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 !
Main Technical Parameters of Crawler Type Compost Turner:
| Model | Power(kw) | Turning Width | Turning Depth | Capacity(m³/h) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
What Are the Key Benefits of Windrow Composting?
Compared with other waste composting method, windrow composting helps you build an efficient and low-cost composting system. It improves the fermentation environment and supports stable, high-quality biofertilizer production. Here are the main advantages:
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.
Can You Add Microbial Agents with Windrow Composting Equipment during Waste Fermentation?
Yes. Windrow composting allows you to add microbial inoculants directly onto the compost pile. YUSHUNXIN can equip your turner with a spray system to apply water or bacteria evenly during turning.With it, you can spray: decomposition bacteria（Bacillus subtilis, thermophilic bacteria, deodorizing bacteria, functional strains（phosphate-solubilizing, potassium-solubilizing bacteria).
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
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.
