Straw mixing system
The STRAW MIXING SYSTEM mechanises straw processing and wetting and controls dosing of the chicken manure and gypsum. Several models are available:
- SMALL: up to 6 tons/hour
- MEDIUM: up to 15 tons/hour
- BIG: up to 30 tons/hour
* Capacity refers to dry straw.
Straw mixing system: how it works
The STRAW MIXING SYSTEM is designed to shred the straw bales and mix the straw with the chicken manure and gypsum to prepare the champignon compost. It can also be used for additional mixing of the fermented compost.
- The straw can be loaded onto the chain shredder by means of a hopper or bucket loader. Alternatively, the whole straw bales can be positioned by means of a bucket loader on the platform where the twine is removed.
- The chicken manure is loaded into the manure hopper by bucket loader. From there, it is conveyed to the grinder where it is chopped before being added to the straw.
- In the meantime, a chain conveyor conveys the straw through a toothed drum and toothed shredder shaft, where it is mixed with the poultry manure.
- The shredded straw mixed with the chicken manure is placed on the conveyor belt which accumulates it in a mound. On the belt, (recycled) water is added and the compost is further mixed by the toothed mixer shaft at the end of the conveyor.
The defined percentages are dosed by adjusting the speeds of the chain conveyors on the shredder and poultry manure hopper.
