Why Is "Shear Force" the Hidden Deciding Factor in Selecting Mixing and Composting Equipment?

In fertilizer production lines, mixers and compost turners are often collectively referred to as "agitation equipment," yet they exert vastly different shear forces on the material. The magnitude, nature, and duration of this shear force determine whether the equipment functions to break up clumps and adjust moisture, or to preserve granule integrity while aerating the material. Ignoring shear force during equipment selection—focusing only on whether the machine "can rotate"—often leads to applying high shear where a gentle process is required, or performing only superficial agitation where thorough turning is necessary.
