Significance
-
Mixing different compost components is essential for producing high-quality compost. This is currently done using costly and heavy mechanical equipment (such as JCB) with slower speed and improper mixing, or through labor-intensive manual methods.
-
Air is a critical element for aerobic bacterial growth, which helps in proper digestion of the cellulose content of straw. In current practices, this is achieved only through mechanical blowers.
-
Maintaining the correct moisture level is another key factor for effective bacterial growth, which is mostly managed manually at present.
To address these challenges, we have developed a mechanically operated compost turner (alteration machine).
Function
-
Used for preparing compost for button mushroom cultivation.
-
Ensures proper mixing of compost components during the turning process.
-
Provides efficient aeration.
-
Helps maintain optimal moisture levels in the compost.
Benefits
-
Delivers proper mixing with a higher mixing rate per hour.
-
Supports mixing, aeration, moisture balance, and bacterial growth simultaneously.
-
More cost-effective compared to traditional equipment and methods.
Material & Components
-
Stainless Steel (SS) for all water-contact components.
-
Mild Steel (MS) for all mechanically operated components.
