The difference between chain plate turner and trough turner for fermenting fertilizers

 Chain plate turners and trough turners are commonly used organic fertilizer fermentation equipment, which play different roles in the fermentation process of organic waste and have their own characteristics and applicable scenarios. Below is a comparison of the differences between these two types of turntables in fermented fertilizers:

Chain plate flipping machine

working principle

The chain plate flipping machine adopts a chain driven chain plate system, which moves back and forth on a fixed track. Through special designs on the chain plate (such as blades or toothed rakes), the stacked materials are flipped and mixed.

advantage

Flexibility: Able to operate in a smaller space, suitable for fermentation fields of different sizes and shapes.

Strong adaptability: Especially suitable for handling loose and lightweight materials such as straw, sawdust, as well as low humidity and low-density organic waste.

shortcoming

Compared to others, handling high humidity and high viscosity materials may encounter some challenges due to the tendency for blockages between the chain plates.

Trough type stacker

working principle

The trough type turning machine works in pre dug trenches, placing materials in the trenches and using the machine to move back and forth, turning and mixing materials to promote fermentation.

advantage

Stability: Due to the material being confined within the trench, it is easier to control the uniform mixing and fermentation process of the material, especially suitable for handling high humidity and high viscosity materials such as livestock manure.

Large scale production: suitable for large-scale organic fertilizer production, with high work efficiency and uniform fermentation.

shortcoming

Venue requirements: It is necessary to excavate the trench in advance, which increases the cost of early construction and maintenance.

Space occupancy: Compared to chain plates, it occupies a relatively large area and has certain requirements for the site.

summary

Selection criteria: The choice of two models mainly depends on factors such as the type of raw materials, processing capacity requirements, site conditions, and operating budget.

Flexibility and specialization: Chain plate is more suitable for small to medium-sized projects, especially for handling diverse raw materials in limited spaces; The trough type is more adept at standardized and batch production of organic fertilizers for large-scale projects, especially in handling specific types of raw materials.

Both have their own characteristics, and a reasonable choice can significantly improve the efficiency and quality of organic waste treatment, promoting the development of the organic fertilizer industry. In practical applications, sometimes multiple models and other auxiliary equipment are combined to build a more complete organic fertilizer production line.
