Transforming organic waste into a valuable resource is the next frontier in sustainable livestock farming. This shift is critical for pig, cattle and poultry farms to effectively manage the large quantities of manure produced daily.
Sangil Tech Co. Ltd. turns what was once an environmental and logistical headache into a valuable resource with its Tower Compo composting system. Its vertical, enclosed, high-speed fermenter converts livestock manure into nutrient-rich compost, making the process simpler, faster and more cost-effective. Farms can enhance efficiency while reinforcing environmental responsibility.
“Our product helps farms save time and money, making waste management more environmentally friendly,” says Sang-taek Jeong, CEO.
No two farms are alike. They differ in moisture levels, manure composition and microbial activity. Sangil Tech’s system is designed to adapt to specific farm conditions through customization, serving diverse livestock operations and facilities like liquid fertilizer distribution centers, slaughterhouses and food processing plants. Irrespective of the environment, the system eliminates expensive and labor-intensive manure management practices and eases storage and disposal concerns.
As the largest livestock environment machinery manufacturer in Korea, Sangil Tech has successfully installed over 1,000 composting systems in many countries including South Korea, Japan, Vietnam and India, with high satisfaction rates among customers. Its commitment extends beyond installation, offering tailored solutions, hands-on training and after-sales support to ensure maximum benefits to clients. Farms can expect a full return on investment—including product cost, installation and electricity within 3.5 years to 5 years, depending on the machine operation environment, moisture content, cost of electricity and compost selling price.
Why Tower Compo?
The Tower Compo is an eco-friendly, cost-effective solution that enhances efficiency while reinforcing environmental responsibility.
The cost of waste disposal and treatment are rising, placing a significant financial strain on livestock farms. Prolonged manure storage also causes serious environmental and health risks. Unpleasant odor creates discomfort for farm workers and nearby communities, while the accumulation of toxic gases like ammonia and methane exacerbates carbon emissions. The risk of infectious diseases, such as bird flu and foot-and-mouth disease, can restrict the transport of manure offsite, further complicating waste management.
Sangil Tech’s range of solutions includes Tower Compo X (KX), Tower Compo S (KS), and Tower Compo R (KR).
Each effectively addresses these challenges and varies in fermenter capacity, bucket weight, body weight, and power consumption to meet different operational needs.
When manure enters the composting system, microorganisms naturally break it down through a high-temperature fermentation process that evaporates moisture. Unlike solutions that require external microbes, the Tower Compo harnesses the microbial activity already present in livestock manure, eliminating the need for costly additives and reducing operational costs.
The system is designed to overcome the typical limitations of traditional composting methods. Open-core agitators emit strong odors and can impact the surrounding environment. Sangil Tech’s enclosed design eliminates the need for expensive deodorizing equipment, making it a far more effective solution. The amount of compost discharged is reduced to 25-30 percent of the input, which drastically reduces transportation costs.
Another key advantage is space efficiency. Traditional agitators require significant installation and operational space, which is not feasible for farms with limited land. The Tower Compo’s compact, vertical design requires only a 5x5-meter footprint, allowing for easy implementation and operation.
The vertical structure also enhances moisture management. Excess moisture naturally drains downward, ensuring even distribution and ideal fermentation conditions throughout the system, even with high-moisture manure. Balanced moisture control minimizes the risk of fermentation failure, accelerates processing time, and delivers consistent results.
The design also enhances aeration. Compared to horizontal mixers, the Tower Compo’s vertical layout has a denser placement of stirring blades. Air is distributed evenly throughout the manure, boosting microbial activity and accelerating decomposition. The result is a high-quality final product.
One Solution, Many Benefits
Farms using the Tower Compo report significant improvements in efficiency and hygiene. Immediate manure processing prevents the infestation of insects such as flies. By streamlining operations, the system creates a cleaner, more manageable environment for both livestock and workers.
The Tower Compo also plays a crucial role in biosecurity. External manure collection vehicles often introduce disease from other farms. Farmers can drastically reduce this threat by managing on-site waste.
During African swine fever outbreaks, farms using Sangil Tech’s composting system experienced a notable advantage. While neighboring farms suffered devastating losses, those using a Tower Compo safeguarded their livestock and operations, ensuring business continuity despite the crisis.
Beyond operational efficiency, the system creates a new revenue stream. Some farms are offsetting operational costs through sales of nutrient-rich compost. This presents a particularly lucrative opportunity in regions or countries where compost and organic fertilizers are widely used.
Advanced Solutions Backed by Expertise
With 20 years of experience in fermentation and composting, Sangil Tech equips clients with the knowledge to optimize system efficiency. By stressing proper operation, it ensures long-term performance and sustained benefits.
When investing in a Tower Compo system, clients experience a seamless transition from installation to full-scale operation. Engineers install and provide hands-on training, ensuring users can operate it effectively and economically. This process typically spans two weeks— one week for installation and another for comprehensive training.
“We focus on sharing our extensive knowledge and expertise with our clients, helping them implement effective manure management solutions that optimize their operations,” says Jeong.
Regular maintenance is key to sustaining the system’s efficiency. Periodic lubrication of mechanical components, such as shafts and gears, enhances durability. Air inlets need to remain clear for fermentation efficiency. Internal inspections are crucial to maintaining peak performance of the system.
For clients requiring additional support, Sangil’s dedicated after-sales team ensures prompt assistance. With the largest service network in Korea and local sales reps trained for after-sale servicing, responsive support is provided anywhere a Sangil Tech composting system is installed and operated.
Proven Excellence, Trusted Worldwide
Sangil Tech has been growing for almost two decades, through expertise and customer trust and recommendations. To drive continuous improvement, it established a dedicated technology development research institute focused on advancing composting solutions.
This commitment to innovation is reinforced by a strong manufacturing foundation. With three production facilities, Sangil Tech maintains a reliable supply chain and optimal inventory levels. This enables faster response times to customer needs while ensuring uninterrupted operations.
While the systems represent a premium investment, clients recognize their superior durability, efficiency and long-term cost benefits. The advanced technology and significant operational improvements make Sangil Tech a valuable choice for farms seeking to enhance sustainability and productivity.
Sangil Tech Co. Ltd.’s global impact, built on a foundation of an optimized production system and deep technical know-how, reinforces its reputation—positioning it as a trusted partner in livestock environment machinery.
