Chicken manure is a high-quality organic fertilizer raw material, rich in nutrients and with comprehensive fertilizer effects. However, it has characteristics such as high moisture content, high viscosity, easy clumping, and a tendency to generate odors. Traditional stacking methods not only have long fermentation cycles and incomplete decomposition, but also easily produce odor pollution and attract mosquitoes, failing to meet the standards for harmless production. Therefore, chicken manure fermentation must be paired with specialized turning equipment. Selecting the appropriate type based on the production scale is key to realizing the resource utilization of chicken manure and producing high-quality organic fertilizer.
For small and medium-sized farms and small organic fertilizer processing plants, windrow compost turning machines are preferred. Chicken manure raw material has poor bulkiness and high moisture content. Windrow equipment has a large ground contact area and strong maneuverability, preventing material from getting stuck or slipping, and can be flexibly adapted to open-air windrow fermentation sites. This equipment comes with powerful dispersing and anti-tangling blades, which can effectively break up clumps of chicken manure, break up material compaction, quickly replenish oxygen, dissipate heat and moisture from the pile, and solve the problem of anaerobic odor generation in chicken manure. Its operation is simple, requiring no fixed fermentation tank, resulting in low investment costs. It is suitable for chicken manure fermentation operations with a daily processing capacity of up to 10 tons.
For large-scale organic fertilizer production enterprises, it is recommended to choose a trough-type compost turner. A standardized fermentation workshop paired with a trough-type compost turner can achieve automated and continuous chicken manure fermentation. The equipment operates stably, turning the manure evenly, and can precisely control the turning depth and frequency, ensuring uniform heating and oxygen supply to the chicken manure material, completely eliminating the situation of external fermentation and internal stagnation. It can also be equipped with a temperature control system to automatically adjust the operating rhythm according to the chicken manure fermentation temperature, significantly shortening the composting cycle and meeting the needs of large-scale, standardized, and high-quality chicken manure organic fertilizer production.
For high-moisture, viscous chicken manure, the selection of equipment should focus on performance. Models with self-cleaning, anti-tangling, and strong dispersing functions should be prioritized to prevent fibers and impurities from entangled in the blades and to prevent material adhesion and accumulation. Compared to general equipment, specialized chicken manure turning and turning equipment can effectively improve fermentation efficiency, completely kill insect eggs and pathogens, and achieve harmless treatment. It not only solves the problem of pollution from breeding, but also transforms waste chicken manure into ecological organic fertilizer, achieving a win-win situation for both ecology and economy.
