Chain plate compost turner

The chain-type compost turner is suitable for trough-type aerobic composting of organic solid waste such as livestock manure, sludge, garbage, and straw. Its travel system uses variable frequency speed regulation, offering excellent adaptability to different materials, smooth operation, high compost turning efficiency, and the ability to operate in deep troughs. This effectively shortens the fermentation cycle, improving production efficiency and product quality.

About of Chain plate compost turner

The chain-type compost turner is suitable for trough-type aerobic composting of organic solid waste such as livestock manure, sludge, and straw. Its variable-frequency drive system offers excellent adaptability to diverse materials, smooth operation, high compost turning efficiency, and the ability to operate in deep troughs. This effectively shortens the fermentation cycle, improving production efficiency and product quality. The variable-frequency drive system adapts well to changes in workload. The travel speed can be flexibly adjusted according to material resistance, making the machine more adaptable and flexible. An optional transfer crane allows for multi-trough composting. If capacity permits, production can be expanded by simply adding additional fermentation tanks, further enhancing the machine's usability.

How is works

Working Principle of the Chain-Type Compost Turner:

1. Positioning and Feeding: The equipment travels to one end of the pile, and the chain is lowered to the bottom of the pile via a lifting system, which begins the chain operation.

2. Lifting and Turning: The turning teeth on the chain engage the material, lifting the bottom layer upwards. This lifting process breaks up any agglomerated material and simultaneously turns the material mid-air, allowing it to fully come into contact with the air.

3. Scattering and Displacement: The lifted material is scattered backward at the end of the chain, forming a new, loose pile. The pile is then moved forward 0.5-1 meter (to gradually advance the material).

4. Continuous Operation: The equipment slowly travels along the length of the pile, and the chain continuously turns the material, processing the entire pile layer by layer. After each turning, the pile becomes more aerated and has improved temperature uniformity.




Product Advantage

Advantages of vertical composting tanks:

1. Controllable turning range

The chain-type structure allows flexible adjustment of the operating depth according to the height of the pile, ensuring thorough turning of deep-layer materials and avoiding dead corners where turning is incomplete. This makes it particularly suitable for handling taller and larger piles.

2. Uniform turning

When the chain drives the scraper, it continuously pushes and stirs the material, ensuring even heating and ventilation across the material. It also breaks up any clumping and improves composting efficiency.

3. High operating efficiency

The chain drive system offers low power loss and stable, high torque output, enabling continuous processing of large volumes of material. This makes it suitable for large-scale production and significantly shortens cycle times.

4. Wide range of material composting applications

Whether it's high-moisture livestock and poultry manure or fluffy straw, the chain-type compost turner ensures stable handling and turning, preventing slippage or material buildup. 

5. Long Service Life

Chain plates and chains are primarily made of high-strength alloy materials, offering excellent wear and impact resistance. They withstand long-term wear in harsh operating environments, reducing equipment failure rates and maintenance frequency.

FAQ

Chain plate compost turner

What materials are suitable for fermentation processing using a chain-type compost turner for organic fertilizer?

This type of compost turner is suitable for a variety of high-moisture, high-viscosity organic materials, such as livestock and poultry manure (chicken, cow, and pig manure), sewage sludge, sugar mill filter mud, distiller's grains, medicinal residues, and mixtures of straw and manure. Its chain structure effectively conveys and turns these easily agglomerated materials. For example, in sewage treatment plants, it can handle high-moisture sludge and straw mixtures, preventing incomplete turning caused by material adhesion.


What are the structural characteristics of a chain-type compost turner compared to other types of compost turners?

A chain-type compost turner utilizes chains and chain plates as its core transmission and turning components. The chain plates are typically made of high-strength steel and feature specially designed shifting teeth. Compared to wheel-type compost turners, their turning action is smoother, with greater material crushing power, making them suitable for handling sticky materials. Compared to crawler-type compost turners, they are more suitable for continuous operation on fixed tracks, resulting in a more compact overall structure and a relatively small footprint.

 

Is the operation of a chain-type compost turner complicated? Does it require dedicated personnel?

Chain-type compost turners are relatively easy to operate. Modern machines are often equipped with PLC control systems, enabling automatic or semi-automatic operation. The operator sets parameters such as the chain speed and turning frequency through the control panel, and the machine automatically completes the turning operation. In manual mode, a joystick controls the start, stop, and speed. Generally, workers with minimal training can operate the machine, but to ensure stable operation, it is recommended that a dedicated person be responsible for daily operation and monitoring.

 

What are the site requirements for chain-type compost turners?

Chain-type compost turners typically operate on pre-set tracks. Therefore, the site must be flat, and the tracks must be securely installed and parallel to avoid equipment stalls caused by uneven tracks. Fermentation material piles must be stacked according to the equipment's turning width and depth specifications. The height should not exceed 1.2 times the equipment's rated turning depth to avoid increasing the equipment's load. Additionally, the site must have a good drainage system to prevent water accumulation from impacting equipment operation and material fermentation.
