Walking Compost Turner (Self-Propelled)
The Walking Compost Turner is a compost turners machine engineered by YUSHUNXIN for Small and mid-size farms, New organic fertilizer projects and Contractors turning scattered windrows. It is used for open windrow composting, small-scale manure fermentation, mobile turning for multiple sites. Standard models cover roughly 200-350 m3/h to 400-600 m3/h capacity. No rails or civil works needed - a mobile, self-propelled turner that moves between windrows and sites.

Working principle of the Walking Compost Turner
Step 1
Raw manure or organic waste is formed into windrows or loaded into grooves / tanks
Step 2
The turner lifts, mixes and aerates the pile for aerobic fermentation
Step 3
Oxygen and temperature are controlled for fast, odor-reduced composting
Step 4
Mature compost is discharged for crushing, screening and granulation
Model options & specifications
| Model | Type | Power | Capacity | Dimensions | Weight | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| YSX-WK-2 | 2 m walking | 15-22 kW | 200-350 m3/h | by model | by model | Small farm |
| YSX-WK-3 | 3 m walking | 22-30 kW | 300-450 m3/h | by model | by model | Mid-size |
| YSX-WK-4 | 4 m walking | 30-37 kW | 400-600 m3/h | by model | by model | Large mobile turner |
How to choose a model
Models are sized by throughput. Pick the model whose rated capacity is closest to your target output with 15–20% headroom. If your project falls between two models, our engineers will recommend the most economical option — oversizing is rarely the cheapest answer.
Technical parameters
Reference specifications for Walking Compost Turner — final values are confirmed in your technical proposal.
| Type | Self-propelled walking turner |
| Working width | 2-4 m |
| Turning depth | 0.8-1.5 m |
| Capacity | 200-600 m3/h |
| Power | 15-37 kW |
How to read these parameters
- Capacity is the reference throughput under typical material conditions. Choose a model with 15–20% headroom above your target output so moisture, bulk density and operating hours do not bottleneck the line.
- Power indicates the installed drive. It determines your site power supply and running cost; tell us your voltage and frequency (e.g. 380V/50Hz, 415V/50Hz, 440V/60Hz) so we match the motor package.
- Dimensions affect workshop space, door clearance, foundation, packing and container loading. For project orders confirm site dimensions and transport route before we finalize the layout.
- Every model can be adapted: voltage/frequency, contact material (carbon steel, 304 or 316 stainless steel) and Siemens PLC control are available on request.

How we guarantee every machine
Quality is a process, not a label — every YUSHUNXIN machine passes the same five checkpoints before it leaves the factory.
Incoming material inspection
Steel plates, motors, reducers, bearings and electrical parts are checked against brand and specification on arrival.
Fabrication & welding inspection
Shell thickness, welding quality, alignment and surface finish are inspected at each station during fabrication.
Assembly & alignment check
Shafts, gears, rollers, frames and drives are aligned and checked before electrical hook-up.
No-load test run
Every machine is test-run no-load; speed, vibration, noise and temperature are recorded on the test sheet.
Packing & pre-shipment check
Export packing, spare-parts list and documents are double-checked, with photos/video before dispatch.
Packing, delivery and after-sales
Export packaging
Machines are packed for sea freight: steel-frame or plywood cases, anti-rust treatment, waterproof film and clear marking.
Worldwide delivery
FOB, CIF, CFR or door-to-door options; we prepare packing lists, commercial invoices and shipping marks for customs.
Installation & commissioning
Site drawings and assembly guidance are included; on-site engineer supervision is available for complete lines.
Operator training
Manual and video in your language, plus remote guidance via WhatsApp/email during commissioning.
Spare parts support
Long-term supply of wear parts — rollers, dies, blades, screens, nozzles, bearings, reducers, sensors, motors and more.
Warranty & after-sales
12-month machinery warranty and responsive after-sales support from our engineering team.
Why the price varies — and how to get an accurate quote
We do not publish list prices because every fertilizer project is different. This is exactly what makes the difference:
Model & capacity
Larger capacity and heavier construction raise machine cost — but usually lower cost per ton.
Contact material
Carbon steel is standard; 304/316 stainless steel costs more but suits corrosive or food-grade material.
Automation level
Manual, semi-auto and full Siemens PLC control change both price and operating manpower.
Branded components
Standard brands, value package (+8–10%) or premium package (+12–15%) for motors, gearboxes and bearings.
Quantity & packaging
Single machines, complete lines, export packing and spare-parts kits are quoted separately.
Destination & lead time
Freight, port, customs documents and requested delivery time affect the final quotation.
