A high-efficiency hydraulic crawler type compost turner for organic fertilizer production is one of the most advanced and versatile machines in the modern composting industry. Designed to handle large-scale composting operations with speed and precision, this type of compost turner offers unmatched efficiency for producing high-quality organic fertilizers from livestock manure, agricultural waste, and municipal solid waste.
Unlike traditional compost turning methods, the hydraulic crawler type compost turner operates on a robust crawler track system, enabling it to move easily over compost piles while maintaining stability on uneven ground. Its hydraulic lifting drum system ensures deep and thorough mixing, aeration, and moisture regulation, which are critical for accelerating the composting process.
Modern organic fertilizer production demands consistency, speed, and quality. A high-efficiency hydraulic crawler type compost turner for organic fertilizer production addresses these needs by:
Reducing composting time from 60–90 days to 20–30 days.
Improving aeration and oxygen distribution for faster microbial activity.
Enhancing temperature control to eliminate pathogens and weed seeds.
Ensuring even moisture content for uniform compost quality.
This makes it an essential investment for commercial organic fertilizer plants, municipal composting facilities, and large farms seeking to produce high-value organic products.

| Heavy-Duty Frame | Withstands continuous operation in demanding environments. |
| Fuel-Efficient Engine | Lowers operational costs while maintaining high performance. |
The working principle of a high-efficiency hydraulic crawler type compost turner for organic fertilizer production is straightforward but highly effective:
Preparation of Raw Materials – Livestock manure, crop residues, and other organic waste are piled into windrows.
Turning & Aeration – The compost turner straddles the pile, and the rotating drum lifts, fluffs, and mixes the material while adding oxygen.
Moisture Regulation – Water or microbial inoculants can be sprayed during turning for optimal fermentation.
Pathogen Elimination – Maintaining core pile temperatures of 55–65°C kills harmful bacteria and weed seeds.
Multiple Passes – Over a period of 20–30 days, the machine passes through the piles multiple times until compost maturity is reached.
The high-efficiency hydraulic crawler type compost turner for organic fertilizer production is a versatile piece of equipment that fits into a wide range of composting operations, from small farms to industrial-scale facilities. Its design allows it to handle multiple raw material types while maintaining consistent turning quality and aeration efficiency.
1.Poultry and livestock manure composting
Poultry farms, cattle farms and pig farms produce a large amount of manure every day. Composting machines can quickly process this manure into stable organic fertilizers, reducing odors, preventing groundwater pollution, and enhancing nutritional value.
2.Recycling and Utilization of Agricultural Wastes
Agricultural waste, such as straw, corn stalks, sugarcane residue and other plant residues, can be effectively composted. By mixing these materials with manure and regularly turning the pile, farmers can produce nutrient-rich compost while reducing agricultural waste.
3.Mushroom substrate preparation
In the mushroom industry, composting machines are used to prepare and condition the growth substrate. High-efficiency hydraulic crawler-type composting machines are used in organic fertilizer production, ensuring uniform mixing, temperature control, and humidity balance, which are crucial for high-yield mushroom cultivation.
4.Urban organic waste treatment
The municipal authorities use these composting machines to process food waste, yard trimmings and green waste. This process relocates organic matter from landfills, reduces methane emissions, and produces valuable compost that can be used for landscaping or urban agriculture.
5.Commercial Organic Fertilizer Factory
The large-scale fertilizer plant integrates the composting turner into a complete production line. After composting, the mature materials undergo processes such as crushing, screening, and granulation, resulting in high-value organic fertilizer products.
No matter the source of raw material, the high-efficiency hydraulic crawler type compost turner for organic fertilizer production ensures faster composting, higher quality output, and better operational efficiency.
Case Study – Large Dairy Farm in South America
A dairy cooperative in southern Brazil was struggling to manage over 50 tons of fresh manure produced daily. Their traditional manual turning process required 70–80 days for compost to mature, consuming significant labor and space while producing inconsistent results. In 2023, they installed a LANE high-efficiency hydraulic crawler type compost turner for organic fertilizer production, customized for 3.5-meter windrows and equipped with a water spray system.
Results:
Cycle time reduced from 75 days to 25–28 days.
Labor costs cut by around 40%.
Better compost quality, with uniform texture and balanced nutrients.
New income from selling surplus compost to nearby farms.
The cooperative noted that the high-efficiency hydraulic crawler type compost turner not only improved manure management but also turned waste into a profitable resource.
The high-efficiency hydraulic crawler type compost turner for organic fertilizer production is a proven technology for transforming raw organic waste into high-quality compost quickly and efficiently. With LANE’s expertise and advanced engineering, you can shorten composting cycles, reduce costs, and improve product quality. Whether you are upgrading an existing composting operation or starting a new organic fertilizer production facility, LANE provides the equipment and support to ensure your success.
