Hot Sale Compost Turner Machine
Groove Type Compost Turner
Working Principle: It operates on pre-installed rails atop fermentation grooves. High-speed rotating tines break, lift, and throw the material backward, ensuring intensive aeration and mixing.
Advantages: Features high automation; one machine can serve multiple grooves using a transfer vehicle. It maximizes land utility by allowing for higher material accumulation.
Fermentation Depth: Typically 0.8m – 1.8m.
Application: Large-scale organic fertilizer plants and standardized industrial livestock farms.
Wheel Type Compost Turner
Working Principle: Utilizing a large-diameter rotating wheel system on rails, it moves across the span of the groove to flip and displace materials horizontally.
Advantages: Highly energy-efficient (lowest power consumption per ton); supports extreme spans (up to 30m) with no dead zones; runs smoothly with high durability.
Fermentation Depth: Reaches 1.5m – 3.0m (ideal for deep-groove fermentation).
Application: Mega-scale organic waste projects requiring massive daily processing capacities.
Crawler Type Compost Turner
Working Principle: A ground-based mobile unit that travels on tracks. It straddles windrow piles, using a high-speed stirring shaft to flip, oxygenate, and crush the materials as it moves.
Advantages: Zero civil engineering required (no concrete grooves needed); highly mobile and easy to transfer between sites; excellent crushing performance for sticky or heavy materials.
Fermentation Depth: Typically 0.6m – 1.5m.
Application: Open-air composting sites, sludge treatment, and facilities preferring windrow fermentation to save on infrastructure costs.
Forklift Type Compost Turner
Working Principle: Built on a loader chassis, the front-end features a dedicated flipping attachment. It combines driving and turning into one fluid motion via hydraulic power.
Advantages: Ultimate flexibility; it serves as both a turner and a transport vehicle; low initial investment and very easy to operate.
Fermentation Depth: Adjustable based on pile height, effectively handling piles from 2.0m – 3.0m.
Application: Small to medium-sized farms, sites with irregular space, or start-up plants needing multi-functional equipment.
