How Trough-Type Compost Turner Transform Animal Manure into High-Yield Organic Fertilizer
News January 22, 2026
Facing the pressure of manure treatment from large-scale livestock farming and the growing demand for organic fertilizers, an efficient, stable, and controllable fermentation production line is key to solving the problem. Our trough-type compost turner fermentation solution is helping customers worldwide transform animal manure such as cow dung, pig manure, and chicken manure into high-quality commercial organic fertilizer on a large scale, achieving both environmental compliance and economic benefits. The core of this solution lies in driving the entire aerobic fermentation process efficiently through mechanized and intelligent turning operations.
Three Core Steps for High-Yield Fermentation
1. Mixing and Pile Formation: Animal manure is mixed with conditioning agents such as straw and sawdust in appropriate proportions to adjust the carbon-nitrogen ratio and moisture content. The mixture is then loaded into the fermentation trough by a forklift to form windrows.
2. Trough-Type Composting (Core Process): The trough-type compost turner moves along the track on the fermentation trough. Its powerful rotating turning blades thoroughly break up, lift, and move the material, achieving in-situ turning. This process continuously injects oxygen into the material, dissipates moisture and heat, causing the pile temperature to quickly rise to and maintain 55-70°C, effectively killing pathogens and weed seeds. A complete composting cycle usually takes 15-20 days, with a single trough processing capacity of tens to hundreds of tons per day.
3. Curing and Subsequent Processing: The deeply fermented material can be moved to a curing area for further stabilization. It can then be sold as powdered organic fertilizer or undergo further processing such as granulation and packaging to produce granular commercial fertilizer.
Equipment Core Advantages: Designed for High Yield
* Features: Track-based operation, thorough turning without dead ends; crawler or wheeled chassis, strong traction, suitable for heavy-duty operation; hydraulic lifting of the turning blade arm to adapt to different pile heights.
* Function: The core function is efficient oxygen supply, uniform turning, breaking up clumps, and promoting moisture evaporation – four functions in one, making it a key piece of equipment determining the speed and quality of fermentation.
* Application: Designed for continuous, large-scale processing of various animal manures and organic solid waste, it is an ideal choice for building intensive organic fertilizer plants and large-scale livestock farm manure treatment centers. Quality Assurance and Comprehensive Service
