What is the process flow of the organic fertilizer pellet processing plant?
The process flow of the organic fertilizer processing plant mainly includes the following steps:
- Pretreatment: Classify, crush and screen the organic raw materials (such as livestock and poultry manure, kitchen waste, straw, etc.) to remove impurities and large foreign matter to provide qualified raw materials for subsequent processes.
- Fermentation: Put the pre-treated organic raw materials into the fermentation pile and ferment them by adding bacteria, controlling temperature and ventilation. During the fermentation process, microorganisms decompose organic matter and convert it into stable organic fertilizer.
- Crushing: Crush the fermented organic raw materials to meet the requirements of granulation and improve the utilization rate of fertilizer.
- Mixing: Mix the crushed organic raw materials to control their water content and nutrient ratio to ensure the quality and stability of the fertilizer.
- Granulation: The mixed organic raw materials are formed by an organic fertilizer granulator to make organic fertilizer granules that meet national standards.
- Screening: Screen the granulated organic fertilizer to select particles of different specifications to improve the quality and utilization rate of the fertilizer.
- Drying: Dry the sieved particles to remove excess water and meet the standard requirements for the moisture content of organic fertilizer.
- Cooling: Cool the dried granular materials to ensure that the temperature of the particles is suitable for storage and quality assurance.
- Packaging: Package the cooled granular fertilizer for easy storage, transportation and sales.
What are the raw materials needed to process organic fertilizer and compound fertilizer?
The raw materials required for processing organic fertilizer and compound fertilizer are as follows:
Raw materials for organic fertilizer
(1) Plant-based raw materials:
- Crop straw: such as corn straw, wheat straw, etc. These raw materials are rich in cellulose and organic matter.
- Plant residues: such as fallen leaves, dead branches, etc. These materials can be converted into high-quality organic fertilizer after composting.
(2) Animal-based raw materials:
- Livestock and poultry manure: such as cow dung, pig manure, chicken manure, etc. These manures can remove pathogens and insect eggs after being fully decomposed and fermented.
- Animal residues: such as leftovers from animal slaughter, etc., can also be used to make organic fertilizer after specific processing.
(3) Other raw materials:
- Domestic waste: such as kitchen waste, etc.
- Urban sludge: such as river sludge, sewer sludge, etc.
Compound fertilizer raw materials
Compound fertilizer has many raw materials. Among the three common nutrients of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, nitrogen raw materials include ammonium chloride, ammonium nitrate, urea, etc., phosphorus raw materials include diammonium phosphate, heavy superphosphate, superphosphate, etc., and potassium raw materials include monopotassium phosphate, wood ash, potassium chloride, potassium sulfate, etc.
There are many types of nutrient elements in compound fertilizer, and the total amount of nutrients is also particularly high, which can meet the main nutrient elements of crops at the same time.
- Nitrogen raw materials: such as ammonium chloride, ammonium nitrate, urea, etc.
- Phosphorus raw materials: such as diammonium phosphate, heavy superphosphate, superphosphate, etc.
- Potassium raw materials: such as monopotassium phosphate, wood ash, potassium chloride, potassium sulfate, etc.
Characteristics and application scenarios of organic fertilizer and compound fertilizer
- Organic fertilizer: mainly made of animal and plant residues and excrement, rich in organic matter, can improve soil structure and improve soil fertility. The application of organic fertilizer can slowly release nutrients, is suitable for long-term fertilization, and is suitable for various crops.
- Compound fertilizer: Contains multiple nutrients, high total nutrient content, stable and long-lasting fertilizer effect. Compound fertilizer is generally made into granules, which is convenient for storage and application, and is suitable for crops that need to quickly supplement multiple nutrients.
How do small-scale breeding farms choose suitable fertilizer processing plants?
Generally speaking, breeding farms usually need to build small organic fertilizer production lines. Nowadays, small organic fertilizer production lines have become the preferred choice of many investors. Their investment threshold is relatively low and they can bring long-term and stable returns.
Especially for small-scale breeding farms, this type of production line is undoubtedly a good choice for creating an ecological cycle. When choosing, it is recommended that you consider professional organic fertilizer equipment manufacturers, who not only provide professional site plant planning and design, installation and commissioning services, but also assist you in formulating finished products.
Next, let’s take a look at the investment cost budget for a small organic fertilizer production line.
- For an organic fertilizer production line with an annual output of 1,000 to 5,000 tons, the estimated investment is about 50,000 to 150,000 US dollars;
- If the annual output is increased to 10,000 to 20,000 tons, the equipment investment is about 100,000 to 200,000 US dollars;
- For a production line with an annual output of 30,000 to 50,000 tons, the required equipment investment is roughly between 150,000 and 500,000 US dollars.
- As for a production line with an annual output of 100,000 tons, its equipment investment may reach 200,000 to 800,000 US dollars.
It should be noted that these budgets will vary depending on the production process you choose. At the same time, the production line also has two types: granules and powders, and the price of granules is usually slightly higher than that of powders.
For example, for customers who have just started to invest in a small organic fertilizer production line, an organic fertilizer production line with an annual output of 5,000 to 10,000 tons is usually sufficient. Take 5,000 pigs as an example, they produce about 7,000 tons of organic fertilizer a year.
