Frequently Asked Questions
Can MAXTON customize composting and fermentation equipment for my project?
Yes. MAXTON supports custom engineering for capacity, footprint, feeding and discharge design, automation level, voltage standard, corrosion-resistant materials, and installation requirements. This helps B2B buyers match equipment to site conditions, feedstock characteristics, and project goals.
How much does industrial composting equipment or a fermentation tank price usually depend on?
Industrial composting equipment price depends on daily treatment capacity, automation level, installation conditions, corrosion-resistance requirements, and feedstock type. MAXTON provides factory-direct pricing for drum composters, horizontal fermentors, and vertical fermentation tanks based on your project specifications.
What is the primary purpose of an industrial Drum Composting Machine?
A MAXTON Drum Composting Machine is a professional-grade equipment designed for the turning, mixing, and aerobic fermentation of organic waste. It uses drum rotation to ensure uniform material blending, significantly reducing odors, leachate, and greenhouse gas emissions. It is well suited to organic fertilizer projects that require rapid deployment and high feedstock flexibility.
What types of waste can the MAXTON Drum Composter process?
The equipment offers strong adaptability and can process a wide range of organic materials, including animal manure, agri-waste, food waste, wood waste, and municipal solid waste (MSW).
What defines a Horizontal Fermentor?
A Horizontal Fermentor is an enclosed, horizontally oriented organic waste treatment system designed for harmless processing and batch fermentation. It emphasizes thermal control and processing efficiency, typically featuring an adjustable temperature range of 60-100°C to eliminate pathogens and insect eggs within about 10 hours.
What is the typical treatment cycle for an MHF-series Horizontal Fermentor?
According to MAXTON technical specifications, the typical fermentation cycle for a horizontal fermentor is 7-10 days. Depending on the model, ranging from MHF-3F to MHF-30F, the daily treatment capacity for raw materials with 30%-85% moisture content varies from 7 to 16 tons.
What are the core advantages of a Vertical Fermentation Tank?
The primary value of a Vertical Fermentation Tank lies in its high space efficiency, superior thermal insulation, and advanced automation. Its vertical structure minimizes the footprint, while the polyurethane insulation layer and heat exchange design support stable, energy-efficient operation year-round, including outdoor installations.
How does the Vertical Fermentation Tank achieve energy-efficient operation?
The MAXTON Vertical Fermentation Tank reduces energy consumption through an integrated heat exchange and hot-air circulation system that recovers waste heat during the process. The polyurethane insulation layer also helps maintain stable fermentation temperatures in winter or other cold environments.
What is the difference between a Drum Composter and a Sealed Fermentor (Horizontal/Vertical)?
A Drum Composter focuses on turning, mixing, and aerobic composting for projects that require installation flexibility and diverse feedstock handling. In contrast, sealed fermentors prioritize precise temperature control, sanitization efficiency, and environmental containment, making them better suited to standardized projects with strict odor control and process stability requirements.
Which equipment is best suited for livestock farms with limited space?
For projects with restricted site area, the Vertical Fermentation Tank is usually the optimal choice because of its minimal footprint. For example, the MHF-120F model provides a fermentation volume of 120 m3 while requiring a base area of only about 7500 x 8000 mm.
What are the moisture content requirements for MAXTON fermentation equipment?
MAXTON equipment is highly compatible with varying moisture levels. Both horizontal and vertical units maintain stable processing capabilities for materials with 30%-85% moisture content, producing organic fertilizer raw materials with a final moisture content of 50%-70%.
Do these composting and fermentation systems support automated management?
Yes. The vertical and horizontal fermentors are equipped with control electrical cabinets and hydraulic driving systems for a high level of automation. This reduces manual labor while helping standardize core parameters such as temperature and ventilation.
