Comparison between trough compost turners and crawler compost turners

fertilizer granulator Aug 16, 2025

In the composting equipment of organic fertilizer production lines, compost turning machine and windrow compost turning machine have their own advantages. Choosing suitable equipment can make production efficiency more efficient.

In terms of application scenarios,compost turning machines are suitable for fixed-site operations and need to be used in conjunction with fermentation tanks. The width of a single tank is usually 3-5 meters and the depth is 1-1.5 meters. They are suitable for large-scale and standardized production bases, especially in the continuous fermentation line of organic fertilizer plants. Windrow compost turning machines are experts in mobile operations. The crawler design enables them to shuttle freely in muddy sites without the need for preset fermentation tanks. The pile height can reach more than 1.5 meters.

Each has its own focus on operating efficiency. The compost turning machine relies on chain transmission to drive the turning and throwing teeth. The hourly processing capacity can reach 50-100 tons. The turning and throwing depth is uniform, the material is highly broken, and oxygen can be fully integrated. The fermentation cycle can be shortened to 7-10 days. Windrow compost turning machines rely on hydraulically driven rotating blades to process 30-80 tons per hour. Although the efficiency per hour is slightly lower, they can adapt to irregular piles and have a small turning radius. Their flexibility in operation on complex sites far exceeds that of trough compost turners.

There are obvious differences in operation and maintenance. Compost turning machines require regular adjustment of chain tension and monthly lubrication of sprocket bearings. Due to fixed operations, the replacement cycle of wear parts is relatively long. Windrow compost turning machines require weekly inspection of track tightness and grease of blade bearings every 100 hours, but their modular design makes replacement of wearing parts more convenient and less time-consuming for daily maintenance.

In terms of energy consumption and cost, compost turning machines have 15%-20% lower energy consumption per unit of processing capacity, but they need to invest in fermentation tank construction in the early stage. Windrow compost turning machines have low initial investment, and mobile operations save site renovation costs, making them suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Both can meet the requirements of harmless compost treatment. The compost turning machine is suitable for large-scale and standardized production, while the windrow compost turning machine is suitable for flexible and changeable operation scenarios. Only by choosing according to your own production needs can you make compost treatment efficient and economical, and help the development of green industry.

Vertical disc mixers represent a breakthrough in fertilizer mixing technology, offering unmatched efficiency and uniformity. These fertilizer mixers utilize gravity-driven mixing action to achieve perfect uniformity without damaging delicate organic matter – a key advantage over traditional horizontal mixers in modern agricultural applications.

The Essence of Vertical Design

The cylindrical mixing vessel of a vertical disc mixer stands like a miniature distillation column, towering vertically above the work platform. This unique design not only saves 70% of floor space but ingeniously utilizes gravity to create perfect three-dimensional material convection during mixing. The spacious top feed opening easily accommodates various raw materials, while the carefully designed discharge valve at the bottom ensures residue-free evacuation of the final blend.

The mixing assembly is the heart of the equipment – optimized impeller combinations mounted on the central shaft act like a precise conductor. Through various blade designs (paddle, propeller, anchor, etc.), they create complex material flow patterns in vertical space. This multi-impeller design is particularly suitable for blending materials with significant viscosity differences.

The Fusion of Power and Control

The drive system embodies the essence of modern industrial design:

• High-efficiency motor – IE4 ultra-premium efficiency class, 5.5-55kW power range
• Precision reducer – 97% transmission efficiency, noise below 65dB
• Variable frequency drive – Enables stepless speed adjustment from 5-50rpm

Modern control panels have evolved into intelligent operation centers. The 10-inch touchscreen allows presetting 15 process parameters while monitoring real-time data like torque and temperature, ensuring mixing uniformity CV values remain stable below 3%.

Industrial Aesthetics in Details

Premium vertical mixers showcase quality in details:

• Pneumatic sealing system – Dual-lip silicone seals with <0.01% dust leakage
• Quick-release impellers – Tool-free replacement cuts cleaning time by 50%
• Modular support frame – 304 stainless steel with 2000kg load capacity
• Safety interlock – Automatic power cutoff when opened, CE compliant

These seemingly minor designs are precisely what ensure long-term stable operation, serving as hallmarks distinguishing ordinary equipment from industrial masterpieces.

What precautions should be taken during organic fertilizer production?

fertilizer granulator Aug 6, 2025

The efficient operation and high-quality output of an organic fertilizer production line depend on precise control of production details. Attention to precautions in every step not only ensures product quality, but also improves production safety and stability, empowering green agriculture.

