[0046] In the application, during work, the material to be fermented is added into the fermentation tank 1 through the feeding port on the top of the fermentation tank 1, at this time, all components are in the initial state, the required feed additive and other substances are pre-stored in the additive storage tank 4, and are ready to be added according to the requirement during the fermentation process.
[0047] The motor 3 at the top inner wall of the function box 2 is started, the output shaft of the motor 3 drives the stirring shaft 301 to rotate, the stirring rod 302 on the stirring shaft 301 starts to stir the material in the fermentation tank 1, which can realize the purpose of mixing the material uniformly and providing a good growth environment for the microbial flora.
