Product Name Chain-Plate Deep-Trough Compost Turner
Product Image chain-plate deep-trough compost turner
Product Overview Designed for fixed fermentation troughs, this electrically driven turner lifts and redistributes compost with a moving chain-plate assembly. It suits centralized manure handling at commercial pig farms, livestock facilities and organic fertilizer plants where material must be turned through a deeper pile. The machine, trough and supporting building can be planned together as part of a complete farm waste management project.
Key Features
  • Chain-mounted plates reach into the material, lifting and loosening dense manure and mixed organic feedstock.
  • Rail-guided travel provides a repeatable turning path along the fermentation trough.
  • Adjustable travel speed helps match machine movement to material resistance and operating conditions.
  • A reinforced steel frame supports the chain assembly and drive components during regular farm operation.
  • The fixed-trough layout can be integrated with manure reception, bulking-material handling and downstream screening or fertilizer processing.
Structural Components Main components include a steel bridge frame, rail travel mechanism, chain-plate turning assembly, drive and transmission units, electrical controls and protective guards. The complete installation also requires a compatible trough, support rails and electrical supply. A cross-trough transfer arrangement can be evaluated when one machine must serve multiple troughs.
Working Principle As the machine travels along the trough, the driven chain plates engage the compost, raise material from lower layers and release it back into the trough. This movement breaks up compacted zones, mixes manure with bulking materials and increases exposure to air. Turning frequency and moisture management should be set according to the feedstock and composting process.
Technical Specifications
  • Trough span and operating depth: According to project requirements
  • Machine dimensions and motor configuration: Customizable
  • Travel speed and control configuration: Available upon request
  • Electrical supply: Matched to the project location
  • Capacity and turning schedule: Determined by trough layout and feedstock characteristics
Applications Suitable for aerobic composting of pig manure, cattle manure, poultry litter and blends containing straw, sawdust or other agricultural residues. Typical installations include commercial pig farm manure treatment centers, livestock group waste facilities and organic fertilizer production plants.
Customization Options Trough layout, machine span, control functions, transfer arrangements and integration with the surrounding steel structure building can be designed according to local climate, farm conditions and project requirements. Final selection depends on daily feedstock volume, material composition, available floor area and the planned composting workflow.
Installation & Maintenance Coordinate trough construction, rail alignment, electrical routing and machine access before installation. After assembly, check travel clearance and chain operation under controlled conditions. Routine maintenance includes cleaning accumulated material, inspecting plates and chains for wear, checking fasteners and guards, and servicing drive components according to the supplied maintenance instructions.
Product FAQ

Can it process pig manure directly?
Pig manure can be composted in a trough, but moisture and structure should be assessed. Straw, sawdust or another suitable bulking material may be needed to create a workable mixture.

Can one turner serve several troughs?
A transfer arrangement may allow one machine to move between troughs, subject to the site layout and handling schedule.

What information is needed for equipment selection?
Provide the daily material volume, feedstock composition, proposed trough dimensions, electrical supply and a layout drawing where available.
