Windrow compost turning machine: A powerful tool for composting in challenging terrain

I. The Core of the Equipment: Why is the Crawler Design a Breakthrough? The most distinctive feature of a windrow compost turner is its tracked undercarriage. This design draws from the principles of tanks and construction machinery, significantly reducing ground pressure (typically only 0.05-0.1 MPa) by increasing the contact area. This allows it to move freely on sites with high moisture content, soft ground, or even on slopes (≤15°), without easily sinking or slipping like wheeled equipment. The core working component of the machine is a turning drum or a set of sturdy turning teeth controlled by a hydraulic arm. The hydraulic system provides exceptional flexibility: the turning arm can be raised, lowered, and rotated, easily adapting to piles of different heights from 0.5 to 2.5 meters. The turning teeth penetrate the bottom of the pile, lifting, breaking up, and throwing the bottom layer of material—which may be in an anaerobic state—to the surface, achieving thorough mixing and oxygenation of the material. II. Powerful Raw Material Processing Capability: It Can Turn Almost Anything With its powerful drive and adaptability, the windrow compost turner can handle various organic raw materials with different characteristics: High-Moisture, Viscous Materials:Such as fresh livestock manure, municipal sludge, and distiller’s grains. Its powerful shearing and throwing force can effectively break up material clumps, promoting water evaporation and uniform mixing. Coarse Fibrous Materials:Such as corn stalks and garden trimmings. The equipment can be equipped with reinforced blades or a crushing function to shred materials while turning, accelerating decomposition. Complex Mixed Materials:In organic fertilizer production, it’s common to mix and ferment multiple raw materials like manure, straw, and fungal residue. The crawler turner’s high processing capacity and excellent mixing uniformity (turning rate >95%) make it an ideal choice. A single unit can process 50-150 tons of material per hour, with an efficiency 1.5-2 times that of traditional trough-type turners, making it particularly suitable for large production lines with a daily output exceeding one hundred tons.
