Fermentation Technology of Horizontal Fermentation Tanks for Cow Manure Organic Fertilizer Equipment

Industry News May 8, 2026

Modern Operational Advantages

Under the new model, cow manure organic fertilizer fermentation tanks are no longer restricted by geography and can be effectively utilized even in high-altitude and alpine regions. In terms of operation, the system has achieved modernization and automation; material lifting is fully automated, requiring only one person to operate the entire unit.

Working Principle and Characteristics

The cow manure fermentation tank employs high-temperature aerobic fermentation technology. It boasts several advantages, including:

Rapid decomposition and thorough degradation of organic matter.

Fast dehydration speed and high dehydration rates.

Short fermentation cycles and uniform fermentation.

Effective elimination of weed seeds, pathogens, and parasites (eggs) within the manure.

Superior deodorization effects.

This method represents an approach to obtaining high-quality organic fertilizer that focuses on resource recycling, harmless treatment, and energy conservation.

Process Control System

The process control of the fermentation tank is categorized into analog control, digital (on/off) control, and interlinked parameter control. Key control parameters include:

Temperature, pressure, flow rate, and agitation speed.

Liquid level, pH value, and Dissolved Oxygen (DO).

Exhaust O₂ and Exhaust CO₂ levels.

Mycelial density and conductivity during CIP (Clean-in-Place).

Equipment Structure

1.Agitation System: Consists of the base, agitation shaft, agitation blades, hydraulic station, agitator tray, push plates, and a lubrication system.

2.Ventilation System: Includes bottom ventilation, vortex blowers, induced draft fans, and deodorization tanks (spray equipment).

3.Heating System: Features electric heating and a secondary circulation system for extracting hot air to reuse for heating.

4.Tank Body: The interior is lined with 3mm thick 304 stainless steel. The tank is equipped with an insulation layer, ensuring the outer wall remains cool to the touch throughout the year.
