Large wheel compost turning machines empower efficient operation of organic fertilizer production equipment

In the ecological chain of organic fertilizer production equipment, large wheel compost turning machines, with their core advantages of “wide coverage and deep turning,” have become the “efficiency leader” in the fermentation process.

The design of large wheel compost turning machines is tailored to the needs of large-scale production. Its core large disc is equipped with multiple sets of high-strength turning teeth. During operation, the disc rotates at a uniform speed, penetrating deep into the thick pile of organic materials, turning and breaking up mixed raw materials such as straw and livestock manure from the bottom up. This turning method not only covers a wide area, processing large areas of the pile at once, but also allows the material to fully contact with air, providing sufficient oxygen for microbial composting and reducing the odor and harmful substances produced by anaerobic fermentation at the source.

As a crucial link in organic fertilizer production equipment, it precisely controls the quality of composting. Organic material composting requires a stable high-temperature environment. Through regular turning, the large wheel compost turning machine can dissipate excess heat from the center of the pile and allow material from low-temperature areas to enter high-temperature areas, ensuring consistent composting progress throughout the entire pile.

In the entire organic fertilizer production process, the large wheel compost turning machine plays a crucial role: it receives the results of the previous raw material mixing process and efficiently decomposes the material to produce a loose, nutrient-uniform substrate, reducing obstacles for subsequent crushing and granulation processes.

From the harmless treatment of organic waste to the large-scale production of high-quality organic fertilizer, the large wheel compost turning machine makes the operation of organic fertilizer production equipment more efficient and stable.

Disc granulators “roll” out rounded fertilizer, while double roller press granulators “press” out hard, dense material

In the forming process of organic and compound fertilizers, disc granulators and double roller press granulators, with their different shaping logics, have become organic fertilizer granulators adaptable to different raw materials and needs. They not only meet the requirements of diverse fertilizer forms but also make the granulation process more aligned with actual production scenarios.

The core of disc granulators is “rolling agglomeration.” This method is more suitable for organic raw materials with moderate moisture content, such as well-rotted cow manure and straw substrates. The formed granules have a smooth appearance and moderate density, which not only promotes microbial survival (especially suitable for bio-organic fertilizers) but also facilitates subsequent storage and mechanized application, preventing clumping.

Double roller press granulators, on the other hand, follow a “pressure shaping” approach. The advantages of this process are that it requires no binder, has high forming efficiency, and produces granules with high hardness and strong moisture resistance. It is particularly suitable for granulating high-concentration fertilizers or dry raw materials, solving the problems of these materials being difficult to agglomerate and prone to scattering.

For those seeking granule roundness and bioactivity, disc granulators are the preferred choice; for those prioritizing high hardness, dry material forming, and binder-free processes, double roller press granulators are more suitable. These technologies address the pain points of fertilizer forming from different perspectives, providing flexible support for the diverse needs of fertilizer production.

Turning straw into fertilizer: The green magic of organic fertilizer production equipment

Under the agricultural trend of “reducing chemical fertilizer use and promoting ecological planting,” organic fertilizer production equipment is quietly rewriting the fate of waste. These unassuming machines use technological power to transform agricultural waste such as straw and livestock manure into “green nutrients” that nourish the soil, becoming invisible heroes of ecological agriculture.

The core logic of organic fertilizer production equipment is simple: to allow organic matter to undergo a “transformation” under scientific conditions. The entire process requires no complicated operations. First, the raw materials such as straw and dead branches are broken down into fine particles by a crushing device. Then, a mixing device mixes them with livestock manure in a specific ratio, adjusting the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio to meet the fermentation requirements. The fermentation stage is crucial. Specialized equipment can precisely control temperature, humidity, and aeration, allowing beneficial microorganisms to efficiently decompose organic matter, shortening the fermentation cycle and thoroughly killing insect eggs and pathogens. Finally, after processing by granulation and drying equipment, the loose fermented material becomes uniformly granulated organic fertilizer that is easy to store and transport.

Compared to traditional composting, these devices solve many pain points. No need for manual turning; automated operation reduces labor intensity. Closed-loop fermentation minimizes odor spread and avoids secondary pollution. More importantly, standardized production ensures more stable nutrient content in organic fertilizer, effectively improving soil compaction.

From field waste to ecological fertilizer, organic fertilizer production equipment bridges the gap in circular agriculture. It not only reduces reliance on chemical fertilizers in agriculture but also makes “turning waste into treasure” a reality, injecting continuous momentum into the development of green agriculture.

Disc granulation production line: A new solution for low-energy, circular organic fertilizer formation

The innovative value of the disc granulation production line lies not only in the pellet forming itself, but also in its core design logic of “low-energy circulation,” perfectly meeting the needs of modern agricultural waste resource utilization.

