In small-scale organic fertilizer production lines, fermentation equipment is the core of the entire system, responsible for the key step of converting organic waste into organic fertilizer. According to different types of raw materials, site conditions, and individual needs, there are several common fermentation equipment to choose from:
1. Fermentation tank
Static fermentation tank: suitable for small-scale production, can be sealed and stored, easy to control temperature and humidity, suitable for indoor use, especially suitable for fermentation in high humidity and low temperature environments.
Dynamic fermentation tank: Equipped with a stirring device inside, it promotes oxygen distribution, accelerates the fermentation process, and is suitable for processing diverse organic waste with higher flexibility.
2. Fermentation tunnel
Ground type fermentation tunnel: built on the ground, with low cost, suitable for processing large amounts of solid organic waste, such as animal manure, crop residues, etc. It needs to be regularly turned over for oxygen supply and is suitable for outdoor applications.
Underground fermentation tunnel: It can provide better insulation and achieve uniform temperature fermentation throughout the year, making it suitable for fermentation operations in cold regions.
Crawler type flipping machine: suitable for mobile operations in open areas, with high flexibility and efficiency, suitable for handling various sizes of organic waste piles.
Spiral flipping machine: suitable for enclosed or semi enclosed spaces, especially for processing organic waste with high liquid content.
4. Vertical fermentation tower
Compact structure, small footprint, suitable for small-scale production in cities or limited spaces. Vertical layout allows for natural ventilation and reduces energy consumption.
5. Mobile fermentation box
Compact and flexible, easy to transport and place, suitable for decentralized raw material collection points or small batch processing needs, especially suitable for small projects at the family farm or community level.
6. Microbial fermentation bed
Using specific formulations and microorganisms to accelerate the fermentation process while reducing odor production, it is suitable for handling animal feces, especially for on-site treatment of animal excrement in aquaculture.
Each type of equipment has its own applicable scenarios and advantages. When selecting, consideration should be given to the properties of raw materials, fermentation time, site conditions, cost budget, and expected fermentation effect. Sometimes, multiple devices need to be used in combination to form a complete fermentation process. Before actual operation, it is best to consult professionals or equipment suppliers to make the most suitable choice based on the specific situation. In addition, in order to ensure the fermentation effect, it is necessary to monitor parameters such as temperature, humidity, and oxygen concentration appropriately during the fermentation process, and adjust them in a timely manner to optimize the fermentation process.
