On January 25, 2026, a trough-type compost turner—part of a powdered organic fertilizer production line—was officially shipped to the project site following the completion of factory commissioning. This marks yet another complete set of powdered organic fertilizer equipment delivered by the company in January 2026; the system utilizes a trough-type compost turner as its core fermentation unit to process a mixture of livestock manure and crop straw, producing powdered organic fertilizer that requires no granulation.
Project Background: Differentiated Demand for Powdered Organic Fertilizer
The client for this project is located in a densely populated livestock and poultry breeding area, where surrounding farms generate large amounts of chicken and cow manure daily. After market research, the client decided to produce powdered organic fertilizer instead of granulated fertilizer. This is because powdered organic fertilizer has a low investment threshold, a short process flow, and quick results, making it suitable for small and medium-sized start-ups. Furthermore, local farmers are accustomed to directly applying powdered organic fertilizer or mixing it with chemical fertilizers, resulting in high market acceptance. The core process of a powdered organic fertilizer production line is fermentation and composting, and the key equipment in this process is the trough-type compost turner.
Equipment Configuration: Powdered Fermentation Line Centered on the Trough-Type Compost Turner
This powdered organic fertilizer production line uses a complete configuration, covering the entire process from raw material intake to finished product packaging. Core equipment includes a trough-type compost turner, a half-wet material crusher, a drum screener, and an automatic packaging machine. The fermentation process uses a trough design, where the material is placed in the fermentation tank. The trough-type compost turner travels along a track, turning, aerating, and repositioning the material within the tank. The turning depth can reach 1.2–1.5 meters, and a single unit can process multiple fermentation tanks, ensuring uniform turning and consistent composting. After composting, the material is crushed, screened, and directly packaged as powdered organic fertilizer, eliminating the need for drying, cooling, and granulation. The overall investment and energy consumption are significantly lower than those of granular fertilizer production lines.
The Core Role of the Trough-Type Compost Turner
In powdered organic fertilizer production, the trough-type compost turner performs four functions: oxygen supply, temperature regulation, promoting evaporation, and ensuring uniform composting. When the pile temperature reaches 55℃–65℃, the compost turner periodically turns the material, turning the outer, uncomposted material into the interior and the hotter material from the interior to the exterior, ensuring uniform fermentation throughout the entire trough. During the turning process, the material is in full contact with air, moisture evaporates rapidly, and the composting period can be shortened to 15–20 days. Compared to manual turning, the trough-type compost turner is several times more efficient, and its turning depth and uniformity are far superior to manual labor, making it a key piece of equipment for the large-scale, standardized production of powdered organic fertilizer.
Delivery Significance: Lightweight Investment, Rapid Production
After this powdered organic fertilizer production line is put into operation, it can convert local livestock and poultry manure into powdered organic fertilizer on-site, realizing the resource utilization of manure. For customers, this production line has a moderate investment scale, a short construction period, and simple operation and maintenance, making it a pragmatic choice for entering the organic fertilizer industry. As the core equipment, the stable operation of the trough-type compost turner directly determines the fermentation efficiency and the quality of the finished product.
The delivery of the trough-type compost turner for the organic fertilizer powder production line on January 25, 2026, provides a lightweight and highly efficient technological path for the resource utilization of livestock and poultry manure in the local area. With the equipment installed, this powdered organic fertilizer production line will quickly enter the production phase.
