Biofertilizers use strip compost, which is easy to ventilate, easy to manage, and can also reduce energy consumption. YUSHUNXIN has two types of windrow turner for preparing bio fertilizer, one is small and medium-sized biofertilizer moving type composting machine, the other is suitable for large biological fertilizer composting site. So, you can choose based on capacity, performance characteristics and composting site. Compared with other equipment, the windrow turner can save space, efficiently tiller and save space.

What Are the Benefits of Windrow Composting in bio fertilizer preparing?

Compared to other composting methods in the preparation of biofertilizer, windrow composting offers several distinct advantages:

strip composting

Firstly, it provides excellent scalability. Unlike in-vessel systems or static piles, windrow composting can handle a wide range of material volumes, making it ideal for farms, municipal projects, or fertilizer producers. Secondly, its flexibility in site setup allows composting on open land with minimal infrastructure, reducing investment costs.

Another key benefit is the enhanced aeration and decomposition speed. With regular turning by a compost windrow turner, the piles maintain optimal oxygen levels and microbial activity, producing high-quality compost faster. This also helps control temperature, moisture, and odor more effectively.

In contrast, methods like static pile composting may require forced aeration and take longer to complete. In-vessel composting, while efficient, involves higher costs and limited capacity. Thus, windrow composting offers the best balance of efficiency, cost, and output quality for you.

How many types of windrow turner for preparing bio fertilizer are YUSHUNXIN?

There are 3 types of windrow-type compost turners for sale in YUSHUNXIN. You can choose them according to your composting scale, budget, and needs.

The moving type compost turner

The moving type compost turner is especially suitable for small to medium-scale biofertilizer production. It is designed with a four-wheel drive system, so, the operator can move it forward and backward easily. During operation, the entire machine straddles the pre-stacked compost windrow. Its rotating knife shaft, mounted beneath the frame, efficiently turns, loosens, and aerates the materials. As it moves forward, it reshapes the original pile into a new, well-mixed compost row, accelerating aerobic fermentation.

Crawler type composting machine

The crawler type compost turner is ideal for large-scale composting operations. It adopts the ground windrow fermentation method, which significantly reduces the need for civil engineering and manual labor—making it a cost-effective solution for biofertilizer producers. The crawler type composting machine is easy to operate using a lever-style steering wheel. It moves steadily on tracks, even across uneven terrain, ensuring stable and reliable performance. At the same time, YUSHUNXIN has equiped a fully hydraulic control system, so, you can efficient adjust of the turning depth.

Tractor drawn compost turner

Unlike self-propelled or crawler models, the tractor-pulled compost turner is connected to and powered by a traditional farm tractor, making it easy to integrate into existing agricultural operations without the need for an additional engine system. What’s more, it is suitable for open-field composting or on-farm organic waste treatment. You can adjust turning speed and depth by changing tractor speed or PTO settings. This model is particularly popular among farmers and cooperatives in regions where land is abundant but labor or electricity is limited. Welcome to consult us !

SXLDF-2400 85 2400mm 600-1000mm 500-700
SXLDF-2600 116 2600mm 1000-1300mm 1000-1200
SXLDF-2800 123 2800mm 1100-1400mm 1100-1300
SXLDF-3000 156 3000mm 1300-1500mm 1500

what is the price of the windrow turner for bio fertilizer manufacturing?

The price of windrow composting machine depends on your capacity and budget. If you want to compost organic waste at a small scale, the moving type compost turner is a good choice for you. It costs $6,000-$12,000. Which is efficient and flexible, both in the open field, but also in the workshop greenhouses to implement operations.

Then, if your budget is between $10,000-$70,000, a crawler type compost turner is worth choosing for you. YUSHUNXIN has upgraded the composting machine on the aspects of capacity, stablity, control system.

The above data is for reference only. In addition, you may need to pay additional fees when adding spraying device. Contact us for pricing of specific models of windrow type composting machine.

Can the windrow type composting equipment add biofertilizer strains during organic waste fermentation?

Of course, If you need, we can equip the windrow turners with the complete liquid spraying system. Including water tank, water pump and sprinkler system. During bio organic fertilizer fermentation process, you can add water or Effective Microorganism strains. It not only help you keep the suitable fermentation moisture, but increase the effectiveness of biological fertilizer. Feel free to contact us!

How to Choose the Right Windrow Turner for Your Plant?

Selecting the right windrow compost turner is essential to ensure efficient fermentation, lower labor cost, and match your plant’s scale and terrain. Here are key factors to help you make the right choice:

1.According to your composting Production Capacity

  • Small-scale (under 5,000 tons/year): A tractor-pulled compost turner is cost-effective and easy to operate using your existing agricultural tractor.

  • Medium-scale (5,000–20,000 tons/year): A self-propelled compost turner offers better automation and flexibility, ideal for standard windrow piles.
  • Large-scale (over 20,000 tons/year): Choose a crawler-type compost turner for high output and deeper pile turning.

2. Site conditions

All models are suitable for flat, paved ground. However, if you want to compost in uneven or unpaved ground, the Crawler-type compost turners with strong traction and hydraulic control perform best.

3. Raw material type

For fibrous or compacted raw materials (like straw, animal bedding), we recommend a crawler or self-propelled turner with stronger turning shafts. In additional, you can use the tractor-pulled models for composting soft, homogeneous materials.
