The Solution

We began by putting pencil to paper, sketching out designs and identifying key elements that needed to be addressed. One of the biggest challenges was dealing with such a dry product chicken manure mixed with sawdust which required applying thousands of cubic meters of water to the windrows of material to facilitate the composting process. Additionally, we needed to process thousands of tonnes or cubic meters at a time, which presented another obstacle: the sheer scale of the operation would typically require an extremely large machine. To overcome this, we focused on designing an efficient, tractor-drawn machine that could handle the significant volume without the need to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in a much larger unit. Our goal was to achieve high productivity while maintaining cost-efficiency, making the process scalable for our needs and adaptable for others facing similar challenges.
