Characteristics of Small Animal Manure Organic Fertilizer Production Line

fertilizer granulator Feb 20, 2024

Animal manure fertilizer making equipment processes raw materials into granular organic fertilizers through a series of processes including fermentation, crushing, granulation, drying, cooling, screening, and coating.

Chicken manure, pig manure, cow manure, sludge, etc. are treated harmless through composting and fermentation: Chicken manure and animal manure from breeding farms are mixed with filling materials in a certain proportion, such as straw powder, mushroom residue, medicinal residue, rice bran, grass powder, peanut shell powder, etc. After mixing, organic fertilizer fermentation strains are added, and the mixture is fermented and flipped. The pig manure organic fertilizer production line requires 10-15 days to mature, which can be odorless, odorless, and harmless. The compost is soft and yellow brown in color, There are gray white mycelium and about 45% organic matter in the pile. It has the functions of non-toxic and harmless, increasing yield, improving quality, promoting disease resistance and growth, fertilizing soil fertility, and improving fertilizer utilization. It is an ideal fertilizer for producing green food and developing ecological agriculture.

The characteristics of small livestock and poultry manure organic fertilizer production lines are:

1. Applicability and wide range of raw materials: suitable for direct granulation of fermented animal manure, sugar factory filter sludge, urban sludge, papermaking sludge, distiller’s grains, straw, peat and other coarse fiber organic waste with a moisture content of about 30%. It can produce pure organic fertilizer, organic inorganic fertilizer, and bio organic fertilizer with spherical particles.

2. High ball forming rate and microbial survival rate: The new process can achieve a ball forming rate of over 90-95%, and the low-temperature and high air drying technology can achieve a microbial survival rate of over 90%.

3. The process flow of organic fertilizer production line is short, and the operating cost is low. The organic raw materials used in this process do not require pre-treatment such as drying and crushing. The process flow is short, and the operating cost is low (if traditional granulation processes such as disc or drum are used, the organic raw materials with a moisture content of about 30% after fermentation need to be dried to below 13% and crushed to above 80 mesh, and the amount of organic materials added cannot exceed 30%).

Regular maintenance is required for the roller extrusion granulator to reduce roller skin wear

fertilizer granulator Feb 20, 2024

The roller is also the most easily worn accessory in the granulation operation of the roller granulator. As the main part of material granulation, the roller skin is gradually worn and produces uneven particles. How to reduce the wear of the roller granulator is the most important thing.

Severe wear on the roller surface can affect the production efficiency of the roller granulator and the particle size of the finished product. In severe cases, it is necessary to stop the machine and replace the roller surface with a new one. How to reduce material wear on the roller surface through multiple efforts during equipment use? The main reasons for severe wear of the roller skin of the roller granulator are as follows:

1. Uneven feeding can easily cause uneven wear of the roller skin.

2. It is directly related to the material of the roller skin itself. The roller skin with poor material has poor wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and short service life.

3. The surface shape, specifications, dimensions, and operating conditions of the roller can have an impact on the machine.

4. Affected by the hardness, size, and shape of the processed material. Materials that are too hard, too large, or too irregular can easily cause uneven wear of the roller skin.

The reason for the wear of the roller skin of the roller granulator is that during the physical granulation of the roller skin, the roller surface will gradually wear out. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the material is evenly fed into the granulator along the length of the roller. If the feeding is uneven, circular grooves will appear on the roller surface, affecting the normal operation of the granulator, and the product particle size is uneven. When feeding, the feeder not only needs to feed evenly and continuously, but its length should also be consistent with the length of the roller.

Long term operation of the equipment inevitably results in wear on the roller skin of the roller granulator, which requires us to regularly shut down for maintenance. If we can repair it in advance when the wear reaches a certain level, can we avoid the need to replace the new roller surface in the future?

When the roller granulator is granulating materials, the roller surface will gradually wear out, ensuring that the materials are evenly fed into the granulator along the length of the roller. If the feeding is uneven, circular grooves will appear on the roller surface, affecting the normal operation of the granulator, and the product particle size is uneven. When feeding, the feeder not only needs to feed evenly and continuously, but its length should also be consistent with the length of the roller.

The wear of the roller surface can also increase the discharge port, so it is necessary to adjust the movable roller. When adjusting, it is necessary to keep the two rollers parallel to each other to prevent tilting. A pair of roller granulator with movable rollers installed on the rocker arm or hydraulic compensation device, which automatically ensures that the axes of the two rollers are parallel when the movable rollers move.

