The application of tracked windrow turners is extremely widespread in organic fertilizer production. Apart from the fermentation tank method, all other organic fertilizer production processes rely on the turning step. So, what exactly is the role of windrow turners, and why is turning operation necessary in organic fertilizer production? Today, we will explain this in detail.

First, during the organic fertilizer fermentation process, it is necessary to thoroughly mix the fermentation strains, auxiliary materials, and raw materials, and turning operations can effectively blend these ingredients uniformly.

Secondly, the production and fermentation of organic fertilizers actually involve the decomposition of raw materials by aerobic bacteria, gradually breaking them down into simple nutrients that plants can absorb. This process requires a large amount of oxygen and generates significant heat. However, excessively high temperatures can inhibit the growth and reproduction of aerobic bacteria. Therefore, turning and piling operations not only help regulate temperature but also ensure thorough contact between the raw materials and air, providing aerobic bacteria with ample fresh oxygen.

Third, during the pile fermentation process, the raw materials may collapse, leading to reduced aeration and affecting the growth and reproduction of aerobic bacteria. Turning and mixing operations can enhance the aeration of the raw materials, restore their looseness, and promote the fermentation process.

The above explains the importance of turning and turning operations in the organic fertilizer production process. So, why use a turning machine?

Actually, turning and mixing can also be done without using a crawler-type turner, such as manual turning or forklift turning. However, in terms of efficiency and effectiveness, the turner holds an advantage. The workload of one hour of manual turning can be completed in just five minutes by the turner. Forklift turning requires constant adjustment of the forklift position, while the turner simply needs to run directly over the material to effectively complete the task. The superiority of each method is clear at a glance.
