What is a Chain plate compost turner？

The Chain plate compost turner is a specialized equipment for slot type organic fertilizer fermentation, which is used on the fermentation tank track. It relies on the chain plate toothed structure to excavate, lift, and throw materials backwards from the bottom of the material pile.

Chain plate compost turner working principle

The equipment is mounted on the fermentation tank track and can move longitudinally. During operation, the hydraulic system lowers the rotating chain plate component and penetrates deep into the bottom of the material pile. The wear-resistant toothed knife on the chain plate excavates, lifts, and throws the material backwards to a high position, allowing the material to fully contact the air. After completing one line, the chain plate rises, the whole machine retreats and shifts laterally, completing the full slot flipping line by line.

Chain plate compost turner Core structure

Walking system: driven by a variable frequency motor, capable of longitudinal walking and lateral displacement, suitable for different slot widths.
Chain plate flipping and throwing component: composed of high-strength wear-resistant chain plates, pallets, and curved toothed knives, responsible for excavating, crushing, and throwing materials.
Hydraulic lifting system: controls the lifting and lowering of flipping components, flexible operation, and protects equipment.
Transmission system: including reducer, sprocket chain, with strong power and stable transmission.
Remote control system: supports remote control to improve the working environment.

Chain plate compost turner Performance characteristics

Deep groove efficiency: The flipping depth can reach 1.5-2 meters, with a large processing capacity (500-1200m ³/h), suitable for large-scale production.
Energy saving and low consumption: Chain transmission has low resistance and is more energy-efficient than traditional equipment. Variable frequency speed regulation, with strong adaptability.
Uniform flipping: The material is scattered at a high position, with sufficient oxygen supply, fast evaporation of water, uniform decomposition, and no dead corners.
Durable and sturdy: Key components are made of wear-resistant alloys and equipped with shock absorption systems, resulting in low failure rates and long lifespan.
One machine with multiple tanks: It can be matched with a mobile crane, and one device can serve multiple fermentation tanks, greatly reducing investment costs.

Chain plate compost turner Scope of application of chain plate flipping machine

1、 Scope of Material Application
livestock and poultry manure
Chicken manure, pig manure, cow manure, sheep manure, duck manure and other types of livestock manure are the mainstream raw materials for organic fertilizer fermentation.
agricultural waste
Straw, rice husk, mushroom residue, peanut shells, sugarcane bagasse, cottonseed hulls, garden dead branches and leaves, weeds, etc.
Industrial organic waste residue
Organic industrial waste residues such as traditional Chinese medicine residue, wine residue, vinegar residue, cassava residue, sugar residue, starch residue, and slaughter waste.
Municipal environmental sanitation solid waste
Urban household waste includes organic components, kitchen waste, green waste, and sludge (domestic sludge, river sludge).
Composite mixed material
After multiple raw material ratios, the fermented compost and organic fertilizer semi-finished products are flipped and decomposed for the second time.
2、 Applicable scope of process/site
Trough aerobic fermentation
Best fit: Fixed fermentation tank, multi tank integrated fermentation workshop, dedicated for deep tank fermentation (1.5-2.5m deep).
Large scale organic fertilizer plant
Large and medium-sized organic fertilizer production lines, large-scale aquaculture supporting manure resource utilization projects, with large processing capacity and continuous production.
Environmental solid waste treatment project
Livestock and poultry manure resource utilization, harmless disposal of sludge, on-site resource utilization and fermentation sites for kitchen waste.
High moisture and high viscosity materials
Compared to wheeled and tracked flipping machines, it is not afraid of sticky materials or blockages, and can also flip high humidity manure and viscous sludge normally.
Need deep plowing, no fermentation dead corners
Under the working conditions of thick and high stacking layers, the chain plate is flipped up and thrown down from the bottom, with sufficient oxygen supply and even decomposition.
3、 Not applicable scenario (avoiding pitfalls)
Outdoor stack type simple fermentation (more suitable for track type flipping machine);
Materials with excessive rocks and hard debris are prone to wear and tear on chain plates and machine jamming;
Ultra narrow and small simple fermentation tank, with insufficient space for walking and moving.
