In organic fertilizer production workshops, there’s always a piece of equipment shuttling back and forth like a “steel giant”: the windrow compost turner. Don’t underestimate it; it’s thanks to its hard work that piles of livestock manure, straw, and other raw materials are quickly transformed into fertile organic fertilizer.
Every morning, workers transport the collected raw materials to the fermentation tanks. That’s when the windrow compost turner comes into play. Its wide tracks allow it to move steadily across the fermentation tanks, while its turning teeth rotate continuously, turning and breaking up the raw materials layer by layer.This process not only allows the raw materials to fully contact with the air, providing sufficient oxygen for microbial reproduction, but also evenly dissipates the heat generated by fermentation, avoiding local excessive temperatures that kill beneficial bacteria. You should know that without its efficient turning, the raw material fermentation cycle may be doubled, and the quality of the fertilizer will be difficult to guarantee.
Of course, organic fertilizer production requires more than just a windrow compost turner. When the raw materials arrive, they first pass through a vibration screener machine to remove impurities like stones and plastic, ensuring their purity. After fermentation, the material is fed into a fertilizer crusher, where it is ground into a fine powder for subsequent processing. A fertilizer mixer then adds appropriate trace elements as needed to ensure a more comprehensive nutritional profile. Finally, a powder fertilizer packaging machine seals the fertilizer into bags, and the bags are ready for transport to the fields.
With the crawler compost turner as a key player, and the tacit cooperation of other fertilizer equipment, once a major headache for waste, it has been transformed into a treasure that nourishes crops. Today, more and more organic fertilizer plants rely on crawler compost turners, which not only improve production efficiency but also promote the circular development of agriculture. They are truly a well-deserved “golden assistant”!
