Product Overview
Our Fully Hydraulic Crawler Compost Turner is engineered as the cornerstone of efficient, large-scale aerobic composting operations. Designed for the rigorous demands of continuous organic waste processing, this robust machine merges formidable power with intelligent hydraulic control to deliver unmatched mixing uniformity, operational efficiency, and process reliability. With a powerful 242kW (329 HP) engine and a targeted capacity of up to 1600 cubic meters per hour, it is purpose-built to accelerate fermentation cycles, reduce operational costs, and ensure the production of high-quality, homogeneous compost or organic fertilizer base material from a wide array of organic feedstocks.
Key Features
Deep, Homogeneous Mixing：Large-diameter, low-speed drum ensures turning reaches the bottom of the pile, achieving thorough homogenization and oxygenation for faster fermentation.
Intelligent Hydraulic Control：Fully hydraulic drive provides smooth, stepless speed control and easy operation via a single joystick from a panoramic cabin.
Stable Crawler Chassis：Heavy-duty crawler track provides excellent traction on varied terrain, with an integrated cleaner to ensure continuous, stable operation.
Hydraulic Height Adjustment：Drum height is hydraulically adjustable (1.8-2m) for easy adaptation to different windrow sizes and material stages.
Fuel-Efficient & Durable：Advanced engineering reduces fuel consumption by 30-50% compared to similar machines, with a robust build for long-term reliability.
Applications
This versatile turner is a critical asset for industries engaged in high-volume organic recycling:
Dedicated Organic Fertilizer Plants: For the core turning process in large-scale windrow composting of blended feedstocks.
Livestock Manure Management Centers: Processing poultry litter, dairy manure, and swine slurry in open or covered composting facilities.
Municipal & Commercial Composting Facilities: Handling green waste, biosolids, and source-separated organics.
Agricultural Cooperatives & Large Farms: On-site production of custom compost for soil health improvement.
Mushroom Farm & Growing Media Producers: Preparing and conditioning bulk substrate materials.
Work Process in Composting
The machine operates in a continuous, high-throughput cycle:
The operator drives the turner along the pre-formed windrow.
The rotating drum's alloy steel flails engage, lifting, fracturing, and aerating the material.
The design creates a throwing motion that mixes outer and inner layers thoroughly, introduces fresh air, expels heat and gases, and reforms the pile into a loose, uniform structure.
The simultaneous action of the track cleaner prevents material buildup on the undercarriage.
This process is repeated at biologically determined intervals (typically every 1-3 days) to maintain aerobic conditions and control temperature throughout the active fermentation phase.
Product Details
Organic Fertilizer Production Line
Within a complete organic fertilizer manufacturing plant, the Fully Hydraulic Crawler Turner is the essential workhorse of the primary fermentation stage. It is responsible for the active, biological transformation of raw, mixed organic materials into a stabilized, sanitized intermediate product.
Upstream Linkage: It receives pre-mixed raw materials (manure, amendments, bulking agents) from feedstock preparation areas.
Core Processing: Through its repeated, high-capacity turning, it mechanically enables and accelerates the aerobic fermentation process, ensuring consistent temperature, moisture, and oxygen levels critical for pathogen reduction and organic matter stabilization.
Downstream Preparation: The output is a semi-stabilized, uniformly textured compost ready for the next stages, which may include:
Secondary Curing: For further stabilization.
Drying & Screening: To achieve desired moisture content and particle size.
Crushing & Granulation: For commercial fertilizer production.
Blending & Bagging: For final product formulation.
This composting machine directly determines the production speed of the entire organic fertilizer production chain, the quality of the final product, and the overall economic efficiency.