Its core advantage lies in “highly efficient energy utilization.” The disc granulation production line utilizes the natural forces of gravity and centrifugal force to achieve agglomeration and forming, eliminating the need for additional high-intensity mechanical pressure and significantly reducing motor load. Simultaneously, the frictional heat naturally generated during the material’s rotation within the disc helps evaporate excess moisture, reducing energy consumption in subsequent drying stages.

In terms of raw material recycling, this production line demonstrates strong ecological compatibility. It can efficiently process various agricultural wastes such as straw, livestock manure, and mushroom residue. Especially for “non-standard raw materials” with high moisture content (25%-40%) and low viscosity, stable pelleting can be achieved simply by adjusting the disc’s tilt angle and rotation speed, without complex dehydration or the addition of large amounts of binders.

“Lightweight” operation and maintenance are also unique highlights. The disc granulation production line has a simple structure with no complex transmission or enclosed components. The material flow path is clear, reducing the likelihood of blockages or material residue. Daily cleaning and maintenance require only simple operations, lowering labor costs.

Furthermore, the formed granules, due to their natural agglomeration, have a rich porous structure. When applied to the soil, they quickly integrate into the topsoil, enhancing water and fertilizer retention while promoting soil microbial activity, perfectly aligning with ecological planting principles.

Oil palm empty fruit bunch: “Green Raw Materials” for organic fertilizer production lines

As a major waste product of the oil palm processing industry, oil palm empty fruit bunch, with their rich organic matter and unique physical properties, have become a high-quality raw material for organic fertilizer production lines. Their deep integration with various stages of the production line not only realizes waste resource utilization but also optimizes the organic fertilizer production process.

In the raw material pretreatment stage, oil palm empty fruit bunch need to be processed by crushing equipment to break them into 1-3 mm granular materials. This removes coarse and hard impurities while retaining an appropriate amount of fiber structure. The crushed material is then mixed with livestock and poultry manure, microbial agents, etc., in a specific ratio. Its loose properties naturally adjust the carbon-nitrogen ratio of the mixture while improving its permeability, laying the foundation for subsequent fermentation.

In the fermentation stage, oil palm empty fruit bunch a highly efficient combination with a compost turning machine. During the composting and fermentation of the mixed materials, the fibrous structure of the oil palm empty fruit bunch prevents the pile from compacting, while the periodic turning by the compost turner further enhances aeration, allowing aerobic microorganisms to multiply rapidly and maintaining the composting temperature at a stable 55-65℃.

In the post-processing stage, the composted oil palm empty fruit bunches are suitable for the forming requirements of organic fertilizer granulators. Their residual fiber toughness enhances granule cohesion, preventing breakage due to compression during granulation and avoiding die clogging, thus improving granulation efficiency. The formed granular organic fertilizer, retaining some of its fibrous structure, possesses both long-lasting fertilizing effects and soil-improving functions.

The deep integration of oil palm empty fruit bunch with the organic fertilizer production line solves the waste disposal problem and optimizes the production process through the characteristics of the raw materials.

Organic fertilizer production line processing chicken manure: A comprehensive analysis of key considerations

Chicken manure, rich in nutrients and widely available, is a high-quality raw material for organic fertilizer production. However, due to its high moisture content, susceptibility to fermentation and spoilage, and the presence of impurities, key processes must be carefully controlled to ensure product quality and smooth production.

Pretreatment is fundamental. Fresh chicken manure typically has a moisture content of 70%-80%. It needs to be reduced to 55%-60% using organic fertilizer production equipment to prevent anaerobic putrefaction during fermentation. Simultaneously, impurities such as stones, plastics, and feathers must be removed manually or mechanically to prevent damage to subsequent equipment. If the chicken manure is severely clumped, it needs to be crushed to ensure uniform particle size, laying the foundation for fermentation.

The fermentation stage is crucial. Chicken manure has a high nitrogen content and needs to be mixed with straw, sawdust, and other carbon source materials in a specific ratio to adjust the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio to 25-30:1, promoting microbial activity. During fermentation, the compost pile needs to be turned regularly using a compost turning machine to ensure aeration and maintain a high temperature of 55-65℃ for 7-15 days to achieve sterilization, insect control, and decomposition.

Subsequent processing must be standardized. The decomposed chicken manure needs to be crushed and screened again to ensure there are no large pieces of uncomposted material, with a particle size controlled within 2 mm for easy granulation. During granulation, the material moisture content must be controlled at 20%-30% to avoid clogging the die holes; the drying temperature should not exceed 80℃ to prevent damage to organic matter and beneficial microorganisms. Simultaneously, the entire organic fertilizer production line must be properly sealed and deodorized to reduce odor diffusion and meet environmental protection requirements.

