This question hits the core of equipment operation and is crucial! The power system of the fermentation turner is primarily divided into two major types: internal combustion engine-driven and electric motor-driven. Some large-scale equipment also adopts a hybrid power system combining both.

1. Internal Combustion Engine Drive System

Internal combustion engine propulsion is the mainstream choice for mobile windrow turners (such as crawler-type and wheeled types), with the core mechanism being the provision of power through fuel combustion.

Common models: Primarily diesel engines, with some small equipment utilizing gasoline engines.

Core Advantage: No external power supply required, highly mobile, capable of operating freely in open-air fermentation sites without grid coverage.

Applicable scenarios: Open composting areas in large organic fertilizer plants, decentralized fermentation sites in farm fields, and other situations requiring frequent relocation.

2. Electric Motor Drive System

Electric motor drive relies on external power grids or generator power supply, and the equipment operates through motor rotation.

Common models: These include asynchronous motors, geared motors, and others, often paired with reducers to adjust output speed and torque.

Core Advantages: Low operating noise, low operational costs (electricity costs are lower than fuel costs), zero exhaust emissions, stable power output, and easy to achieve automated control.

Applicable scenario: Fixed-type windrow turners (such as trough-type windrow turners), suitable for operation in workshops or enclosed factory areas with stable power grids and fixed fermentation tank positions.

3. Hybrid power system (auxiliary type)

Some high-end or large-scale equipment combines the advantages of both power sources to form a hybrid power system.

Typical Structure: The internal combustion engine serves as the mobile power source to drive the equipment between sites, while the electric motor functions as the power source for turning and mixing operations, performing these tasks at fixed locations.

Core Advantage: Balancing mobility flexibility and operational efficiency, it allows for power source switching based on scenarios to reduce overall energy consumption.

Applicable scenario: Large-scale organic fertilizer production bases requiring both internal mobility and efficient turning operations.