There is a grinding wheel installed on the rack. When there are pits or grooves on the roller surface, the roller surface can be ground and repaired on the machine without removing it, or directly repaired on the roller surface. This requires the installation of a welding device on the granulator. Some roller granulators are equipped with an automatic axial reciprocating movement device for the rollers, which ensures uniform wear and tear on the roller surface.

fertilizer granulator Feb 20, 2024

The principle of drum granulation is that materials rely on surface tension, an appropriate amount of liquid phase, extrusion force generated by rolling between materials, and small particles are taken as the core in the correct movement direction of materials in the granulator to absorb large particles and adhere to small particles and form balls during rolling. The higher the rolling frequency in a certain time, the higher the balling rate and the rounder the particles are after forming. 

Working principle of rotary drum granulatorr:

The rotary drum granulator drives the belt and pulley by the main motor, drives the drive shaft through the reducer, and works opposite to each other through the open gear installed on the drive shaft and the big gear ring fixed on the body. The material is added from the feed end of the rotary drum granulator through the inside of the cylinder. Through the special structure inside the cylinder, it is made into particles, and finally outflow through the discharge port. Due to the continuous entry of materials and the continuous rotation of the rotary drum granulator, mass production of organic fertilizer production lines can be achieved.

Viewing the advantages of organic fertilizer manufacturers from trough composting

fertilizer granulator Feb 20, 2024

The compost turning machine adopts the fermentation tank mode to produce organic fertilizer. It is a kind of organic fertilizer produced by putting the raw materials in the fermentation tank. The materials are turned, stirred and broken in the tank, so that the materials can be fermented, matured and degraded. It is easier to obtain stable product performance and better odor control effect than static composting.

The process of stabilizing organic matter in cow manure through the action of aerobic microorganisms (mainly aerobic bacteria) in the rotary fermentation composting machine. During the composting process, the soluble organic matter in the feces penetrates into the cells. Microorganisms decompose and metabolize a portion of the organic matter through their own biological metabolic activities, that is, oxidize and decompose it to obtain the energy required for biological growth and activity, and convert the other portion of the organic matter into new cellular matter, enabling the growth and reproduction of microorganisms to produce more organisms.
The wheeled self-propelled composting machine for cow manure organic fertilizer is more suitable for the mechanism and process requirements of microbial fermentation and storage of manure into fertilizer. It can effectively mix thick stored manure with microbial preparations and straw powder. Not only is the fermentation speed much faster than deep tank fermentation, but it also effectively prevents the generation of harmful and odorous gases such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and indole during the fermentation process, which meets environmental requirements and can produce high-quality organic fertilizers.

Process flow of organic fertilizer production equipment for livestock and poultry manure

fertilizer granulator Feb 20, 2024

Animal manure is a relatively high-quality organic fertilizer, which contains pure nitrogen, phosphorus (P2O5), and potassium (K2O) of about 1.63%, 1.54%, and 0.085%. Livestock and poultry manure must undergo maturation with a composting agent before application, to inactivate and deodorize parasites and their eggs, as well as infectious pathogens present in livestock and poultry manure, through the process of maturation. The production process of organic fertilizer from livestock and poultry manure is closely related to the equipment configuration of organic fertilizer production lines. Generally, the complete set of equipment for organic fertilizer production lines mainly consists of fermentation system, drying system, deodorization and dust removal system, crushing system, ingredient system, mixing system, granulation system, screening system, and finished product packaging system.

Organic fertilizer production equipment for livestock and poultry manure: raw material selection (such as livestock and poultry manure) → drying and sterilization → ingredient mixing → granulation → cooling and screening → measurement and sealing → finished product storage.

The process flow of organic fertilizer production equipment for livestock and poultry manure:

1. The ratio of raw materials per ton is 500 kilograms of pig manure (or other animal manure), 300 kilograms of auxiliary materials, 200 kilograms of bacterial residue, and 100 grams of RW bacterial agent;

2. Stacking, according to the above raw material ratio, according to the needs, the stacking length is unlimited, with a width of 4 meters and a height of 2 meters. When stacking materials, it is necessary to stack them layer by layer evenly;

3. Add the bacterial agent, expand the volume of the bacterial residue in a 1:5 ratio, mix evenly, and sprinkle it on the surface of the pile according to the number of piles;

4. Stir and ferment, use a blender to stir the pile evenly. After the temperature rises to 60 degrees Celsius or above, flip the pile every 4-5 days. After 15 days of fermentation at 60 degrees Celsius or above, fold the pile up;

5. Screening processing, fermentation is carried out according to the above steps, and after screening and deep processing, it becomes pure organic fertilizer;

6. Granulation refers to the granulation of fermented pure organic fertilizer. Choose granulators based on different raw materials, such as disc granulators, extrusion granulators, and integrated extrusion ball throwing machines;

7. Drying, cooling, and packaging: Newly made particles have a relatively high moisture content and need to be dried to below 20% of the organic fertilizer standard. The dried particles of organic fertilizer are cooled by a cooling machine before being directly packaged.
