Product Overview This self-propelled tracked compost turner is designed to mix and aerate elongated windrows of livestock manure and organic bulking materials. It can serve a commercial pig farm's manure treatment area or a larger centralized composting facility. The crawler undercarriage provides mobile operation across prepared composting pads, while the turning rotor works through the windrow to loosen compacted material and redistribute it for aerobic composting.
Key Features
  • Crawler travel system for self-propelled movement between windrows.
  • Rotating drum and turning tools that break up, lift and mix manure with straw, bedding or other bulking agents.
  • Hydraulic functions for operating and adjusting the turning assembly, subject to the selected configuration.
  • Heavy-duty frame suited to repeated operation in livestock waste processing environments.
  • Windrow dimensions and rotor tooling can be matched to the material and required processing scale.
Structural Components Typical assemblies include a structural steel frame, crawler undercarriage, diesel power unit, hydraulic drive and controls, turning rotor, replaceable working tools, operator station and protective guards. The final arrangement, materials and optional equipment are confirmed according to project requirements.
Working Principle As the machine advances along a prepared windrow, the rotating drum engages the material, lifts and mixes it, and forms a turned windrow behind the machine. This action introduces air and helps distribute moisture and bulking materials through the pile. Turning frequency should be determined from the composting process, including pile temperature, moisture and material condition.
Technical Specifications
  • Machine type: Self-propelled crawler windrow turner
  • Suitable feedstock: Livestock manure blended with appropriate organic bulking materials
  • Working width and windrow height: Customizable
  • Engine, drive system and rotor configuration: Available upon request
  • Turning capacity: According to project requirements and material conditions
  • Operating environment: Designed according to local climate and farm conditions
Applications Suitable for pig manure composting, poultry litter processing, cattle manure treatment and centralized organic fertilizer projects. It can be considered for outdoor composting pads or covered processing areas where windrow spacing, access, drainage and ventilation have been planned around the machine.
Customization Options Working envelope, turning tools, operator arrangement and auxiliary spraying equipment can be reviewed according to the feedstock and site layout. For a pig farm construction project, machine access can be coordinated with the manure reception area, concrete composting pad, drainage system and any steel structure building used to cover the process.
Installation & Maintenance The machine operates on prepared windrows and does not require a fixed rail system. Confirm pad bearing capacity, drainage, windrow clearance and turning space before commissioning. Routine maintenance includes checking rotor tools, crawler components, hydraulic lines, guards and engine service items according to the supplied equipment manual.
Product FAQ

Can it process fresh pig manure?
Pig manure is commonly blended with straw, bedding or another suitable bulking material before windrow turning. Feedstock preparation depends on its moisture and structure.

Is a rail track required?
No fixed rail is required for this crawler-type configuration. The composting area should provide an appropriate operating surface and access space.

How is machine size selected?
Selection depends on the planned windrow width and height, daily feedstock volume, site layout and operating schedule. Final dimensions and capacity are available upon request.
