Do you know? China produces over 3 billion tons of livestock and poultry manure every year. If not handled properly, it not only pollutes the environment but also causes a huge waste of resources. Processing animal manure into organic fertilizer can solve environmental problems and create economic value, killing two birds with one stone. So how to turn stinky feces into high-quality organic fertilizer? What key equipment is needed? Lets explore the truth.
Fermentation process: the core of organic fertilizer production
Fermentation is the soul of organic fertilizer production and directly affects the quality of the finished product. According to different production scales, various flipping and throwing equipment can be selected. Small scale breeding farms are suitable for hand-held or walking flipping machines, which are flexible and convenient to operate; Medium sized enterprises can use track or groove type flipping machines, which have high automation and stable efficiency; Large organic fertilizer factories should choose disc or chain plate equipment, specifically designed for high viscosity materials, with even flipping and less clumping.
For areas with strict environmental requirements, intelligent fermentation tanks are a good choice. These fully enclosed devices integrate temperature control, oxygen supply, and stirring functions, shortening the fermentation cycle to 7-10 days, reducing energy consumption by 30%, and effectively preventing odor leakage. The multi-level temperature control system can accurately regulate the fermentation temperature, ensuring the killing of pathogenic bacteria and weed seeds while retaining beneficial microbial activity.
Powder organic fertilizer production line: simple and efficient
The production process of powdered organic fertilizer is relatively simple, with the core consisting of three major steps: efficient crushing, precise screening, and intelligent packaging. The front-end of the production line is equipped with a forklift feeder to achieve automatic feeding, greatly reducing manual labor intensity. The vertical crusher is responsible for crushing the fermented raw materials to a particle size of less than 5mm, with uniform and adjustable particle size.
The drum screening machine is the key to quality control, which can effectively separate coarse and fine particles and ensure that the purity of the finished product meets the standards. The packaging process adopts a powder packaging machine, combined with a belt conveyor and PLC control system, to achieve the full process operation of quantitative weighing and automatic bagging. This type of production line requires relatively small investment and is suitable for small and medium-sized farms or startups.
Granular organic fertilizer production line: higher added value
The market demand for granular organic fertilizers is strong, with higher added value, but the corresponding equipment configuration is also more complex. In addition to the crushing and screening equipment in the pre-processing stage, a professional batching and mixing unit is also required. The batching machine can accurately mix various raw materials according to crop needs, while the horizontal mixer ensures even mixing.
The granulation and drying unit is the key to the production of granular fertilizers. The granulation rate of the rotary drum granulator can reach over 95%, while the disc granulator is more suitable for large-scale continuous production. The subsequent drying and cooling machines control the particle moisture content to be below 12% to ensure stable product quality. The particle screening machine screens qualified products, and unqualified particles can be returned for re granulation, greatly improving the utilization rate of raw materials.
The high-end production line is also equipped with a coating machine and an intelligent packaging system. The coating process can improve the glossiness and moisture resistance of particles. The automatic packaging machine, combined with the palletizing machine, achieves full automation from measurement, sealing to stacking.
