Chicken manure is made into fertilizer granules, which is the mainstream way for many small and medium-sized organic fertilizer factories in China to achieve stable profits. In the first line of production, there will always be various troubles during chicken manure pelletization: wet chicken manure is difficult to form, there are many broken particles, and the yield is high and low, and the appearance of the fertilizer is poor. Many factories have met the standards of various indicators of raw materials, but the finished product rate is low, and the loss of raw materials is serious. To make good chicken manure pellets, you need to match the equipment with standardized operation. The following article summarizes the complete solution that the factory can use for stable production.

Real Difficulties of Chicken Manure in Fertilizer Pellet Production

The material characteristics of chicken manure itself are special, with high water content and soft texture, which is very different from the granulation performance of dry raw materials such as straw. This is also the core reason for frequent failures in the process of chicken manure pelletization. Below, we will sort out the production pain points brought by the materials one by one, so as to facilitate the understanding of the solution logic of the subsequent supporting equipment.

High Humidity Causes Unstable Pellet Formation

When the water content of chicken manure is too high, the overall texture is soft, and it is easy to deform during the rolling forming process. There is no way to produce regular particles stably, and it is difficult for workers to control the effect of granulation every day.

Fine Texture Leads to High Powder Rate

After fermentation, the texture of chicken manure is fine and loose, and it is difficult to form a ball with enough cohesion. A large amount of fine powder will be produced at the end of granulation, and the final qualified finished product will have fewer particles.

Ununiform Fermentation Degree Affects Granulation

Some of the chicken manure from the same batch was fully fermented, while others were not fully decomposed. The viscosity and hardness of materials with different maturity are different, which directly disrupts the stable rhythm of chicken manure pelletization.

Traditional Granulation Equipment Cannot Adapt

Ordinary granulation equipment is mostly designed for dry and hard materials, and cannot be adapted to wet and soft chicken manure. The adjustable space of the old equipment is small, and the problem of repeated failure of granulation occurs.

Common Defects in Conventional Chicken Manure Pelletization

Most factories have a large loss of chicken manure pellets, and most of the problems are not due to worker errors, but rather due to the mismatch between the equipment and the chicken manure. It summarizes the high-frequency production problems in the domestic and foreign organic fertilizer workshop, and fits the real production line situation.

> A Large Number of Broken Pellets After Molding

The newly formed chicken manure granules themselves have weak toughness, and the old equipment has a large pressure. The granule forming and falling process is very easy to crack, causing the chicken manure raw material to be wasted.

> Uncontrollable Pellet Size Difference

The quality of each batch of chicken manure will change slightly, and the adjustable range of traditional equipment parameters is limited. The size of the particles produced is random, which affects the appearance and quality stability of the fertilizer.

> Easy Material Adhesion Affects Continuous Production

Wet chicken manure has strong stickiness and easily sticks to the inner wall of the equipment. Workers need to stop the machine frequently to clean it. Repeated shutdowns disrupt the production rhythm and reduce the overall daily output of chicken manure pelletization.

> Low Finished Product Rate Restricts Output

Broken grains, powder, and irregular particles occupy a large amount of raw materials. Even if the chicken manure raw material is sufficient, the qualified production capacity cannot meet the order requirements.

Why Disc Granulator Is Ideal for Chicken Manure Pelletization

Among all the organic fertilizer granulator equipment on the market, the disc granulator is the most suitable for chicken manure pelletization with soft and high-moisture material. The equipment relies on natural rolling and agglomeration to form balls, and specifically solves the two major pain points of difficult chicken manure forming and many broken particles.

• Natural Rolling Agglomeration Forms Round Pellets

The material continues to roll in the inclined disc, and the finely ground chicken manure piles up in layers. Depend on the physical agglomeration method, stable output the surface round and regular fertilizer particles.

• Gentle Processing Avoids Pellet Damage

The disc granulator relies on gravity to roll into shape, without high-strength extrusion. The chicken manure granule is mild in stress, which greatly reduces the problem of chicken manure granule breakage.

• Adjustable Angle and Speed Adapts Wet Manure

The staff can flexibly adjust the inclined angle and rotation speed of the disc to adapt to the current humidity and thickness of the chicken manure. It is still possible to maintain stable granulation when the raw material fluctuates.

• Continuous Feeding Fits Mass Production

The disc granulator can feed evenly and continuously throughout the day to complete granulation. Large fertilizer factories can achieve uninterrupted chicken manure pelletization, raising the daily total output.

Standard Processing Steps for Stable Chicken Manure Pelletization

In order to ensure the long-term stability of the quality of chicken manure pellets, a fixed and repeatable production process needs to be established. The following set of steps is simple and easy to understand, and can be directly used by overseas fertilizer factories.

1. Control Raw Material Moisture Before Granulation

Check the moisture content of chicken manure before feeding, and mix dry auxiliary materials to adjust the humidity if the raw material is too wet. Water stability is the basic condition for smooth chicken manure pelletization.

2. Mix Auxiliary Materials to Improve Viscosity

Adding clay, humus, and other auxiliary materials in proportion to chicken manure can improve the ability of materials to form clusters. The material is easier to agglomerate in the disc, and the final powder is less.

3. Adjust Disc Parameters According to Materials

Combined with the dry and wetness of chicken manure, adjust the disk inclination and rotation speed. Generally, the greater the humidity, the smaller the angle of the disc needs to be adjusted. Parameter matching is in place, which can effectively prevent particle deformation and uneven size.

4. Uniform Feeding and Circulating Granulation

The chicken manure is evenly and steadily transported throughout the process, and the fine powder separated by the sieve is returned to the disc for secondary granulation. Recycling of powder materials to improve the overall output of chicken manure pelletization.

The worker adjusts the amount of spray water in real time according to the particle forming state in chicken manure pelletization.

• Regularly Check Scraper and Disc Wear

After long-term operation of chicken manure pelletization, the scraper plate and the disc lining plate will be worn out and aged, and the wear is severe, making it impossible to clean the adhesive material. Regularly check and replace the accessories to ensure that the surface is cleaned and the effect of chicken manure pelletization is stable.

• Classify Pellets to Ensure Uniform Finished Products

At the end of the chicken manure pelletization process, a screening device is used to grade the particles according to their size. Materials that are too large or too small are returned for rework in chicken manure pelletization. Only particles with qualified and uniform size will be put into the warehouse as the final product of chicken manure pelletization
