Tractor-pulled Compost Turner

A towable compost turner is an essential machine designed for large-scale composting operations. It is attached to and powered by a tractor or other towing vehicle, making it a cost-effective and mobile solution for turning and aerating compost piles. This equipment ensures efficient decomposition of organic waste by improving oxygen flow and evenly distributing moisture and nutrients throughout the compost windrows. It is widely used in organic farming, waste management, and commercial compost production.

Princípio de trabalho

The towable compost turner operates by being dragged over compost windrows while its rotating drum or blades lift, break, and mix the organic material. The key steps include:

1. Towing & Engagement – The turner is connected to a tractor and moved over a windrow.

2. Material Lifting & Aeration – The rotating drum or blades lift and fluff the compost, enhancing oxygen penetration.

3. Moisture & Temperature Regulation – By turning the pile, moisture is evenly distributed, and excessive heat buildup is reduced, optimizing microbial activity.

4. Even Decomposition – The process helps break down materials uniformly, speeding up the composting cycle and improving quality.

• High Efficiency – Increases composting speed by improving aeration and microbial activity.

• Cost-Effective – Uses a tractor for power, reducing the need for additional fuel or self-propelled engines.

• Easy Operation & Mobility – Simple to attach, detach, and transport across different composting sites.

• Better Compost Quality – Ensures even mixing of materials, resulting in high-quality, nutrient-rich compost.

• Versatile Applications – Suitable for various organic waste materials, including livestock manure, agricultural residues, and municipal waste.

• Environmentally Friendly – Reduces odor and greenhouse gas emissions by promoting aerobic decomposition.
