How to make fertilizer in your wheel type compost system?

  • The focus of this production line is still in the early stage of fermentation. You can use a fermentation tank to place the material , and laying pipes inside to release oxygen. After that using a wheel turner to blend and lightly crush the material.

  • After this process, you can carry out screening to screen out the impurities that cannot be crushed. And you can continue to crush the others.

  • Stir after crushing. It is determined whether to add the bacterial agent during the stirring step according to the shape of the particles to be manufactured.

  • If producing powdered fertilizer, you can pack directly after crushing. If you produce granular fertilizer , configuring a granulator according to your needs. After granulation, you should dry and cool.

  • Finally, pack it. The above is the production process of the roulette type production line. If you want to know more, you can come to consult.

Three common configurations of the wheel-type composting organic fertilizer production line

If the water content of the material is too high in the early stage, you can use a dehydrator. After that you can use a roulette turner for turning and throwing. Then you can crush through a semi-wet material pulverizer , and mix through a horizontal mixer. Next, you can granulate and dry & cool. You can use  a drum screening machine to sieve the finished granules. And the granules are optimized as a whole by a coating machine. Finally pack it. Using the belt conveyor to transport the whole process.

The production process of the following two configurations is similar to the above and will not be introduced in detail. You can buy semi-wet material crusher, horizontal mixer, granulator, dryer, cooler, drum screening machine, packaging equipment, belt conveyor, etc.

The fermentation process for the wheel type compost system

If you want the roulette turner to play the most effective role in the production line, you need to know its fermentation process for subsequent operation rectification.

Prepare Materials and Add Bacteria

You can prepare the manure that needs to be fermented, it is best to use fresh manure (the fermentation effect of fresh manure is better than that of old manure). For example: about 1 ton of fresh pig manure plus 0.25 kg of pig manure organic fertilizer starter. You should mix the feces starter with rice bran (or corn flour, wheat bran) at a ratio of 1:5-10 for later use.

Feces Laying Trough

You need to spread the prepared feces while sprinkling bacteria. The height and volume of the spread should not be too short or too small. Requirements: the spread height is 1.5-2 meters, the width is 2 meters, and the length is no limiting.

Regulate Moisture

You must control the moisture content of fermented manure at 40-65%. (Moisture Judgment: Grab a handful of materials tightly with your hands, soak in water but not drip, and it is advisable to disperse when it hits the ground.) Less water will ferment slowly, and more water will cause poor ventilation, which will also cause “spoilage bacteria” to work and produce odor. Therefore, it is necessary to grasp the moisture content.

Starting Temperature

The start-up temperature should be above 15°C. You can operate it in four seasons without being affected by seasons. It is advisable to control the fermentation temperature below 70°C.

Mix Well and Ventilate

Feces starter requires aerobic fermentation, therefore, you should increase oxygen supply measures during the operation. And it is advisable to mix well, turn the pile, and ventilate. Otherwise, it will cause anaerobic fermentation and produce odor, which will affect the fertilizer effect.

Fermentation is complete

Generally, after 48 hours of pig manure accumulation, the temperature rises to 50-60°C. On the third day, it can reach above 65°C, and you should turn the pile once at this high temperature. Under normal circumstances, there will be two high temperatures above 65°C during the fermentation process. The fermentation can be completed by turning the pile twice. And you can complete the fermentation within one week normally. The material is dark brown, and the temperature begins to drop to normal temperature, indicating that the fermentation is complete.

Wide application for wheel type compost system

It is suitable for the fermentation with large span and high depth of live stock manure, sludge and garbage,filter mud from sugar mill,biogas residue and straw sawdust and other organic waste.

You can use the machine widely in organic fertilizer plant ,compound fertilizer plant, sludge and garbage plant,horticultural farm and bisporus plant for fermentation and the removal of water.

How to make the wheel type turning production line more automated?

The roulette turning and throwing machine plays a very important role in the fermentation process of the production line, but in order to exert its maximum effectiveness, some auxiliary equipment is also essential. For example: fabric vehicles, mobile vehicles, aeration systems, etc. There are also palletizing robots in the final packaging process. These auxiliary equipment make the whole production line more automatic. Next, I will introduce the role of these devices in the production line.

In order to meet the moisture, pH and other requirements during the fermentation of materials, you need to add some organic fertilizer starters. The wheel-type turning and throwing machine can give full play to its stirring function, so that the stirring operation can achieve the purpose of uniform mixing, stirring and bottom removal. And it can improve the permeability of the raw material, make the raw material fluffy and elastic, absorb a lot of air at the same time, and increase the temperature of the fertilizer pile. If the temperature is too high, it will absorb the fresh air again to lower the temperature, thus forming an alternating state of medium and high temperature. Beneficial to the growth and reproduction of microorganisms.

The function of the distribution truck is to spread the material evenly in the fermentation tank, so that the forklift does not have to enter and exit the fermentation tank frequently, which reduces the cost of raw material transfer and improves work efficiency.

Each trough-type aerobic fermentation system generally consists of 8-10 fermentation tanks, but generally you only need one turning machine . In order to save equipment investment, let multiple fermentation tanks share one turner, which requires switching the position of the turner between multiple different fermentation tanks. The moving cart plays the role of moving the turner and cloth cart from one slot to another.

The function of the aeration system is to ventilate and oxygenate the fermented material in the tank, so that the microorganisms in the material can interact with oxygen, and then fully ferment the material to generate useful humus. By aeration, it can shorten the number of days for fermentation.

The use of palletizing robots in the packaging process can help move goods, reduce labor costs, and improve loading efficiency.

It can be seen from the above introduction that each device plays an important role in the entire production line, which makes the degree of automation higher.

How to avoid the agglomeration and precipitation of raw materials during the operation of the wheel-type turning production line ?

There are often some problems in the turning and throwing process of the roulette turning machine, such as agglomeration and sedimentation. If agglomeration often occurs, it is mostly related to the temperature, humidity, external pressure and storage time of the material. These problems will lead to a decline in the overall operating efficiency of the production line, so how to avoid it?

When choosing raw materials, you can try to choose those that are not easy to agglomerate, such as trace element foliar fertilizers, iron, copper, manganese, zinc, sulfate, etc. as raw materials, and magnesium sulfate as the main additive. Helps keep materials within a suitable environmental range.

Because in spring, late autumn, and winter, the air humidity is low and the temperature is high, which will not create strong conditions for agglomeration. So the operator can choose to process during these times. You can add some anti-caking agents appropriately, such as talcum powder, humic acid, etc.

In addition, during the transportation of the roulette turning machine, you need to pay attention to prevent extrusion and ensure moisture absorption and air permeability. After finishing the installation of the roulette turning machine and before use, personnel should try not to run the production line on an empty stomach during the trial run. The engine must be heated and fed to avoid sticking, so that abnormalities can be detected as early as possible. At the same time, for its feed port, prohibiting iron and other sundries strictly in the vent hole.
