For modern poultry farms and large-scale organic fertilizer producers, managing manure efficiently is a critical challenge. Traditional windrow composting requires significant space, time, and is susceptible to weather conditions. The solution? A 60 cubic meter closed fermentation tank. This advanced high-temperature aerobic fermentation system represents a leap forward in speed, space-efficiency, and environmental control for converting poultry manure into high-value organic fertilizer.

What is a Horizontal Closed Fermentation Tank?

A horizontal closed fermentation tank is a fully enclosed, cylindrical vessel designed for the continuous and controlled biodegradation of organic waste. Unlike open-air methods, this system creates an optimized environment for thermophilic (heat-loving) microorganisms to rapidly decompose materials like poultry manure. The "60m³" capacity indicates a substantial system ideal for centralized processing facilities handling waste from several farms or a large single operation.

Key Advantages of a 60m³ System for Poultry Manure

Investing in a large-capacity, closed-tank system offers unparalleled benefits:

• Extremely Rapid Fermentation Cycle: The insulated, enclosed design retains heat generated by the microbial activity. This maintains a consistent high-temperature fermentation process (typically 60-70°C), which accelerates decomposition. What takes months in a windrow can be achieved in just 7-15 days, significantly increasing your output capacity. 

• Complete Odor and Emission Control: The entire process is sealed. A built-in air exhaust and biofiltration system captures and treats gases (like ammonia) and odors before release. This makes it ideal for locations near residential areas or with strict environmental regulations, solving a major pain point of poultry manure management.

• Superior Space Utilization (Small Footprint): A 60m³ tank processes a large volume of material within a compact footprint. This vertical space utilization is a game-changer compared to the extensive land required for windrow composting, freeing up valuable space for other operations.

• All-Weather, Year-Round Operation: As a fully enclosed in-vessel composter, the system is immune to rain, snow, or wind. This ensures uninterrupted production 365 days a year, providing consistent and reliable output regardless of external climate conditions.

• Automated and Labor-Saving: These systems are equipped with an automatic turning and discharge mechanism. Internal paddles or screws regularly mix the material to ensure uniform oxygen distribution and temperature, then automatically unload the finished compost at the end of the cycle, minimizing manual labor.

The design of a horizontal fermentation tank centers on six key systems:

Support Structure: Tank and frame for stability.

Mixing Agitator: Shaft and paddles for uniformity.

Temperature Control: Jacket/coils and PID for precision.

Aeration System: Filter and sparger for oxygen transfer.

CIP System: Sanitary ports for cleaning and transfer.

Control System: Sensors and PLC for automated monitoring.

The Final Product: A Consistent, High-Quality Organic Fertilizer

The material discharged from a closed fermentation tank is a stable, sanitized, and crumbly compost. The sustained high temperatures effectively eliminate pathogens, weed seeds, and parasite eggs. This final product is an excellent soil amendment, ready for direct application or for further processing into granulated organic fertilizer.

Is a 60m³ Closed Tank Right for Your Operation?

This system is ideally suited for:

• Large poultry farms seeking an on-site, biosecure waste solution.

• Commercial organic fertilizer plants aiming to scale up production.

• Operations facing space limitations or strict environmental compliance requirements.
