Hydraulic Compost Turner

The OFEC Hydraulic Compost Turner is the core fermentation equipment at the front end of organic fertilizer production lines. Featuring a hydraulic operating system, crawler-type running mechanism, and rod-type power steering, it is specifically designed for aerobic fermentation of organic materials such as horse manure composting. Through turning, the compost pile is fully exposed to oxygen, effectively solving problems of insufficient oxygen, uneven temperature, and prolonged fermentation cycles – significantly improving compost quality and yield.

Product Overview

The machine travels straddling strip-shaped material piles. Augers and mixing tools beneath the frame turn and mix the compost material, ensuring full oxygen exposure to accelerate organic matter degradation and transformation. After turning, new piles are formed, effectively improving pile aeration and moisture distribution.

The Hydraulic Compost Turner is a specialized machine designed for organic waste fermentation. The OFEC Hydraulic Compost Turner offers excellent maneuverability, terrain adaptability, and turning capacity.

Equipment Components

● Efficient Turning: Augers and mixing tools thoroughly turn and mix the material, ensuring uniform oxygen exposure throughout the pile
● Strong Adaptability: Crawler-type running mechanism adapts to various working environments including outdoor open areas, workshops, and greenhouses
● Flexible Operation: Rod-type steering wheel control saves operating time and space
● Hydraulic Automatic Lifting: Augers and distributor feature hydraulic automatic lifting for easy adjustment and operation
● Durable & Reliable: Dedicated gearbox, universal joint transmission, and dual-chain drive ensure long-term stable operation
● High Production Efficiency: High turning efficiency effectively shortens fermentation cycles
● Easy Maintenance: Reasonable structural design, simple maintenance, low failure rate

Working Principle

The Hydraulic Compost Turner employs a crawler-type running mechanism and operates straddling strip-shaped material piles. Augers and mixing tools beneath the frame turn and mix the compost material, ensuring full oxygen exposure throughout the pile. After completing one pile, the machine turns and shifts to form a new pile in the adjacent position, enabling continuous operation.

Drive System: A dedicated gearbox ensures reliable quality, low failure rate, and easy maintenance. Universal joints are used for component transmission, guaranteeing durability. The roller shaft features dual-chain pulleys and dual-chain transmission for extended service life.

Hydraulic System: The auger features hydraulic automatic lifting for easy adjustment of the mixing tools’ distance from the ground, accommodating different compost layer thicknesses. The distributor also employs hydraulic automatic lifting, ensuring convenient operation and high production efficiency.
Steering System: A rod-type steering wheel makes operation simple, saving time and space while improving working efficiency.
