cow manure, pig manure, biogas residue, mushroom residue, rice straw, rice husks, humus, etc.
Compost Turning Mechanism: A compost turning shaft (or roller) is typically driven by a motor, reducer, chain, or hydraulic system. Multiple blades or rake teeth are mounted on the shaft, which penetrate the material to turn and crush it.
Travel System: The compost turner moves longitudinally along the fermentation tank on tracks or tires, covering the entire tank and ensuring thorough treatment of the material.
Auxiliary Systems: Some trough-type compost turners are equipped with ventilation systems, spray systems, or automatic control systems to regulate ventilation and moisture levels within the compost and enable automated operation.
Transmission: The motor transmits power to a cycloidal pinwheel reducer, which then transmits the power to the compost turning drum via a sprocket, providing power for the turning action.
Application Areas
Organic Fertilizer Plant: Used for fermenting and turning organic waste such as livestock and poultry manure, straw, and cake meal to produce high-quality organic fertilizer.
Compound Fertilizer Plant: Mixes and ferments various organic and inorganic materials to produce compound fertilizer.
Sludge and Waste Treatment Plant: Treats municipal sludge and domestic waste, achieving harmless treatment and resource recycling.
Horticultural Farm: Used for fermenting and treating horticultural plant waste and leaf mold to produce horticultural cultivation media.
Agaricus bisporus Cultivation Plant: Fermenting and turning the mushroom cultivation media to provide a high-quality cultivation environment for the mushroom.
A trough-type compost turner typically operates within a fermentation tank. Its blades rotate at high speed, digging into the material and turning it from the bottom layer to the upper layer, breaking up any lumps and ensuring uniform mixing. During the turning process, the material slowly moves from the feed end to the discharge end (movement achieved through the machine's movement or the design of the trough).
The turning action loosens the pile, increasing porosity and promoting oxygen penetration, meeting the aerobic requirements of aerobic microorganisms and accelerating the decomposition of organic matter. It also helps evaporate water, reducing humidity within the pile. Heat generated by microbial activity is evenly distributed through turning, preventing localized overheating and anaerobic conditions. Repeated turning subjects the material to multiple high-temperature periods (50-70°C), killing pathogens and weed seeds, ultimately producing stable humus.
The trough-type fertilizer turning machine is an organic fertilizer turning equipment with the advantages of high fermentation material accumulation, large turning output, small turning site area, thorough material turning, large moisture reduction during the fermentation process, stable equipment operation and extremely low failure rate.
Efficient mixing
The unique blade or rake tooth design can effectively break up the agglomerated materials during the tossing process, making the materials more evenly mixed and fermented more fully.
High degree of automation
Manual or automatic control can be achieved through the control cabinet, and the pile can be turned automatically at regular intervals to reduce manual intervention and lower labor intensity.
Large processing capacity
The daily processing capacity of a single machine can reach 100,500 tons, which is suitable for large-scale organic fertilizer production and meets the needs of continuous production.
Energy saving and environmental protection
Compared with open-air turning, the trough design can reduce the spread of odor, and the equipment has lower energy consumption, which meets environmental protection requirements.

What materials are suitable for compost turning with a trough-type compost turning machine?
Trough-type compost turning machines are suitable for composting and turning organic waste such as livestock and poultry manure (such as chicken, cow, and pig manure), sludge, sugar factory filter mud, grain cake, straw, and sawdust. They are widely used in organic fertilizer plants, compound fertilizer plants, sludge and waste treatment plants, horticultural farms, and Agaricus bisporus cultivation facilities for fermentation, composting, and moisture removal. For example, on livestock farms, livestock and poultry manure can be processed through a trough-type compost turning machine and converted into high-quality organic fertilizer raw material. "
What are the characteristics of different types of trough compost turners?
Wheel-disc trough turners: These consist of multiple wheels that travel over the material and perform the turning operation. The rotation of the wheels lifts and disperses the material, achieving ventilation and mixing. They are highly maneuverable and suitable for small and medium-sized fermentation sites. They require relatively little space and can operate on irregular terrain.
Crawler-type trough turners: These use tracks to travel over the material and use a special turning mechanism to turn the material. The track design provides excellent maneuverability and stability, with strong turning force, making them suitable for handling thicker piles. They are also easy to operate and can be remotely controlled.
Track-type trough turners: These run along a pre-set track to turn the material. They are suitable for large-scale, continuous organic fertilizer production, featuring a high degree of automation and reduced manual operation.
How to choose the right size trough turner?
First, consider the scale of the material to be processed. If the farm is large and the livestock and poultry manure production is high, a large-scale machine with a high processing capacity, such as one capable of processing 100-500 tons per day, will be required. Secondly, consider site conditions. If space is limited, choose a model with a smaller footprint. If the site is open and well-organized, a track-type compost turner can better leverage its continuous operation advantages. Material characteristics are also crucial. For example, if the material is highly sticky or hard, choose a machine with a strong turning force and wear-resistant blades.
What precautions should be taken when using a trough-type compost turner?
During operation, coordinate the movement of each hydraulic cylinder to ensure smooth turning. Avoid tipping the pile too quickly, causing large fragments or raising dust. During turning, carefully observe the pile to avoid excessive stirring. Keep hard debris (such as rebar and rocks) out of the material to avoid damage to components such as the turning teeth. Keep the pile height within 80% of the rated depth of the machine to avoid prolonged overload.
