Key measures to ensure stable operation of windrow compost turning machines

As a core piece of equipment in organic fertilizer production, the stable operation of windrow compost turning machines directly affects fermentation efficiency and product quality. To keep the machine running efficiently and continuously, systematic management is needed in areas like operating procedures, maintenance, and breakdown prevention.  

1.Standard Operating Management

Check hydraulic system pressure before work (keep it at 12–15 MPa).  

Keep flipping speed between 5–8 meters/minute.  

Keep pile height below the windrow compost turning machine’s max capacity (usually 1.5–2 meters).  

Clean off material wrapped around the turning shaft after each shift.  

2.Key Component Maintenance  

Hydraulic system: Replace hydraulic oil every 500 hours; check hose seals regularly.  

Flipping shaft: Inspect blade wear every quarter; replace if worn by over 30%.  

Track system: Adjust track tension every six months; replace cracked track plates promptly.  

3.Operating Environment Management  

Site requirements: Slope ≤5°; no sharp debris; uniform ground hardness.  

Weather adaptation: Reduce workload by 30% during rain; pre-warm the hydraulic system in winter before operation.  

4.Failure Warning and Handling  

Common issues and fixes:  

Unusual vibration → Stop immediately and check the shaft  

Low hydraulic pressure → Check the filter and oil level  

Track deviation → Adjust track tension  

To sum up, standardized operation, preventive maintenance, and careful management can best ensure the stable operation of windrow compost turning machines.
