Product Overview The Horizontal Rotary Drum Manure Composter is an enclosed, in-vessel system for the aerobic processing of livestock manure and suitable organic amendments. Its rotating cylinder tumbles the feedstock to promote mixing and air contact while keeping the processing area more contained than an open windrow. The system can be planned as part of a commercial pig farm manure handling facility, a livestock waste treatment project or an organic fertilizer production line.
Key Features
  • Horizontal drum layout supports mechanical mixing within a compact processing footprint.
  • Enclosed treatment helps contain loose material and supports the design of managed ventilation and odor collection.
  • Drive, support frame and access points can be arranged for routine inspection and service.
  • Feeding, aeration, discharge and controls can be matched to the farm's manure collection process.
  • Protective finishes and material selections can be specified according to corrosion exposure and local climate.
Structural Components A typical arrangement includes a horizontal cylindrical vessel, steel support frame, drum drive and support assemblies, loading and discharge openings, inspection access and an electrical control panel. Depending on the project, the package may also incorporate a feed conveyor or screw feeder, forced aeration, temperature monitoring, an exhaust hood and downstream screening or curing equipment.
Working Principle Manure is blended with suitable bulking material as needed to adjust moisture, porosity and the composting recipe. The mixture enters the drum, where controlled rotation lifts and tumbles it. Air is supplied through the vessel's ventilation arrangement, allowing aerobic microorganisms to break down organic matter. Processed material is discharged for further curing, screening or use according to the required end-product standard and local regulations. Residence time and compost maturity depend on feedstock properties and operating conditions.
Technical Specifications
  • Drum dimensions and working volume: Customizable.
  • Processing capacity: According to daily feedstock volume and project requirements.
  • Vessel material and corrosion protection: Available upon request.
  • Rotation, aeration and control arrangement: According to project requirements.
  • Power supply and installation layout: Designed according to local standards, climate and farm conditions.
Applications Suitable project applications include pig manure processing, poultry litter composting, separated cattle manure solids, mixed livestock bedding and centralized agricultural organic waste treatment. Feedstock suitability should be confirmed from its moisture content, particle size and proposed bulking material.
Customization Options SHEWUYOU can discuss drum sizing, loading height, conveyor interfaces, discharge direction, control functions, ventilation connections and protective finishes according to project requirements. The equipment layout can be coordinated with a pig farm's manure collection route, concrete foundation, steel structure building, service access and downstream compost handling area.
Installation & Maintenance Install the support frame on a suitably designed, level foundation with adequate clearance for loading, discharge and maintenance. Confirm electrical supply, drainage, ventilation and access for lifting equipment during project design. Routine service includes inspecting drive and support components, checking openings and seals, cleaning material buildup, and monitoring the composting recipe and airflow. Indoor or covered installation can be planned where required by climate or site operation.
Product FAQ

Can wet pig manure be loaded directly?
Its moisture and structure should be assessed first. Dewatering or mixing with a dry bulking material may be necessary to maintain air spaces in the feedstock.

Is the material ready for field application when it leaves the drum?
Discharged material may require additional curing and testing. The required treatment and permitted use depend on the feedstock and local rules.

What information is needed for equipment selection?
Provide manure type, daily volume, moisture condition, available bulking material, site layout, local climate and the intended use of the finished material.
