Let's make organic fertilizer
Find innovative production technology for making organic fertilizer and connect directly with world-leading specialists.
Organic fertilizer production has ancient roots, tracing its origins to ancient farmers who used natural materials like animal manure, compost, and crop residues to improve soil fertility. This sustainable tradition of repurposing organic waste for agricultural benefits has endured through the ages, handed down from one generation of farmers to the next. Producing organic fertilizer industrially involves a series of steps such as extraction, granulation, drying, and employs a combination of organic fertilizer production equipment.

Upon arrival at the factory, the producers collect and mix various raw materials, storing them in bulk. Subsequently, the materials undergo a stimulating transformation, kickstarting the composting process. Precise control of oxygen levels and temperature ensures the creation of a stable product. Once ready, conveyors transport the composted materials to the dryer at a temperature of approximately 180 degrees.
After this drying stage, the raw materials proceed to the conditioner. The raw material undergoes controlled heating above 70 degrees in the conditioner, effectively eliminating all harmful pathogens. Following this critical step, the material is conveyed to the hammer mill, which is compressed into pellets measuring between 3.5 to 5 mm in thickness. The final touch is packaging, managing the final product for distribution in bags or bulk bags. This meticulous process culminates in producing high-quality organic fertilizer, ready to nourish and enrich soils, propelling agricultural success.
Drying granular fertilizer with fluid bed technology
Organic fertilizer is available in liquid and dry formulations, offering distinct advantages. Dry fertilizer, in particular, exhibits a gradual nutrient release, providing plants with nourishment over an extended period. As a consequence, it is the favored choice when dealing with extensive areas requiring fertilization.
Fluid bed dryers are generally used to dry wet granular materials in one of the last steps of the organic fertilizer production process. This fertilizer drying machine works on the principle of fluidization, whereby solid particles are made fluid. Hot air is blown in the machine to dry the wet granular fertilizer, passing air through the particles. The speed of the air lifts the product, converting it from a solid-like state to a fluid-like state. The shaking movement of the machine up and down improves this effect. At this point, the suspended product seems to be a bed of fluid. The direct contact of each particle with the hot air maximizes heat transfer and creates uniform and efficient drying.
Dried and pelleted manure as a valuable fertilizer
Poultry manure, though potent in nutrients, presents challenges with its unpleasant odor, fly attraction, and ammonia emissions, posing environmental risks. However, a transformative solution lies in drying the poultry manure, effectively enriching its nutrient value and significantly reducing odors, fly infestations, and ammonia emissions, offering a substantial ecological benefit.
Moreover, the advantages don’t end there. The drying process also reduces the weight of the manure through moisture removal, leading to reduced volume and lower transportation costs. To further enhance its value, pelleting ensures a uniform product that is easier to handle, store, and efficiently spread onto the soil, fostering a seamless and efficient agricultural experience.
How to pack your fertilizer safely?
The bagging process stands as the preferred method for packaging organic fertilizer, encompassing crucial stages of feeding, weighing, filling, and sealing. Accurate weighing and dosing are paramount to ensure consistent and precise portions of the product in each bag. Subsequently, the filling system carefully funnels the measured content into the bags.
In the packaging, safeguarding the product from external elements remains paramount. Thus, tight and secure sealing of the bags is essential. To ensure durability and resistance against corrosion, the fertilizer packaging equipment components that come into contact with the product are crafted from stainless steel.
Moreover, the welfare of operators is diligently considered, as dust emissions can pose respiratory risks. Hence, an automatic bagging process is pivotal in minimizing dust release, and maintaining a hygienic and dust-free environment, thereby safeguarding the health of those involved.