The fermentation process is a key quality control point. Precise control of the fermentation temperature is required. Real-time monitoring by the equipment ensures that the core temperature of the material remains within the appropriate range, which not only kills pathogens and insect eggs but also promotes microbial activity. Regularly turning the material ensures uniform oxygen supply and prevents localized anaerobic conditions that can cause odor and nutrient loss. The fermentation cycle must be strictly adhered to. If it is too short, composting will be incomplete, while if it is too long, nutrient loss can occur. Flexible adjustments are required based on the raw material ratio.

Equipment operation and maintenance are essential. Before starting equipment like crushers and granulators, check component integrity and bearing lubrication to avoid running them unloaded or overloaded. During operation, closely monitor abnormal signals such as current and noise. If any problems are detected, stop the machine immediately for investigation. Regularly clean residual material from the equipment to prevent caking and mold that could affect the next production run, extending the equipment’s service life.

Environmental protection and safety measures must be implemented. The production area is equipped with dust collection and exhaust gas treatment equipment to reduce dust dispersion and odor emissions. Operators must wear protective equipment and strictly adhere to operating procedures to avoid direct contact with fermentation materials or moving equipment parts. Fermentation wastewater must be treated before discharge to prevent environmental pollution and comply with environmental protection policies.

Product storage and testing must be standardized. Finished organic fertilizer should be stored in a well-ventilated and dry warehouse to prevent moisture and caking. Each batch of product is sampled and tested for nutrient content, heavy metal indicators, and other indicators to ensure compliance with national standards and enhance market acceptance.

Only by carefully controlling these precautions can the organic fertilizer production line consistently produce high-quality fertilizer, achieve a win-win situation for both environmental protection and profitability, and provide reliable support for sustainable agricultural development.                  

How chicken manure is turned into fertilizer and the equipment used

fertilizer granulator Aug 6, 2025

The large amount of chicken manure produced by chicken farms every day was once a headache for farmers – it piled up and occupied land, the odor disturbed people, and polluted the environment. Today, with the upgrading of environmental protection technology, chicken manure has transformed into high-quality organic fertilizer, and this “gorgeous transformation” is inseparable from the help of professional processing equipment.

The core of chicken manure turning into fertilizer is composting and fermentation. Fresh chicken manure contains a lot of pathogens, insect eggs, and a strong smell of ammonia nitrogen. Direct use will burn the roots of crops and attract pests and diseases. Therefore, the first step is to “disinfect and improve the quality” of chicken manure.

First, send the chicken manure to the dewatering machine to remove excess water. The dehydrated chicken manure cannot be fermented directly, but must be matched with straw and sawdust to adjust the air permeability and make the fermentation more complete.

The mixed materials are sent to the fermentation area, and the turning machine (such as the compost turning machine) is on the scene to turn the materials regularly to ensure sufficient air, so that the upper and lower layers are heated evenly to ensure the fermentation effect.

The fermented materials are crushed and agglomerated by a pulverizer, and the impurities are removed by a drum screener machine. The powdered organic fertilizer obtained can be used directly. If you want to improve storage stability and application convenience, you can perform granulation.

Granulation requires an organic fertilizer granulator to condense the powdered material into uniform particles. Granular fertilizer is not easy to absorb moisture and agglomerate, and it is resistant to loss during transportation and storage. When applied, the amount can be controlled to prevent waste. It can also slowly release fertilizer in the soil, prolong fertilizer effect, and improve crop absorption efficiency.

This system not only solves environmental problems, but also creates profits. Chicken manure organic fertilizer improves soil, improves the quality of fruits and vegetables, and is very popular.

From waste to “hot cakes”, the counterattack of chicken manure is clear. Choose professional equipment to turn chicken manure into treasure, protect green waters and green mountains, and collect gold and silver mountains. This is a wise choice for the circular development of modern agriculture.

Harmless treatment of agricultural organic wastes with bio organic fertilizer equipment

fertilizer granulator Jun 21, 2025

The combined application of organic fertilizer and chemical fertilizer can improve the utilization rate of fertilizer. Chemical fertilizer has high nutrient content per unit, few components and quick release, belonging to quick acting fertilizer; Organic fertilizer contains a lot of nutrients, but the relative content is low, and the release is slow. It is a long-term fertilizer. In order to maintain the self-sustaining ability of nutrients and soil fertility, and strengthen the recycling and reuse of soil nutrients, organic fertilizer and chemical fertilizer should be applied in a reasonable way to complement each other, so as to combine the long and short fertilizer effects, which is more conducive to the absorption of crops, provide nutrients for crops, and improve the utilization rate of fertilizers.

