Notes on the use of organic fertilizer turner

In recent years, the organic fertilizer dumper can be said to be very popular. So, what is the function of the organic fertilizer turner? In fact, composting is a process of continuously degrading and stabilizing organic matter through the action of microorganisms under certain conditions to produce a product suitable for land use. In the composting process, organic matter is not easy to decompose, stabilize and absorb under the action of microorganisms. So, what else should we pay attention to after use?

Adding bactericides (microbial agents) to livestock manure can speed up the fermentation of compost, and adding 10% stable fertilizer or 10% mature compost and 20% compost can speed up the fermentation. During composting, microbial communities naturally form and participate in the fermentation of organic wastes and decomposition of humus compounds.

The size of the compost material. Due to the movement of microorganisms on the surface of organic particles, the particle size is reduced and the specific surface area is increased, thereby promoting the activity of microorganisms and accelerating the composting process. On the other hand, if the raw material of the chicken manure organic fertilizer manufacturer is too thin, it will hinder the flow of air in the pile layer, reduce the effective oxygen content in the pile layer, and thus slow down the activity rate of microorganisms. Therefore, in order to speed up the fermentation process, it is necessary to reduce the particle size of compost materials as much as possible on the premise of ensuring air permeability. Livestock and poultry excrement is a thick paste, which generally requires adding a lot of materials to increase porosity.

PH value. PH value is also one of the important factors affecting the growth of microorganisms. Generally speaking, the most suitable pH value for microorganisms is neutral or weakly alkaline. High or low pH makes composting difficult. In addition, the pH value will also affect the loss of nitrogen, so when the pH value is higher than 7.0, nitrogen volatilizes in the form of ammonia. However, generally speaking, the pH value of livestock manure can meet the requirements of fermentation.

Ventilation and oxygen supply. Aeration is one of the key factors for successful composting. The oxygen consumption of compost is related to the content of organic matter in compost materials. The more organic carbon in compost materials, the greater the oxygen consumption. The suitable oxygen concentration of chicken manure in composting process is 18%. When the oxygen concentration is lower than 18%, the life activities of microorganisms in the good composting process are limited, which is easy to make the compost become anaerobic and produce odor.

Many users are concerned about whether the materials in the production of organic fertilizer equipment will cause corrosion to the equipment of the organic fertilizer turner. If this material corrodes the machine, it will shorten the service life of the equipment and increase the production cost of organic fertilizer, which is a cost effective investment for enterprises.
