Which is more durable: an organic fertilizer double axis mixer or a horizontal mixer?

 Organic fertilizer double axis mixers are generally more durable than horizontal fertilizer mixers. The difference in durability stems from differences in structural design and stress characteristics.

The core structure of a twin-shaft mixer consists of two high-strength, wear-resistant alloy mixing shafts, paired with thickened blades and a sturdy frame. During operation, the two shafts rotate in opposite directions, dispersing the impact force of the material in both directions. This results in slower wear of components, making it particularly suitable for processing organic materials with high moisture content and high viscosity (such as composted livestock and poultry manure and biogas residue). Even when dealing with material clumping and sticking to the walls for extended periods, it is less prone to shaft deformation or blade breakage. The overall machine has a low failure rate and a longer service life.

Horizontal mixers mostly have a single-shaft ribbon structure. The stress on the mixing shaft and ribbon is relatively concentrated. If used for long-term mixing of high-viscosity, high-hardness materials, the ribbon is prone to wear, deformation, and weld cracking.  Furthermore, the cylinder wall of a horizontal mixer has a large contact area with the material, and after long-term use, the cylinder wall is easily corroded or worn thin, affecting the stability of the equipment. However, if the horizontal mixer is used to process low-viscosity, low-moisture materials (such as organic-inorganic compound fertilizer raw materials), its durability can meet conventional production needs.

In summary, in organic fertilizer production, if the focus is on processing difficult materials and achieving long-term continuous and stable operation, the durability advantage of the twin-shaft mixer is more prominent. If the material properties are simple and the production intensity is low, the horizontal mixer can be a cost-effective choice, but it requires more frequent component inspection and maintenance to extend its service life.

Maintenance points of organic fertilizer equipment

Image
  The maintenance of  organic fertilizer equipment  is the key to ensure its long-term stable operation. The following are some key points of  organic fertilizer equipment   maintenance: 1. Regular cleaning: The residue and dust on the equipment should be cleaned regularly during the use of the equipment, especially in the transmission parts and sealing parts, to avoid premature wear and failure of the equipment. 2. Lubrication maintenance: Add lubricating oil to the transmission parts and friction parts of the equipment regularly to reduce the coefficient of friction and ensure the normal operation of the equipment. 3. Fastening check: Check whether the connection bolts, nuts and oil drain plugs are loose to ensure the stability and safety of the equipment. 4. Electrical performance testing: Regularly test the electrical system, including power supply voltage, power plug and socket, etc., to ensure the normal operation of the electrical system. 5. Temperature m...

Promoting effect of organic fertilizer equipment on straw fermentation

Image
  The promoting effect of  organic fertilizer equipment   on straw fermentation is mainly reflected in the following aspects: 1. Improve fermentation efficiency:  Organic fertilizer production line   through high temperature fermentation and mechanical flipping, accelerate the decomposition of cellulose, hemicellulose and other organic materials in straw, shorten the fermentation cycle. 2. Optimize fermentation conditions: By adjusting temperature, humidity and other parameters, fermentation conditions can be further optimized to improve the quality and yield of organic fertilizer. 3. Reduce pests and diseases: In the fermentation process, high temperature can kill pathogens, weed seeds and roundworm eggs in the straw, and produce bioorganic fertilizer with strong stability and complete nutrient types. 4. Improve soil structure: Organic fertilizer is rich in organic matter and a variety of trace elements, which can significantly improve soil structure, enhance s...