Organic fertilizer equipment makes agriculture more and more green. For the farm, if the chicken manure, pig manure and other excrement are not treated in time, it will cause great pollution to the environment, especially to the surrounding air and soil, and bring trouble to the surrounding residents. In fact, animal manure is a good organic fertilizer. Processing animal manure into efficient organic fertilizer through organic fertilizer equipment can increase income while protecting the environment!
Organic fertilizer equipment has truly realized the development of agricultural cycle. The new organic fertilizer production line technology is more conducive to the harmless treatment of agricultural organic wastes by using bio organic fertilizer equipment. For the fermentation treatment of organic manure compost, the organic manure equipment is used to treat organic manure, which does not necessarily need livestock manure, chicken manure and pig manure. Wheat straw and corn straw mixed farm manure, pig manure and pig manure can also be added, and the organic manure production equipment is used for harmless treatment. Microbial organic fertilizer fermentation bacteria are added for composting fermentation, and the organic fertilizer granulator produces microbial organic fertilizer. The organic fertilizer production equipment is an ideal harmless treatment method for agricultural wastes.

What equipment does the organic fertilizer production line mainly consist of

fertilizer granulator Jun 21, 2025

Users who know and are familiar with the organic fertilizer production line can probably tell how many parts the organic fertilizer production line consists of, but it seems a bit vague to friends who are new to this industry. Today Zhengzhou Huaqiang Heavy Industry will share with you the organic fertilizer production line. What are the parts?
The pellet machine part of the organic fertilizer production line equipment, the core part of the organic fertilizer production line equipment is granulation, so the fertilizer pellet machine is indispensable. The model selection of the pellet machine is determined according to the user’s output.

The other parts of the organic fertilizer production line equipment, after the granules are machined, are conveyed to the disc shaping machine through a belt conveyor to shape the granules, and the granules have reached the perfect spherical shape of organic fertilizer granules. For users in need, we will be at the end design a packaging link to directly package the final finished product, which has perfectly realized the automatic production of the entire fertilizer granulation process.
The crushing part of the organic fertilizer production line equipment. In view of the diversity of users’ raw materials, our organic fertilizer production line equipment is designed with a crushing part. In the process of equipment sales, we found that many users used relatively dry chicken manure or pig manure as raw materials, and some users even mixed some other materials to reduce the production cost of organic fertilizer. And we know that materials with too large diameter cannot be directly granulated. Therefore, before granulating, we need to pulverize the raw materials to achieve the granulation effect, and the pulverized materials can enter the organic fertilizer granulator. Of course, users with sufficient material fineness can omit this link when designing organic fertilizer equipment.
Drying part of organic fertilizer production line equipment. The prerequisite of the granulation mechanism is that the humidity of the material should be controlled below 25%. Therefore, for some raw materials with an initial humidity above 25%, they should enter the drying process first, and then enter the granulation mechanism after the dried material reaches the corresponding humidity. Of course, users with sufficient material humidity can omit this link when designing organic fertilizer equipment.

How to solve the problem of caking in the operation of NPK fertilizer production line

fertilizer granulator Jun 21, 2025

When we use the organic fertilizer production line, improper operation may cause agglomeration, which is very troublesome to deal with. Today, the organic fertilizer production line manufacturers come to everyone to talk about how to avoid agglomeration.

The longer the fertilizer is placed, the easier it is to agglomerate, and the shorter the storage time, the less likely it is to agglomerate. In order to prevent agglomeration from occurring, we should pay attention to the following aspects in the fertilizer granulation process:
1. Reasonable selection of raw materials: that is, we choose raw materials that are not easy to agglomerate as our raw materials, and choose the materials to be as dry as possible.
2. The problem of agglomeration of fertilizer generally occurs in the process of fertilizer processing and transportation. It is mainly caused by the moisture absorption of the microscopic fertilizer crystal grains, the surface dissolution, evaporation and recrystallization. In this process, the formation of crystal bridges causes small particles to become large particles agglomerate; the agglomeration problem is mainly related to materials (raw materials for fertilizer production), humidity and temperature, external pressure and storage time.
3. Add some anti-caking agents: they play a role in breaking the bridge, and the organic fertilizer production line can also add some surfactants to prevent agglomeration.
4. Adopt reasonable packaging: prevent squeezing. The packaging materials are mainly to prevent moisture absorption and ventilation. Preventing excessive squeezing during transportation and storage can also effectively prevent the problem of agglomeration. Granulation technology by organic fertilizer granulator can prevent agglomeration: because the contact area between the pellets of the round pellets is small, it is not easy to crystallize and agglomerate, so if conditions permit, granulation is a good method to prevent agglomeration.
