Equipment Overview
The large wheel compost turner represents a crucial fertilizer production machine specifically designed for material fermentation processing, primarily serving large-scale organic and compost fertilizer machine operations. This essential equipment within the equipments required for biofertilizer production features a massive wheel structure with diameters reaching several meters that rotates to drive specialized turning teeth along its perimeter.
Operating Mechanism
The core principle of this large wheel compost turning machine involves the rotating wheel creating a circular motion through the material pile. Through combined centrifugal force and mechanical action of the turning teeth, the machine systematically lifts, disperses, and re-accumulates organic materials. This process ensures optimal aeration, temperature and humidity regulation, and significantly accelerates microbial decomposition and maturation – a fundamental pretreatment stage for various production lines including the npk fertilizer production line and disc granulation production line.
Integrated Production Systems
Following the composting phase, the processed materials typically proceed to granulation stages using equipment like the drum granulator or specialized double roller press granulator to form finished fertilizer products. The large wheel compost turner thus serves as the foundational processing unit that enables efficient organic matter preparation for subsequent manufacturing stages across diverse fertilizer production systems, making it an indispensable component in modern organic fertilizer manufacturing infrastructure.
Working Principle
The large wheel compost turner achieves efficient turning operations through its unique rotating wheel design. When the equipment operates, the large wheel rotates at a stable speed, and specialized turning teeth installed on the wheel edge sequentially cut into the material pile. Under centrifugal force, the material is thrown into the air and redistributed, creating a uniform mixing effect. This operation mode not only ensures adequate aeration but also effectively breaks up material clumps, promoting even distribution of heat and moisture.
Technical Advantages
This equipment utilizes a continuously rotating large wheel design, allowing for wide coverage and high efficiency in a single turning operation. Compared to traditional trough-type or crawler-type compost turners, it is more suitable for large-scale windrow fermentation in organic fertilizer production bases with a capacity of 10,000 tons or more, significantly reducing labor and time costs for large-scale fermentation.
High Processing Capacity
The large wheel design enables a single processing width of 3-6 meters and processing depth of 1.5-2.5 meters, with hourly processing capacity reaching 200-500 tons. The work efficiency is 2-3 times that of traditional equipment. Continuous operation mode reduces equipment idle time, significantly improving production efficiency.
Uniform Fermentation Effect
The circular motion turning method ensures comprehensive, multi-angle material turning, with material mixing uniformity exceeding 98%. This uniform turning effect helps maintain fermentation pile temperature stability and promotes balanced development of microbial communities.
Low Operating Costs
The large wheel structure simplifies the transmission system, reducing equipment maintenance frequency and energy consumption. Compared to traditional turning equipment, it can save over 30% in energy consumption and reduce maintenance costs by 40%, making it particularly suitable for large production bases requiring long-term continuous operation.
Strong Adaptability
The equipment can adapt to various organic materials, including livestock manure, crop straw, sludge, and other raw materials with different characteristics. By adjusting wheel speed and travel speed, turning effects can be optimized for different material properties.
Application Scenarios
The large wheel compost turner is particularly suitable for large-scale organic fertilizer production enterprises with annual output exceeding 10,000 tons, municipal sludge treatment centers, large-scale breeding bases, and other facilities. Its large-scale processing capacity can meet the needs of modern organic waste resource utilization, providing reliable technical support for the development of circular agriculture.
Development Prospects
With the rapid development of organic agriculture and increasing environmental protection requirements, the large wheel compost turner is becoming the preferred equipment for large organic fertilizer production enterprises due to its excellent processing efficiency and stable operating performance. In the future, with the integration of intelligent technology, this equipment will achieve greater breakthroughs in automated control and precision operations.
