What factors are closely related to the turning efficiency of a double screws compost turning machine?
The turning efficiency of a double screws compost turning machine is mainly closely related to three types of factors: the core parameters of the equipment, the characteristics of the materials, and the operating conditions.
1. Core Equipment Parameters
◦ Diameter, pitch, and rotation speed of the helical blades: The larger the diameter, the better the pitch adaptability, and the more reasonable the rotation speed, the significantly greater the amount of material turned and the turning depth in a single pass, thus improving efficiency; excessively fast rotation speed can lead to excessive scattering of materials, while excessively slow speed will reduce the work pace.
◦ Walking speed of the equipment: The walking speed needs to match the helical turning speed. Too fast a speed will result in insufficient turning of the material, while too slow a speed will waste working time and affect overall efficiency.
◦ Power system power: A fertilizer produciton machine with sufficient power can handle high-load operations, avoiding stalling due to insufficient power and ensuring continuous and stable turning.
2. Material Characteristics
◦ Moisture content of the material: When the moisture content is too high, the material is prone to clumping and sticking to the helical blades, hindering turning and material aeration; when the moisture content is too low, it will reduce the fermentation effect, and the material is prone to dust, both of which will affect the turning efficiency.
◦ Composition and clumping degree of the material: When the proportion of fibrous materials is too high or the clumping is severe, it will increase the operating resistance of the helical blades and reduce the amount of material turned in a single pass.
3. Operating Conditions
◦ Flatness of the work site: When the site is uneven, the equipment's movement is hindered, making it difficult to maintain a uniform turning depth, thus affecting efficiency.
◦ Height and width of the compost pile: The size of the compost pile needs to match the turning range of the equipment. Exceeding the suitable range will result in incomplete turning and require secondary operation.
