Windrow compost turning machines have the following significant disadvantages in composting operations:
1. High equipment purchase cost: The design and manufacturing process of the crawler-type walking mechanism are more complex, and the overall price is much higher than that of wheeled compost turning machines with the same processing capacity, which puts significant pressure on the initial investment of small and medium-sized organic fertilizer production enterprises.
2. High and difficult maintenance costs: Wear parts such as tracks and sprockets wear out quickly, requiring frequent replacement, and the parts are expensive; at the same time, the maintenance of the crawler system requires professional tools and technicians, resulting in higher labor and time costs for daily maintenance.
3. Relatively slow operating speed: The efficiency of crawler-type movement is lower than that of wheeled machines. When rapid transfer of the operating site or long-distance movement of the equipment is required, it will affect the overall production rhythm of the bio organic fertilizer produciton line.
4. Poor adaptability to hard surfaces: Prolonged driving on hardened surfaces such as concrete and asphalt will severely wear the rubber layer of the tracks, shortening their service life, and also resulting in greater noise and vibration during movement.
