Organic Fertilizer Composting Methods

According to different classification conditions, fertilizer compost is divided into the following 5 categories:
1. According to the oxygen demand of microorganisms, it is divided into aerobic composting and anaerobic composting. Aerobic composting is a biochemical process that relies on the action of obligate and facultative aerobic microorganisms to degrade organic matter, and its decomposition speed is fast and the cycle is short.  For this, we can provide you with professional aerobic composting machine. Anaerobic composting is a process in which organic matter is degraded by the action of obligate and facultative anaerobic microorganisms, and its decomposition rate is slow and the fermentation period is long. Most of the currently used composting is aerobic fermentation.

2. According to the temperature requirements, it is divided into medium temperature compost and high temperature compost. The fermentation temperature of medium-temperature composting is 14~45℃, which cannot achieve the purpose of harmlessness. At present, this method is rarely used. The fermentation temperature of high-temperature composting is 50-65℃, and the highest is 80-90℃. It is currently the most widely used fermentation method. In-vessel fermentation tank is a typical high remperature composter.

3. According to the form of material movement in the composting process, it is divided into static composting and dynamic composting. After the static compost pile is built, it will not be overturned until the compost is fully decomposed and transported out. Dynamic composting adopts continuous or intermittent feeding or discharging dynamic mechanical composting method, and the fermentation efficiency is high.

4. According to the composting method, it is divided into windrow-type composting and trench-type composting. windrow-type composting is that the materials are piled into strips for fermentation in an open site, and the crawler-type mechanical turning machine is used to turn the pile. The trench-type composting is to put the material into a fixed tank and close it, and turn it over with a top track-type turning machine. Click here for suitable compost machine

5. According to the fermentation process, it is divided into primary fermentation and secondary fermentation. A fermentation starts from the fermentation, goes through a medium temperature period, a high temperature period and then a cooling period. Secondary fermentation is that after primary fermentation, most of the easily degradable organic substances in the compost material have been degraded by microorganisms, but there are still some easily degradable and a large number of refractory organic substances, which need to be further fermented to make them change. It can form relatively stable organic matter such as humic acid and amino acid to reach maturity.

What equipment can be used for fertilizer compost?

In the fermentation process of organic fertilizer, it can be divided into anaerobic fermentation and aerobic fermentation.

In the anaerobic fermentation of composting, anaerobic microorganisms are mainly used to carry out a series of decomposition processes under the condition of anoxic and anoxic conditions, so as to the materials are suitable for making fertilizer, and the final product is methane with a small amount of carbon dioxide and humic organic matter. There will also be other organic acid reducing substances such as sulfuric acid and ammonia. The composting process is simple and requires no manual operation, but the reaction speed is slow, the composting cycle is long, and the removal of harmful substances is incomplete.

Aerobic fermentation refers to the process of stably converting organic matter materials into humus fertilization by artificially configuring appropriate CN ratio, moisture, oxygen (ventilation), temperature and other environments to promote mass reproduction and decomposition of microorganisms. The final product of this type of fermentation can achieve maximum removal of harmful organic matter.  For this, SX can provide you with suitable fertilizer composting line.

In the process of aerobic fermentation, it is necessary to build a fermentation workshop, stack the organic materials in batches in the fermentation workshop, manually adjust the CN ratio of the organic materials, adjust the moisture appropriately, and ferment after adding beneficial bacteria. , During the fermentation process, by observing the activity and reproduction of the bacteria through the change of temperature and humidity, the appropriate use of fertilizer turning machines (wheel type turning turning machines, crawler turning turning machines, trench turning turning machines) is used to process the materials. Click here to learn more details of fertilizer composter. The turning and throwing can make the bacteria fully contact with oxygen, play the role of ventilation and contact with oxygen, so that the bacteria can reproduce and decompose organic matter better. At the same time, during the stacking process, the bacteria will release a lot of heat during the decomposition process. When the heat reaches a certain temperature, the microorganisms will not be able to survive. The composting process can also fully cool the microorganisms and achieve a suitable environment for the decomposition and reproduction process.

In the fermentation of organic materials, the assistance of a fertilizer turning machine can simplify the fermentation time period. Generally, organic fertilizer manufacturers use trench type fermentation in the construction of organic fertilizer fermentation workshops, and use brick-concrete structure to build the construction workshop as the organic fertilizer fermentation raw material storage place. The general construction is 4 meters or 5 meters wide. Tracks are laid on both sides of the organic fertilizer fermentation tank, and the turning rack is set on the track on the fermentation tank. The track is combined with the organic fertilizer turning machine, and the turning machine can pass the track. The organic material in the tank is fully tossed. A single wider trough can be selected with an organic fertilizer roulette turner. Ordinary or hydraulic organic fertilizer turning machines can be used for multi-channel troughs. In some places that are not suitable for building organic fertilizer fermentation tanks, organic fertilizer crawler type turning machines can be used to store organic materials in strips, and organic fertilizer crawler type turning machines can be used for successive turning.If you want to know more information, please check  https://fertilizerequipmentmanufacturer.com/compost-fertilizer-making-machine/
