It combines the characteristics of the film-covering system and the crawler walking mechanism, and has the advantages of efficient compost turning, promoting fermentation, and reducing pollution.
Main structure and composition
1. Tracked walking system
It adopts heavy-duty tracked chassis, which is suitable for soft and uneven pile sites, with strong anti-sinking ability and high stability. It can automatically control walking to realize forward, backward, turning and other functions. Traditional composting takes 60 days, and the film covering process can be shortened to 20~30 days.
2. Compost turning device
Equipped with a rotating knife shaft or propeller blades to throw and scatter the compost materials to promote oxygen penetration and water evaporation. The turning depth is usually 1.5~3 meters and the width is 2~6 meters (adjusted according to the model).
3. Film covering system
Integrated double film covering reels, film rolling and film covering at the same time, reducing the working path and improving production efficiency.
4. Power system
Diesel engine or electric motor drive, power configuration according to the processing volume (common 30~150 horsepower).
5. Intelligent control
High-end models can be customized with PLC control system to monitor the temperature and humidity of the pile and adjust the frequency of compost turning.
Applicable scenarios
Livestock and poultry farms: treat manure and produce organic fertilizer.
Agricultural waste: composting straw, mushroom residue, and fruit and vegetable residue.
Municipal sludge: mixed with auxiliary materials for fermentation to achieve harmless disposal.
Garbage treatment plants: rapid decomposition of organic waste.
Working process
The film-covered crawler compost turner adopts an innovative double-film roll shaft design to achieve seamless connection between film covering and compost turning operations. Its core working process is as follows: when the equipment is moving forward, the front film roll shaft synchronously recycles the old film to fully expose the pile; at the same time, the turning device performs deep turning of the materials, and the high-speed rotating knife shaft fully breaks up, mixes and throws the materials in the pile to achieve uniform oxygenation and moisture regulation; after the turning is completed, the rear film roll shaft immediately unfolds the new film to cover the pile tightly again, forming an ideal closed fermentation environment. This continuous and automated operation mode of "film collection-turning-film covering" not only ensures the optimal microenvironment required for the fermentation process, but also greatly improves the operating efficiency. It is one of the core technologies of modern composting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
When upgrading facility infrastructure, procurement teams and site managers often have specific technical inquiries. Below are detailed answers to the most common questions regarding our advanced turning equipment.
What determines the ideal turning width and depth for my facility?
The optimal dimensions depend entirely on your site layout and daily processing volume. Facilities with expansive open-air sites and high daily tonnage benefit from the maximum 6-meter width and 3-meter depth to maximize throughput, while operations with tighter spatial constraints may opt for narrower models to maintain better maneuverability.
How does the double-film roll system handle high winds or severe weather?
The integrated film covering mechanism is meticulously designed to pull the specialized anti-aging, moisture-permeable film taut over the pile. The weight of the material at the edges, combined with the precise mechanical tensioning of the roll shafts, ensures the micro-environment remains securely sealed even during adverse weather conditions or high winds.
Can the crawler chassis operate smoothly on unpaved or muddy ground?
Absolutely. The heavy-duty tracked chassis is specifically engineered to distribute the machine's approximate 20-ton weight evenly across a large surface area, resulting in exceptionally low ground pressure. This prevents the equipment from sinking, slipping, or losing traction in soft, muddy, or unpaved agricultural environments.
What routine maintenance is required for the high-speed rotary blades?
The blades are forged from high-wear-resistant alloys designed for extended, heavy-duty use. Routine maintenance simply involves periodic visual inspections for bluntness or foreign object damage, and regular lubrication of the knife shaft bearings to ensure smooth, high-speed rotation. When required, blade replacement is modular and highly straightforward.
Is it possible to upgrade to the PLC intelligent control system at a later date?
While we highly recommend integrating the PLC system during the initial factory build to ensure the most seamless sensor calibration and wiring, retrofitting is possible for certain models. The intelligent system is an invaluable asset for facilities aiming to fully automate temperature monitoring and strictly standardize their fertilizer output quality.
