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 aspects should be concerned when using the windrow compost turner?

1. Before starting the windrow compost turn equipment, you should carefully check whether the various parts of the mechanism are in good condition, whether the position of each transmission handle and the speed change handle is correct, and the machinery should be carefully lubricated and maintained as required.

2. Check whether the oil in the fuel tank is sufficient, if not, add enough. Check the hydraulic system for leakage.

3. Check whether the oil circuit system and lubrication system are unblocked, if not, immediately notify the maintenance personnel to repair.

4. Before going to work, the operator must be present at the same time, pay attention to observe the machine and make all preparations.

5. Before starting the stacking machine of windrow type, the parts where the mechanical energy can be rotated should be rotated to observe whether there is any abnormality in the rotation of the machinery, and the maintenance personnel should be notified in time for repairs if the situation is found.

6. When starting, first turn on the power switch to energize the machine, and then turn on the switches of the electric oil pump and each motor for trial operation. After the work presses to stop the rail changing car, work on the upper frame.

7. During the operation of the windrow fermentation equipment, if it is found that the main shaft vibrates, the noise is loud, or the high pressure and temperature exceed 65°С, and other abnormal conditions, you should immediately check the situation with the mechanic and deal with it;

8. Except for the operation and maintenance personnel, other personnel are prohibited from getting on the machine when the machine is working.

9. In case of mechanical failure, the relevant personnel should be notified immediately, the cause should be found out, and the failure should be eliminated.

10. When the fertilizer machine for windrow fermentation is shut down after the work, the fan should be turned off first, and the drum should be run for 2-3 minutes to remove the mud before shutting down. Then do maintenance work, brush iron dust, lubricate and cut off the power supply.

Why the windrow compost turner it is better choice for composting fertilizer production?

The crawler-type windrow fermentation stacker is a kind of large-scale dumper. It has a fully hydraulic operating system, lever-type steering wheel operation, crawler walking, durable, strong power, advanced technology, large output, strong dumping ability, hydraulic lifting of the dumping drum Adjustment, high degree of automation, simple operation and easy to master. The crawler-type compost turner can effectively crush the agglomerates formed during the fermentation of raw materials. No additional crusher is needed in production, which greatly improves work efficiency and reduces costs. It is a professional turning equipment for the aerobic fermentation of organic materials into organic fertilizer.

The composting  turning equipment of windrow adopts a crawler drive design, which can be operated by one person. When it is working, the track straddles the strip-shaped compost pile, and the knife shaft at the lower end of the frame rotates to mix and turn the raw materials. The operation can be done not only in the open area, but also in the workshop or greenhouse.

The technology of the crawler type of windrow composting making machine is integrated with the crushing function of the material in the later stage of fermentation. With the continuous stacking of the material, the knife shaft can effectively crush the agglomerates formed during the fermentation of the raw material. No additional crusher is needed in production, which greatly improves work efficiency and reduces costs.

1.The power is a 38-55KW vertical water-cooled diesel engine with sufficient power, high efficiency and low fuel consumption.

2.Proprietary technology for small radius steering, combined with hydraulic power balance device, although the car body is large, the steering is flexible, which is convenient for field operations.

3.All use joystick operation, flexible and simple. Adjust the distance between the pile turning shaft and the ground by hydraulic means. Prevent the stacking shaft from touching the ground.

4.The hydraulic balance technology is adopted to ensure that the stacker can automatically adjust the four-wheel balance in the convex and concave field, and improve the adaptability of the field.

5.Stack turning machines with more than 120 horsepower are customized according to user requirements.
