Compost turner is widely used in aerobic composting, and hydraulic windrow turner is the best-selling. Generally speaking, hydraulic compost turners can be divided into three types: crawler-type full hydraulic compost turner, crawler-type hydraulic auxiliary windrow turner, and wheel-type hydraulic auxiliary compost windrow turner. The whole fermentation time can reduce to 7-15 days by composting organic waste with hydraulic compost windrow turners, which greatly shortens the compost fertilizer-making period. They can be used to turn and mix animal manure, sludge, household garbage, plant straw, etc.
Windrow Compost Turners Instruction
1. Full Hydraulic Compost Turner
The Full hydraulic compost turner machine can be carried out in the open space or workshop greenhouse. It is equipped with a cab. In order to save power, the auger adopts manual up and down and double sprocket and double chain drive.
According to the principle of aerobic fermentation design, It effectively mixes and stirs organic raw materials and bacteria, like sludge garbage, straw, livestock, and poultry manure. Under aerobic conditions of organic matter decomposition, the bacteria can fully play the role in organic fertilizer composting.
This machine is operated by one person, using of auger(machete, rotating knife shaft) to move on the pile.
Full hydraulic crawler-type compost turning machine adopts auger shaft hydraulic lift design. Through the hydraulic operating system, the machine can adjust balance automatically in working the patented design of the hydraulic lifting of the dragon shaft. Through the hydraulic operating system, the hydraulic system automatically adjusts the balance even if the ground is uneven. It does not affect the normal operation of the compost-turning machine. The system can adjust the force evenly of the walking wheel, reducing damage in the process of shock in a way. Turning the shaft can automatically adjust the lift, according to production needs. In addition, the shaft height can be adjusted at any time to meet the different circumstances of the organic raw materials, turning the materials.

2. Hydraulic Auxiliary Crawler Windrow Turner
This crawler-type windrow turner machine solves the problem that customers can not afford the machine. Its operation is more easily. Hydraulic direction type is phased out, saving the area, labor, and diesel, shortening the working hours and fermentation time. The clutch is a soft start. Most similar products are hard clutches, seriously doing damage to the chain, bearings, and shaft. It installs hydraulic push plates without turning to compost manually. It is a roller hydraulic lift and the cab is equipped with air conditioning. Owing to the crawler design, it can work on rough ground.

3. Hydraulic Auxiliary Wheel Compost Windrow Turner
This machine is similar to the hydraulic auxiliary crawler machine. The only difference is that it adopts a wheel design. Therefore, it can be used on flat ground. Because of four wheels, it can turn and move freely. For example, the worker can easily go forward and backward. If it is off the center of the pile, the operator can adjust the moving direction in time.
Application of Hydraulic Compost Turners
This organic fertilizer composting-making machine can be used for most organic fertilizer fermentation before the organic fertilizer granulating process.
Animal manure: pig manure, chicken manure, cow dung, horse manure, rabbit manure, etc.
Municipal sludge: river mud, sewage sludge
Industrial waste: vinasse, filter mud, vinegar dregs, cassava dregs, candy pomace, etc.
Household garbage: food waste
