Reasonable treatment and utilization of cow manure is crucial for the sustainable development of agriculture. And the composting cow dung is a key step in converting cow dung into organic fertilizer, which accelerates the fermentation of cow dung and improves the quality of fertilizer. What’s more, cow dung composting equipment not only helps to improve soil fertility, but also plays an important role in environmental protection. Therefore, the production process of composting cow manure has important practical value.
What’s the price of cow dung composting equipment?
The price of a cow manure composition system can vary greatly depending on its size, degree of automation, material handing capacity and other factors. And the price of a cow manure composting is usually at $30,000~$80,000. And the following are prices of cattle manure production for different factors.
The Price Of Large/Small Scale Of Compost System.
Usually, the higher the capacity, the higher the price of the cow dung production is. And here is a rough price range of different scales.
In addition to the price of the equipment itself, transportation costs, installation and commissioning costs, you should also consider the operation and training costs. Because the price will change with the market and suppliers, and you need to refer to the actual quotation.
The price of high and low automatic deegree of compost machine.
High Automatic Degree Compost Machine.
The automatic turning machines are usually equipped with advanced control systems that can automate the turning process and reduce manual intervention. It can save a lot of energy for you, because you just need to feed materials and start the machine. The machines used in the composition process are manure dewatering machine, a mixing machine, a fertilizer shredder and a composting machine, there is no need for you to take part in the process. And the automatic turning machines are suitable for medium or large scale production. The price may higher than semi-automatic machines, which is at $8,000~$30,000.
Low Automatic Degree Composting Machine.
There are also cow dung compost machine cost lower than automatic compost system. The whole cow dung composition process consists of a a solid-liquid separator and a cow dung composting machine. You can mix and shred materials by humans. On the one hand, it can achieve the aim of composting, on the other hand, it can save you lot of money. And the price of semi-automatic composting machines is at $800~$5,000.
In addition to the factors you need to consider, selecting a cow dung manure system also require consider the cost of any additional options and accessories. And raw materials costs and labor costs may also vary depending on the manufacturing location. Therefore, when choosing a cow dung composting machine, you need to consider all of these factors that you can buy equipment meets your needs.
Collecting fresh cow manure that can be mixed with straw, sawdust or other carbon source materials. This step is helpful to adjust the carbon to nitrogen ratio to the ideal ratio 25:1~30:1. If the nitrogen content is too high, it will produce ammonia, which is not conductive to compost fermentation. And if the carbon content is too high, it will lead to slower fermentation.
Too little moisture limits microbial activity. And too much moisture can result in poor oxygen circulation, which can lead to anaerobic conditions and odors. Therefore, moisture content is very important for cow dung composition. And the ideal water content of cow dung is at 50%~60%. Our company’s compost machine is equipped with a water spraying device that you can use to replenish the moisture content by adding water.
Before composting cow dung, you should pile the treated manure into long strips or piles in a well-ventilated place that can avoid rainwater. And the height of the pile usually should not exceed 1.5 meters. Then you can use a groove compost turner or a moving type compost turner to help you compost cow dung. During composition, you should turn the heap regularly to ensure the oxygen supply. At the beginning stage, you should turn the materials every 2-3 days. After this stage, you can extend the turning interval as the temperature rises.
The type and quantity of the fermenter and the ways of addition influence the fermentation efficiency of cow dung. Adding suitable fungicides such as actinomycetes, photosynthetic bacteria, yeasts and spread evenly on the cow manure according to the ration recommended in the instructions. What’s more, you can increase the quality of cow dung greatly by adding fungicide.
In addition to the methods mentioned above, you should control the temperature at 50℃~65℃ in the process of cow dung composting. And during the process, you can add water and fungicide according to the real condition.
How long does cow manure take to compost?
The time interval for turning cow dung compost usually depends on several factors including the size of the compost pile, the initial condition of the material, the climate conditions, and whether a fungicide has been added. Normally, the whole process of composting cow dung needs 2-4 months, which costs too much time. Our company can help you shorten the composition period in 15-20 days and improve the quality of product. And if conditions permit, you can determine the timing of turning by monitoring the temperature of the compost pile.
In addition, we also provide our best service for you that we can answer every question you asked. And if there is any problem with the machine, we will solve it immediately. In conclusion, choosing our company is the best choice for you to compost you materials.
