Large Wheel Compost Turner: The Giant of Compost Fermentation?

Trilogy of Fertilizer Equipment Part 3: From the "heart" of roller press granulation, to the "goalkeeper" of rotary screener, today's protagonist is the "giant" of turners—the large wheel compost turner. The Storm Maker of Composting Yards Can you imagine a scene where mountains of livestock manure, sludge, and straw are tossed and reshaped like ocean waves by a giant machine? Meet the large wheel compost turner—the "dragon" of the fermentation line. If the roller press is the heart and the rotary screener is the goalkeeper, then the wheel turner is the soaring dragon, breathing life into organic fertilizer production. Its working principle is a perfect blend of power and intelligence: two large-diameter turning wheels are symmetrically mounted on the main frame, driven by an energy-efficient transmission mechanism. The radial, wide paddles act like giant fingers, lifting the material and tossing it 1.5-3 meters backward. The material mixes thoroughly with oxygen in mid-air, landing fluffy and fragmented. This process achieves a turning capacity of hundreds—even thousands—of cubic meters per hour. A Giant That Spans 30 Meters What truly sets the wheel turner apart is its "large span, deep turning" capability. It can reach a turning width of up to 30 meters and a depth of 1.5-3 meters. This allows you to build fermentation tanks wider and deeper—wide enough for loaders to maneuver, deep enough to multiply fermentation capacity per unit area. Civil construction costs drop, while production efficiency soars. Turning Depth: 1.5-3m Turning Width: ≤30m 70% Energy Saving vs. Traditional Equipment Fully Automated Operation The Secret to 70% Energy Savings With such a massive frame, does it consume enormous power? Surprisingly, no. The wheel turner uses a unique energy-saving transmission—central chain or shaft drive powers two symmetrical wheels, while a speed-adjustable trolley handles lateral movement. This design achieves high-depth, large-span turning with minimal power. Compared to traditional equipment, it reduces energy consumption by 70% for the same workload—a technological breakthrough and a commitment to sustainability. Ever wondered how stinky chicken manure transforms into odorless organic fertilizer? The secret lies in the turning action. The wheel turner creates the perfect aerobic environment: high-speed paddles shred and toss the material, allowing oxygen to penetrate every particle. Aerobic microorganisms thrive, raising the pile temperature to 50-65°C within 1-2 days. Odors disappear in 7-12 hours, and the material matures in 5-7 days. Harmful gases like hydrogen sulfide and amines are suppressed—what was once foul waste becomes earthy, valuable fertilizer. A Versatile Team Player In a complete organic fertilizer line, the wheel turner works in harmony with chain crusher, double axis mixer, rotary drum granulator, dryers, coolers, screeners, and packers. Better still, it can be paired with a transfer car for "one machine, multiple tanks"—shuttling between fermentation tanks to maximize utilization. A hydraulic lifting system raises the wheels automatically when encountering obstacles, while a fully automated control system enables unattended operation—auto-start, variable speed, and limit switching. The operator simply pushes a button and lets the silent giant do the rest. From Farms to Factories, Everywhere The wheel turner's applications are vast: large-scale organic fertilizer plants, compound fertilizer facilities, sludge treatment centers, horticultural farms, mushroom cultivation bases—anywhere that processes livestock manure, sludge, filter mud, crop straw, or food waste. It turns waste into resources efficiently, economically, and sustainably. So, when you plan a modern organic fertilizer plant, make sure to give the wheel turner the stage it deserves—with its 30-meter span, 3-meter depth, and 70% energy savings, it will turn your waste into wealth and your future into prosperity. Roller press granulation, rotary screening, wheel turning—the three workhorses of a fertilizer production line. The trilogy ends here, but the beauty of industry never stops.
