The importance of temperature control during fermentation with a fermentation compost turner is reflected in several aspects:
1. Promoting Microbial Activity: During fermentation, microbial activity is closely related to temperature. The optimal temperature range is typically 50-70°C. By turning the materials, the compost turner helps regulate the temperature within the compost, keeping it within the optimal range for microbial activity.
2. Ensuring Fermentation Uniformity: The compost turner mixes the surface of the compost with the materials within, evenly distributing heat and preventing localized overheating or overcooling, ensuring a uniform fermentation process throughout the compost. By uniformly mixing the materials, the compost turner can significantly shorten the fermentation cycle. For example, a chain compost turning machine, with its bidirectional agitation blades, can achieve a mixing uniformity of over 90%, significantly shortening the fermentation cycle.
3. Improving Fertilizer Quality: During the fermentation process, high temperatures (55-70°C) effectively kill pathogens, insect eggs, and weed seeds, ensuring the hygienic and safe quality of the final fertilizer. Properly controlling the fermentation temperature can reduce nutrient loss, particularly nitrogen volatilization. 4. Preventing Fermentation Failure: Compost turning machines increase the oxygen supply, preventing an anaerobic environment within the compost, thereby preventing foul odors and fermentation failure. During the turning process, moisture evaporates moderately with airflow, regulating the humidity and ensuring the compost's moisture content remains within an appropriate range, creating a favorable environment for microorganisms.
5. Achieving Precise Control: Modern compost turning machines are equipped with temperature sensors and automated control systems that monitor compost temperature in real time and automatically adjust turning frequency and ventilation volume according to preset parameters, enabling precise control of the fermentation process.
In summary, compost turning machines utilize temperature control during the fermentation process, which not only promotes microbial activity and ensures fermentation uniformity and quality, but also effectively prevents fermentation failure, improving the fertilizer's hygienic safety and nutrient retention.
