About of Cow Manure Fertilizer Production line

The cow dung organic fertilizer pellet production line is a complete system that transforms cow dung into standardized, high-value-added granular organic fertilizer through physical, biological, and mechanical processing. Its core goal is to achieve "reduction, harmlessness, and resource utilization" of cow dung. This not only addresses manure pollution issues in the livestock industry but also provides high-quality organic fertilizer for crop production, meeting the needs of green agricultural circular development.

Core Equipment for the Cow Dung Organic Fertilizer Production Line:

1. Pretreatment: Solid-Liquid Separator (Reduces Moisture Content to 60%-65%), Pulverizer (Pulverizes to 20-40 Mesh), Mixer (Precisely Mixes Auxiliary Materials);

2. Fermentation: Trough/Rotary Turner (Controls Temperature at 55-65°C, Sterilizes and Composts), Screener (Screens Uncomposted Materials);

3. Further Processing: Rotary Dryer (Reduces Moisture Content to 10%-15%), Countercurrent Cooler (Cools to Room Temperature);

4. Forming: Ring Die Pelletizer (1-5 tons per hour, Hard Pellet), Flat Die Pelletizer (For Small and Medium-Sized Use, Low Cost);

5. Finished Product Processing: Screener (Ensures Particle Size), Automatic Packaging Machine (Packages to Specifications).


Application Areas

1. Agricultural Planting: Field Crops (reducing fertilizer use, improving soil quality), Cash Crops (increasing fruit sweetness, meeting organic standards);

2. Horticultural Facilities: Greenhouses (reducing soil-borne diseases, preventing salinization), Home Gardening (gentle and root-free);

3. Forestry Ecology: Seedling Cultivation (stimulating root growth, increasing survival rates), Ecological Restoration (improving saline-alkali land and assisting vegetation recovery).

How is works

Cow manure organic fertilizer production line process flow:

1. Raw Material Pretreatment: Remove impurities and adjust the moisture/carbon/nitrogen ratio. A separator reduces the moisture content of fresh cow dung from 70%-80% to 60%-65% (optimal moisture content for composting). Remove straw, stones, and plastic from the dung to prevent damage to subsequent equipment. Add sawdust, rice hulls, or urea to adjust the carbon/nitrogen ratio.

2. Aerobic Composting: Microorganisms decompose organic matter, rendering it harmless. A turner regularly turns the compost to maintain a temperature of 55°C-65°C, killing pests.

3. Secondary Crushing: Finely refines the composted material to ensure uniform pellets. This prevents hollow or broken pellets during pellet forming.

4. Ingredient Mixing: Customize nutrient ratios to improve fertilizer efficiency. A scale is used to add auxiliary materials, such as monoammonium phosphate, potassium sulfate, and humic acid, as needed. Mixing uniformity is maintained at ≤5%, ensuring consistent nutrient content in each pellet.

5. Pellet Forming: Press the mixed material into pellets. Depending on production capacity and pellet requirements, you can choose from a double-roll extruder granulator, disc granulator, or rotary drum granulator.

6. Cooling and Drying: Reduces pellet temperature and moisture, extending shelf life.

7. Screening and Grading: Qualified pellets are screened and the scrap is recovered. Qualified pellets proceed to the next stage, while the scrap is returned to the "secondary crushing" stage for recycling. Screening efficiency is ≥90%.

8. Finished Product Packaging: Standardized packaging facilitates storage and transportation. Common packaging sizes include 25kg/bag, 50kg/bag, or ton bags.


Product Advantage

Advantages of the Cow Dung Organic Fertilizer Production Line:


1. High Raw Material Utilization:

Converting waste cow dung into high-quality organic fertilizer achieves resource recycling and reduces environmental pollution.

2. Excellent Product Performance:

Granular organic fertilizer maintains stable nutrients, resists nutrient loss, is easy to store and transport, and spreads evenly during use.

3. High Production Efficiency:

The automated production line enables continuous operation, integrating raw material fermentation and crushing, granulation, and drying, reducing labor costs.

4. Environmental Compliance:

Deodorization and solid-liquid separation processes during the production process reduce odor and pollutant emissions, meeting environmental standards.

5. Strong Market Adaptability:

Granular fertilizer is suitable for large-scale agriculture, horticulture, and other applications, meeting the nutrient needs of different crops and offering high economic value.

FAQ

Cow Manure Fertilizer Production line

1. What is the core difference between a cow manure organic fertilizer production line and a pig manure production line? Does custom equipment need to be customized?

The core difference is that cow manure has a high fiber content and a low water content. Therefore, a complete custom equipment set is not necessary, but some adjustments may be required: pretreatment requires the addition of a "secondary crushing" device to break down the coarse fibers to less than 10mm; a high-torque model should be selected for the fermentation turning machine; the existing granulator can be used, but the die aperture needs to be slightly adjusted. The overall equipment modification cost is approximately 10%-15% of the original production line.

 

2. How long does it take for cow manure to ferment and mature? Compared to pig manure, which is faster? 

Answer: Due to its high fiber content, cow manure has a slightly longer fermentation cycle than pig manure: natural composting takes 25-35 days, which can be shortened to 12-18 days using a high-temperature aerobic fermentation tank. Pig manure, on the other hand, ferments naturally for about 15-30 days, while tank fermentation takes 7-10 days. To speed up cow dung fermentation, you can crush the fibers finer during pretreatment and increase the frequency of turning, which can shorten the cycle by 3-5 days.

 

3. Is it easy for fibers to clog equipment during cow dung processing? How can this be avoided? 

Answer: If pretreatment is inadequate, coarse fibers can easily clog equipment like grinders and granulators. This can be avoided by three methods: First, use a two-stage crushing process (coarse and fine crushing) during pretreatment; second, install a "grid screen" at the grinder feed port; and third, use a vibrating screen for secondary screening before granulation to remove unbroken coarse fibers. Regularly cleaning the equipment feed port can reduce the probability of clogging to less than 5%.

 

4. Is it common for cow dung to be "partially under-composted" during fermentation? How can I ensure uniform composting?

Answer: Because cow manure has densely interwoven fibers, it's easy for the outer layer to become mature while the inner layer remains uncomposted. This requires three optimizations: First, control the height of the composting pile to 1.2-1.5 meters to increase air permeability. Second, when using a trough-type turning machine, ensure that the turning reaches the bottom of the pile to prevent accumulation. Third, sample the manure on the 7th and 14th days of fermentation. If the temperature in any area falls below 50°C, turn the manure individually to replenish the bacteria and ensure a uniform composting rate of at least 95%.

 

5. Besides cow manure, can the production line process other high-fiber livestock and poultry manure? How should this be adjusted?

Answer: It can process high-fiber manure, such as sheep and horse manure. When processing sheep manure, because the fibers are finer, a single crushing step can be reduced to less than 8mm, shortening the fermentation cycle to 10-15 days. When processing horse manure, because the fibers are harder, the crusher needs to be replaced with a "wolf tooth crusher." The amount of inoculant added during fermentation can be increased, while other equipment and processes do not require significant adjustments, achieving "one machine for multiple processes."
