Compost turning machines are key equipment in the composting process. They effectively promote aeration, mixing, and decomposition of the materials, boosting both the speed and quality of composting.

1.Animal Manure

Chicken Manure: High in nitrogen, decomposes quickly. Turners speed up decomposition and reduce ammonia loss.

Cow Manure: Higher fiber content. Turners break up clumps and improve air flow.

Pig Manure: More adhesive; requires mixing with bulking agents (like straw) during turning to prevent compaction.

2.Agricultural Waste

Crop Straw: Corn stalks, wheat straw, rice straw, etc. Turners break down long fibers, speeding up decomposition.

Fruit and Vegetable Scraps: Vegetable leaves, fruit peels, leftover produce. Turners ensure even mixing and prevent anaerobic conditions.

Spent Mushroom Substrate: Waste after mushroom cultivation. Turners promote secondary fermentation into good quality compost.

Bagasse or Peanut Shells: High carbon-to-nitrogen ratio. Turners help balance the compost and increase humus content.

3.Sludge and Organic Solid Waste

Sewage Sludge: Rich in organic matter. Turners help reduce heavy metal activity and promote safe treatment.

Food Waste: High in easily decomposable organics. Turners speed up breakdown and reduce odors.

Yard Waste: Fallen branches, leaves, grass clippings. Compost turning machines shred and promote decomposition.

4.Industrial Organic Waste

Herbal Medicine Residue: Plant-based leftovers. Turners promote breakdown into bio-organic fertilizer.

Textile Waste (Natural Fibers): Degradable cotton or linen waste can be composted for resource recovery.

Compost turning machines work well with many materials. However, the specific properties of each material (moisture, stickiness, C/N ratio) need to match the right turning approach. Choosing the right turner and optimizing the fermentation settings significantly improves composting speed and quality.
