For modern livestock producers located near residential zones or under strict environmental oversight, traditional open-air manure composting is no longer viable. Open windrow piles occupy vast land areas, emit intense ammonia odors, and suffer during rain and winter freezes.
Our sealed vertical livestock manure composting machine offers an eco-friendly, zero-odor aerobic fermentation tower that converts dewatered cattle, pig, and horse dung into premium organic fertilizer in just 7 to 10 days.
Our enclosed composting vessel combines thermal insulation with forced aeration to create an optimal environment for aerobic thermophilic bacteria:
Dewatered livestock manure mixed with carbon bulking agents (sawdust, straw meal) is loaded into the top of the tower. Specialized aerobic bacteria multiply rapidly, driving internal temperatures up to $60^\circ\text{C}–75^\circ\text{C}$. This heat kills weed seeds, parasite eggs, and pathogenic bacteria within 24 hours.
The entire process occurs inside a sealed, double-layer polyurethane insulated stainless tower. Exhaust gases pass through an integrated biological deodorization scrubber, removing $99\%$ of ammonia and unpleasant odors before release into the atmosphere.
Built-in sensors continuously monitor temperature and oxygen levels. Hydraulic mixing arms rotate periodically while high-pressure blowers inject air, ensuring uniform aerobic digestion without cold spots or manual turning.
Our vertical composting tanks come in modular sizes to match various farm capacities:
| Model Volume (m3) | Daily Manure Input (m3) | Suitable Farm Head Count | Motor Power (kW) | Required Footprint |
| $30\text{ m}^3$ Tank | $3.0 – 5.0\text{ m}^3 / \text{day}$ | ~300 Dairy Cows / 1,500 Pigs | 15 kW | $15\text{m}^2$ |
| $80\text{ m}^3$ Tank | $8.0 – 12.0\text{ m}^3 / \text{day}$ | ~800 Dairy Cows / 4,000 Pigs | 22 kW | $25\text{m}^2$ |
| $120\text{ m}^3$ Tank | $12.0 – 18.0\text{ m}^3 / \text{day}$ | ~1,200 Dairy Cows / 6,000 Pigs | 30 kW | $35\text{m}^2$ |
| $150\text{ m}^3$ Tank | $18.0 – 25.0\text{ m}^3 / \text{day}$ | ~2,000 Dairy Cows / 10,000 Pigs | 37 kW | $45\text{m}^2$ |
$90\%$ Land Area Savings: Vertical design consumes a tiny fraction of the land area required by conventional composting yards.
Weatherproof 365-Day Operation: Polyurethane thermal insulation enables smooth, high-temperature fermentation even in freezing $-20^\circ\text{C}$ winter climates.
Automated One-Touch Operation: Siemens PLC controls allow automated feeding, temperature logging, and discharging with minimal labor.
A: Raw livestock manure should be pre-dewatered (using our screw press separator) to achieve an input moisture level of $50\%–60\%$.
A: No. After initial electric pre-heating at startup, the biological aerobic decomposition of organic matter generates all necessary heat naturally ($60^\circ\text{C}+$), keeping energy consumption low.
