Reasonable treatment and utilization of cow manure is crucial for the sustainable development of agriculture. And the composting cow dung is a key step in converting cow dung into organic fertilizer, which accelerates the fermentation of cow dung and improves the quality of fertilizer. What’s more, cow dung composting equipment not only helps to improve soil fertility, but also plays an important role in environmental protection. Therefore, the production process of composting cow manure has important practical value.
What’s the price of cow dung composting equipment?
The cost of a cow dung composting system varies depending on your processing capacity, automation level, site layout, and selected equipment. For a standard setup, prices typically range from $30,000 to $150,000. Small-scale systems with basic turning machines cost less, while fully automatic composting lines with fermentation tanks and belt conveyors cost more. Below, we’ve listed estimated prices based on different configurations:
The Price Of Large/Small Scale Of Cattle Waste Compost System.
Usually, the higher the capacity, the higher the price of the cow dung production is. And here is a rough price range of different scales.
In addition to the price of the equipment itself, transportation costs, installation and commissioning costs, you should also consider the operation and training costs. Because the price will change with the market and suppliers, and you need to refer to the actual quotation.
The price of high and low automatic deegree of compost machine.
High Automatic Degree Compost Machine.
The in-vessel fermentation tank offers a highly automated and enclosed solution for cow manure composting. Its price ranges from $30,000 to $110,000, depending on capacity. This system automatically controls temperature, moisture, and oxygen. It produces compost in just 7–15 days, with minimal odor. If you have limited space or face strict environmental regulations, this compact fermenter is an ideal choice.
Low Automatic Degree Composting Machine.
There are also cow dung compost machine cost lower than automatic compost system.The crawler-type compost turner costs between $4,000 and $8,000. It is designed for windrow composting, either outdoors or under a roofed structure. Unlike the fully automated fermenter, this machine requires one operator during composting. However, it offers excellent flexibility, high turning efficiency, and strong adaptability for medium to large-scale operations.
In addition to the factors you need to consider, selecting a cow dung manure system also requires considering the cost of any additional options and accessories. Welcome to consult YUSHUNXIN to get the suitable cow manure composting equipment.
Moisture content is critical for microbial activity. Insufficient water limits microbial growth, while excessive moisture reduces oxygen circulation, leading to anaerobic conditions and unpleasant odors. The optimal water content for cow dung is 50%–60%. Before composting cattle dung, you can use the solid-liquid seperator to dewatering manure. At the same time, YUSHUNXIN’s compost machines come equipped with a water spraying system, allowing you to maintain the ideal moisture level by adding water as needed.
After pre-treatment, you should pile the manure into long strips or mounds in a well-ventilated, rain-protected area. And the height of the pile usually should not exceed 1.5 meters. Then you can use a groove compost turner or a moving type compost turner to help you compost cow dung. During composition, you should turn the heap regularly to ensure the oxygen supply. At the beginning stage, you should turn the materials every 2-3 days. As the compost temperature rises, you can extend the turning intervals to maintain efficiency.
Also, incorporating suitable microbial strains can enhance compost quality and shorten fermentation time. Recommended strains include actinomycetes, photosynthetic bacteria, and yeasts. Spread them evenly over the cow manure following the formula ratios provided in the instructions to achieve optimal fermentation results.
In addition to the methods mentioned above, you should control the temperature at 50℃~65℃ in the process of cow dung composting. And during the process, you can add water and fungicide according to the real condition.
In addition, YUSHUNXIN also provide our best service for you that we can answer every question you asked. And if there is any problem with the machine, we will solve it immediately. In conclusion, choosing our company is the best choice for you to compost you materials.