The connecting process of flat die granulator in organic fertilizer production line

In the overall process of an organic fertilizer production line, the flat die granulator plays a crucial “bridging” role. It receives the organic fertilizer raw materials from the preceding processes, after fermentation, crushing, and mixing, transforming the loose, powdery material into structurally stable granules, laying the foundation for subsequent drying, cooling, and packaging stages.

From a working principle perspective, the flat die granulator uses a motor-driven transmission mechanism to rotate the pressure rollers. When the raw material enters the machine, the pressure rollers exert extrusion force on the material, forcing it through pre-set die holes on the flat die, ultimately forming cylindrical or other shaped granules. This process requires minimal binders, relying primarily on the material’s own viscosity and extrusion force to achieve shaping, thus preserving the nutritional components of the organic fertilizer while avoiding the potential impact of chemicals on the soil.

For organic fertilizer production, the flat die granulator not only solves the problems of dust and caking during raw material transportation, but also controls the diameter and hardness of the granules by adjusting the die size and pressure roller pressure, meeting the needs of different crops and different fertilization scenarios. It is one of the indispensable core equipment in the production line.

Intelligent control: Improving the stability of organic fertilizer production lines

With the large-scale development of organic fertilizer production, intelligent control has gradually become a core means of improving organic fertilizer production line stability. Compared to traditional manual monitoring, intelligent systems can precisely control key parameters, reduce operational errors, and ensure consistent finished product quality.

Intelligent control is primarily applied in three key areas: First, fermentation process monitoring. By deploying temperature, humidity, and oxygen concentration sensors, the system collects real-time data from the fermentation chamber. When parameters deviate from the appropriate range, the system automatically triggers an alarm and adjusts the turning frequency and ventilation volume to prevent under- or over-roasting of the material. Second, granulation process control. Based on changes in material moisture content, the system automatically adjusts the fertilizer granulator machine speed and binder dosage to minimize problems such as granule clumping and breakage. Third, production data management. The system automatically records operational data from each stage, creating a production ledger that facilitates process traceability and allows for optimization of process parameters through data review.

This intelligent transformation of organic fertilizer production lines does not require replacing core equipment; it is often achieved through the addition of sensors and upgraded control systems. This reduces labor costs and improves the yield of finished products, making it suitable for small and medium-sized production enterprises to implement gradually.

Applicable to multiple industries, disc granulators offer a wide range of applications

Disc granulators are not limited to fertilizer production. Their outstanding granulation capabilities make them a valuable tool for a variety of industries, including metallurgy, building materials, and chemicals.

In the metallurgical industry, metal ore powders such as iron ore and manganese ore are processed into granules by disc granulators, facilitating subsequent sintering and smelting processes. This not only improves resource utilization, but also reduces production waste and lowers production costs.

In the building materials industry, disc granulators are used to produce cement raw material granules, ceramsite sand, and other building material granules. The granulation of cement raw materials improves their combustion properties, thereby enhancing cement quality.

In the chemical industry, disc granulators can granulate a variety of chemical raw materials, including catalysts, pigments, and detergents. The resulting chemical products exhibit improved flowability and stability, significantly enhancing product performance and meeting the high standards of chemical production.

Tracked design and efficient turning! Technical advantages of the windrow compost turner

The windrow compost turner’s widespread use in organic fertilizer production stems from the significant advantages offered by its unique technical design. The tracked design is a key advantage. Compared to traditional wheeled equipment, it effectively reduces ground pressure, typically to just 0.05-0.1 MPa. This allows for flexible maneuverability even on muddy, soft surfaces, or complex terrain with slopes up to 15°, eliminating the need for dedicated tracks. This significantly improves site utilization, exceeding that of trough-type compost turning machines by over 30%.

The machine also excels in turning performance. Its hydraulic arm allows for flexible adjustment of turning height and width, accommodating windrows ranging from 0.5-2.5 meters in height and 2-6 meters in width. A single unit can process 50-150 tons of material per hour, achieving an efficiency 1.5-2 times that of a single-screw compost turning machine. The turning teeth and spiral blades are forged from alloy steel. Combined with a bottom-up turning mechanism, this achieves a material turning rate of over 95%, preventing localized compaction and uneven fermentation. Material temperature deviation is kept within 3°C, ensuring stable fermentation quality.

Furthermore, the equipment’s electronic control system monitors operating parameters in real time. In the event of abnormal conditions such as overload or excessive hydraulic oil temperature, it automatically issues an alarm and shuts down the machine for protection, ensuring safe and efficient operation.
