The driving type and self-propelled type turners have their own characteristics in the organic fertilizer fermentation process, bringing different conveniences to fertilizer production.
In terms of working mode, the gantry crane is usually installed on a track and moves along a fixed track at the fermentation site to perform flipping operations on the materials below. It achieves mixing and flipping of materials through the movement of the vehicle and the action of the flipping device. The self-propelled type turners relies on its own power system and can freely move around the fermentation site without track restrictions. It can flexibly reach various material stacking points for flipping.
In terms of fermentation effect, the traveling stacker operates on the track with a relatively fixed flipping path, resulting in more uniform fermentation of materials stacked in long strips. But when dealing with irregularly stacked materials, there may be areas that cannot be covered. The self-propelled turning pile has high intelligence and activity, and can fully cover the materials in the site, ensuring no dead corners in fermentation and a more uniform fermentation effect.
In terms of scope of application, the gantry crane is suitable for large-scale organic fertilizer production enterprises with well-organized site planning and orderly material stacking. It can achieve efficient and stable flipping operations through track layout. Self propelled stacker is more suitable for environments with complex sites and scattered material distribution, such as some small farms or agricultural cooperatives, which can quickly adapt to different material stacking situations.
In terms of operational convenience, the operation of the gantry crane is relatively simple, only requiring control of the gantry crane's movement on the track and the lifting and rotating of the flipping device. But the installation and maintenance of the track require a certain cost and technology. The self-propelled stacker crane has strong operational flexibility, but requires high driving skills and operational experience from the operators, who need to constantly monitor the operating status of the equipment.
In terms of energy consumption, the gantry crane operates on the track with relatively low resistance and energy consumption. The self-propelled stacker needs to overcome various terrain and road conditions, with high power consumption and relatively high energy consumption.
In terms of investment cost, the price of gantry crane equipment is relatively low, but additional investment is required for rail construction. The price of self-propelled type turners equipment is relatively high, but there is no need for infrastructure construction such as tracks, and the overall investment cost varies.
When choosing, enterprises should weigh the pros and cons based on various factors such as their own site conditions, material stacking methods, operational convenience needs, and investment budget, and choose the most suitable flipping equipment.
