Large Wheel Compost Turner: The Magician Turning Chicken Manure into Fertilizer?

The Core Challenge of Chicken Manure Organic Fertilizer Production Have you ever faced this dilemma: mountains of fresh chicken manure emitting unbearable odors, attracting flies and mosquitoes, requiring enormous time and effort to handle, and posing environmental risks if not managed properly? Traditional natural composting takes months, often resulting in uneven decomposition and significant nutrient loss. Is there a piece of equipment that can rapidly and thoroughly transform chicken manure into high-quality organic fertilizer? The answer lies in the large wheel compost turner. Chicken Manure Organic Fertilizer Production Process A complete chicken manure organic fertilizer production line typically includes the following steps: Pre-treatment: Fresh chicken manure has high moisture content (around 75%). It needs to be mixed with bulking agents such as straw, rice husks, or sawdust to adjust moisture and carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, making the material loose and porous. Pile Fermentation: The mixed material is placed into fermentation tanks or windrows, entering the aerobic fermentation stage. This is where the compost turner comes into play. Turning Operation: The turner periodically tosses and turns the material, providing oxygen to microorganisms, dissipating heat, and homogenizing the mixture. Post-maturation: After primary fermentation, the material continues to be stacked for a period to ensure thorough maturation. Further Processing: The matured material is dried, crushed, screened, granulated, and packaged to become commercial organic fertilizer. The Wheel Compost Turner: Heart of Chicken Manure Fermentation In chicken manure organic fertilizer production, the large wheel compost turner plays an irreplaceable role. It straddles fermentation tanks several meters wide, with two large-diameter turning wheels (nearly 2 meters each) rotating slowly. The paddles on the wheels lift the material high and toss it backward. This simple action accomplishes four critical functions: Oxygen Supply: The material fully contacts oxygen in the air, providing abundant "food" for aerobic microorganisms, enabling rapid proliferation. Temperature Control: Internal temperatures often rise to 60-70°C; turning brings the hot material to the surface, dissipating heat and preventing overheating. Odor Elimination: Adequate oxygen suppresses anaerobic bacteria, significantly reducing foul gases like hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. Obvious deodorization can be achieved within 7-12 hours. Homogenization: Material from different positions is mixed thoroughly, ensuring consistent fermentation without dead zones. A Giant That Spans 30 Meters The "large span, deep turning" capability of the large wheel compost turner is particularly suited for large-scale chicken manure processing: Turning Width: Up to 30 meters. One fermentation tank holds the capacity of several traditional tanks, greatly reducing civil construction investment. Turning Depth: 1.5-3 meters. It can handle deep material layers, multiplying output per unit area. 70% Energy Saving: The unique symmetrical transmission structure uses minimal power to achieve high workload. For the same processing volume, energy consumption is only 30% of traditional equipment. Automation: Programmable control enables automatic walking, turning, and limit switching, allowing unattended operation. The Magical Journey from Chicken Manure to Fertilizer Imagine: Fresh chicken manure mixed with straw is fed into the fermentation tank. The large wheel compost turner operates once or twice daily. On the first day, the internal temperature rapidly rises above 55°C, killing pathogens and eggs. On the third day, the pungent odor disappears, replaced by a faint ammonia smell. On the fifth day, the material darkens, becomes loose, and white fungal hyphae appear. By the seventh day, fermentation is complete—the material is dark brown, odorless, and rich in organic matter, ready as high-quality fertilizer feedstock. All this takes just one-tenth of the time required by traditional composting. A Versatile Team Player The wheel turner works in harmony with other equipment: Pre-treatment System: Includes crushers and mixers to adjust moisture and C/N ratio. Conveying Equipment: Transports fresh material into the tank and matured material out. Transfer Car: Enables one machine to serve multiple tanks, switching between fermentation tanks to maximize utilization. Post-treatment Equipment: Screens, disc granulators, packers, etc., process matured material into commercial fertilizer.
