- Product Description
YXFD-2800 Crawler Windrow Turner Machine: Professional Composting Solution
The YXFD-2800 Crawler Compost Turner from Henan Yuxing has a 90kW turbocharged diesel engine and can process 900-1100m³/h theoretically. This windrow turner machine has a 2800mm operating width, 1400mm pile height, and 6 forward/2 reverse gears for commercial windrow composting. Yuxing has refined heavy-duty manganese steel blades and hydraulic systems for high-ammonia, corrosive composting settings after 20 years on the frontline. Aeration homogeneity and fermentation cycle speed may be improved by 30% using the machine, depending on material circumstances. This CE and ISO certified product offers 24/7 technical assistance and ships within 15-20 days.

How the Windrow Turner Machine Works?
The crawler-mounted YXFD-2800 lifts, mixes, and aerates organic materials through a high-speed rotating drum along windrow piles.
The 860mm-diameter drum with precise blades breaks up anaerobic pockets and homogenizes moisture, temperature, and microbial populations as it enters the pile at 0–15m/min. The configurable travel speed (0–20m/min) and 1000–2000mm longitudinal turning distance let operators adapt turning frequency to feedstock needs.
Oxygen infusion during each pass boosts microbial metabolism, while active mixing minimizes particle size and prevents overheating. The 4110 National II turbocharged diesel engine maintains appropriate composting conditions throughout the windrow by providing steady thrust in thick livestock dung or biosolids.

Core Advantages for Industrial Composting
High-Efficiency Throughput
The 900-1100m³/h YXFD-2800 is ideal for large-scale municipal sludge, livestock manure, and agricultural byproduct recycling operations. Despite excessive wetness and thick organic debris, its high-torque hydraulic drive performs well.
Super Homogenization & Aeration
Precision-engineered manganese steel blades reduce particle size uniformly and minimize anaerobic zones. Uniformity increases pathogen reduction and nutrient stability, fulfilling biosolids and organic fertilizer regulations.
Strong Durability
Heavy-duty chassis, corrosion-resistant coatings, and hydraulic relief valves defend against composting's low-pH, high-ammonia conditions. Shear pins and load-sensing devices avoid foreign item damage.
Operates Flexibly
Adjustable travel and operating speeds, 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, and flexible feedstocks—from 70% moisture chicken dung to drier crop residues—ensure efficiency.
Quick Delivery & Customization
Yuxing's mature production infrastructure guarantees 15–20-day customized equipment lead times. CE certification, Siemens/Schneider components, multi-language HMI, and OEM branding satisfy worldwide markets.
Key Application Scenarios
Municipal Sludge Treatment
Under strict pathogen reduction methods, the YXFD-2800 accelerates biosolids stabilization with high-volume daily inputs and stable continuous operation.
Industrial Organic Fertilizer Production
The equipment supports high-throughput production lines by managing high moisture and nutrient homogeneity over broad windrows for animal waste processing.
Recycling Agricultural Byproducts
The windrow turner machine quickly processes sugar mill filter mud, palm oil mill effluent (POME), and agricultural leftovers to reduce volume and provide value-added fertilizer in humid, tropical outdoor conditions.

Quality Control & Reliability
Yuxing ensures long-term ROI with comprehensive factory testing.
Every YXFD-2800 passes turning drum dynamic balancing testing to avoid vibration, 24-hour hydraulic pressure-drop tests, and blade Rockwell hardness (HRC) certification. Ultrasonic weld checks and 72-hour continuous load trials on the main chassis ensure structural integrity under industrial stress in high-tier units.
Chinese technical standards and provincial farm machinery subsidy criteria apply to all items. CE and ISO 9001 certifications verify worldwide manufacturing and safety standards.

Comprehensive After-Sales Support
Yuxing provides lifetime technical assistance to ensure your composting plant operates at peak efficiency.
Our support includes factory layout design, remote installation guidance, on-site commissioning, and operator training. You'll receive 24/7 troubleshooting via video call, spare parts consultation, and production optimization advice.

FAQ
Q: What is the optimal moisture content for the YXFD-2800 to process?
A: Ideally 40–60%. Specialized drum configurations can handle up to 70% moisture in specific manure applications.
Q: How often do the turning blades need replacement?
A: Depending on feedstock abrasiveness, blades typically last 600–1,000 operational hours. Yuxing supplies genuine spare parts globally.
Q: Can this product operate in sub-zero temperatures?
A: Yes. Professional units feature engine pre-heaters and high-viscosity hydraulic oil to maintain performance in cold climates while managing internal heap heat.
Q: What prevents overloading in dense piles?
A: Advanced automatic load-sensing hydraulic systems adjust travel speed based on real-time drum resistance, protecting the drivetrain.
Q: Is there risk of stone or foreign object damage?
A: Quality machines include shear pins or hydraulic relief valves that immediately disengage the drive if a large foreign object is encountered, preventing costly downtime.
