In the process of converting organic waste into high-quality fertilizer, compost turning machines are an indispensable and important equipment. It plays the following roles in the composting process:
- Promote uniform decomposition of materials
The raw materials of compost are complex, and compost turning machines can fully mix different types of materials. For example, hay, feces, fallen leaves and other raw materials are mixed evenly to ensure the consistency of the compost. This uniform mixing helps the overall balanced decomposition of materials to avoid the situation where some parts are over-decomposed and some parts are not fully decomposed, ensuring the quality of the final compost product.
- Promote uniform moisture
Compost turning machines help adjust and distribute moisture in the compost to avoid local over-wetting or over-drying. The appropriate moisture content is essential for the smooth progress of the fermentation process.
- Improve ventilation
Aerobic microorganisms in the compost need oxygen to decompose and metabolize organic matter. When the compost turning machine is working, it constantly turns the compost material. Air can smoothly enter the compost, allowing aerobic microorganisms to obtain sufficient oxygen supply, so that the decomposition process can proceed quickly and efficiently, greatly shortening the composting cycle.
- Regulate temperature
Microbial activity will generate heat in the compost. The compost turning machine can evenly disperse the heat by turning the compost. Without a compost turning machine, there may be local overheating and killing beneficial microorganisms, or local temperature is too low and microbial activity is insufficient. Appropriate and uniform temperature is conducive to the work of various microorganisms in a suitable environment, improving the efficiency and quality of composting.
- Reduce harmful gases
Harmful gases such as ammonia may be produced during the composting process. When the compost turning machine turns the material, it can prompt these gases to be dissipated in time to avoid excessive accumulation of harmful gases in the compost. This is conducive to improving the composting environment and improving the safety and environmental protection of the compost.
In summary, the compost turning machine is an extremely important equipment in the composting process, and plays an irreplaceable role in the efficient and high-quality completion of composting.
