Success in Reducing Sawdust with the “Heaterless Hot Air Machine” for Compost Recycling! (Client: Y Farm)

Overview of Composting at Y Farm

Y Farm raises 120 dairy cows at an elevation of 600 meters above sea level in a harsh environment of -10 degrees Celsius in winter.
Dairy cattle manure has a high moisture content, so it takes time for the compost to ferment.
Using a larger amount of supplementary materials or frequently turning the compost makes it challenging to achieve complete fermentation, and in this facility, the temperature dropping below freezing in winter leads to a significant backlog of compost, causing processing issues.

Introduction of the Heaterless Hot Air Machine

Since the existing blower could be used, the cost and labor for installing a heaterless system were also reduced.

The cost of saw dust, which is used as a secondary material, has been rising in recent years, and this has had a significant impact on the business.

Now, the finished compost can be reused for bedding, which saves money and helps to maintain cow hygiene.
