Industrial Crawler Compost Turner for Organic Fertilizer Production

YXFD-4000 Crawler Compost Turner from Henan Yuxing Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. is a high-capacity organic fertilizer manufacturing machine for industrial composting. Our model, improved over 20 years in the fertilizer equipment business, has a potential processing capacity of 1200-1600 m³/h, driven by a reliable 154kW National III 6-cylinder diesel engine. Our heavy-duty crawler system aerates and mixes piles up to 4000mm wide and 1800mm tall. This machine transforms animal waste, agricultural waste, and municipal sludge into high-quality fertilizer 30% faster. The CE and ISO-certified YXFD-4000 demonstrates Yuxing's commitment to reliability, innovation, and turnkey support in over 50 countries.

How the Crawler Compost Turner Works?

YXFD-4000 speeds aerobic fermentation using a three-stage mechanical and biological process.

Stage 1: Material Lifting and Penetration

The crawler-mounted equipment crosses large windrows in fields or sheds at 0–15 m/min. Its 910mm drum with high-strength alloy blades penetrates the pile deeply. The rotating drum lifts material from the lower layers and projects it above.

Stage 2: Aeration/Homogenization

Organic stuff breaks down and mixes with air during lifting. Forced aeration increases microbial activity and breakdown in anaerobic zones. The 1000–2000mm longitudinal turning distance evenly distributes heat and moisture in the pile.

Step 3: Pile Reformation and Temperature Control

Behind the turner, material falls back in a fluffy mound, generating a more porous windrow. Microbial heat is uniformly distributed, eliminating hot or cold pockets that impede development. This regular changeover reduces composting from months to weeks, essential for commercial products.

In tight areas, hydraulic walking and 360° in-place turning allow precision movement, while the heavy-duty expanded track (50mm width, 10mm thickness) stabilizes over uneven ground.

Core Technical Specifications

Key Features and Engineering Advantages

1. Heavy-Duty Crawler Platform

For big animal farms and municipal bio-waste facilities, the expanded track uniformly distributes weight, reducing soil compaction and preserving traction on muddy or sloping ground.

2. Hydraulic Walking System with High Torque

Even while processing wet poultry manure or fibrous agricultural leftovers up to 250mm, hydraulic motors maintain torque.

3. Balanced Turning Shaft

The 20# seamless steel pipe is perfectly balanced to reduce vibration and improve bearing life. It minimizes maintenance downtime and noise below 85 dB.

4. PLC-ready design

Options for PLC upgrades provide real-time engine load, drum torque, and pile temperature monitoring. Log data for process improvement and integrate Siemens or Schneider components for worldwide compliance.

5. Fast gearbox

Rapid gear engagement cuts row idle time, increasing daily throughput. With a 0–20 m/min travel speed, operators may traverse many windrows every shift.

6. Global Shipping Modular Design

Disassembling key parts for open-top container travel reduces logistical costs and ensures safe delivery to distant Southeast Asian plantations and European bio-waste hubs.

Wide-Ranging Industrial Applications

Large-Scale Livestock Operations

Swine, poultry, and dairy farms use the YXFD-4000 to treat thousands of cubic meters of fresh manure weekly. Rapid rotation prevents odor complaints and regulatory fines while generating cash via finished goods.

Treatment of Municipal Organic Waste

To stabilize sewage sludge and food waste, cities utilize this organic fertilizer manufacturing machine. Pathogen-free output satisfies public park landscaping and reforestation criteria.

Sugarmills and Agricultural Cooperatives

Corn stalks, rice husks, and sugarcane bagasse are composted into soil conditioners by cooperatives. Filter mud and lignin waste from sugar and paper mills become certified bio-organic fertilizers.

Greenfield Fertilizer Units

New plant entrepreneurs combine the YXFD-4000 with Yuxing's crushers, mixers, granulators, and dryers for a comprehensive product line—design, installation, and commissioning.

Customization and Global Compliance

ODM/OEM capabilities allow Yuxing's YXFD-4000 to adapt to various regulatory and operational environments.

• Configure for 50Hz/60Hz, 220V/380V/440V to fit local grids.
• Get CE, ISO 9001, or regional agricultural machinery subsidies.
• Control Systems: Swap Siemens PLCs or Schneider HMI multi-language displays.
• Anticorrosion: Use SS304/316 liners for acidic waste or epoxy coatings for coastal areas.
• Use your logo and color scheme for private-label distribution.

Due to our developed supply chain and in-house fabrication factory, bespoke products ship in 15–20 days.

Comprehensive After-Sales and Technical Support

Every machine comes with lifetime Yuxing technical support.

• Before installation: CAD-based plant layout and process flowcharts for your location.
• On-Site Commissioning: Our professionals install, calibrate, and train operators.
• Remote troubleshooting: 24/7 video conferencing to help fix problems.
• Reduce downtime by fast-shipping blades, bearings, and hydraulic seals.
• As production grows, retrofit PLC automation or add moisture sensors.

Year after year, this end-to-end service keeps your product running smoothly.

FAQ

Q1: What moisture level suits this compost turner?

A: Fermentation should be 40–60% for optimum microbial activity. Add water if too dry, sawdust if too moist.

Q2: How to avoid acidic manure corrosion?

A: High-contact zones receive SS304/316 liners and frames receive acid-resistant epoxy. This increases service life beyond 10 years in tough situations.

Q3: Does the turner manage manure and crop residue?

A: Yes. Prior to windrow creation, shred fibrous stalks to ≤250mm and combine with manure in a separate batching system to balance C/N ratio.

Q4: What is the lifespan of the drum blades?

A: Blades endure 2,500–4,000 hours, depending on abrasiveness. We have replacements on hand to minimize manufacturing delays.

Q5: Does the machine regulate odor?

A: Decomposition by the turner reduces odor-causing anaerobes. For enclosed sheds, use bio-filters or chemical scrubbers to fulfill emission limits.
