How to Make Use of Chicken Manure from Small-scale Farms?

According to the research, there are 13.4-18.8 kJ of total energy in the dry matter of chicken manure per kilogram, and the nitrogen content is 30-70 grams. In addition, chicken manure also contains nitrogen-containing non protein compounds. Usually, they are in the form of uric acid and ammoniates.

In addition, all kinds of amino acids in chicken manure are relatively balanced. There are 5.4 g lysine, 1.8 g cystine and 5.3 g threonine per kilogram of dry chicken manure, which are higher than the contents of corn, sorghum, soybean cake and cottonseed. Its B group vitamin content is also very high, especially vitamin B12, as well as various trace elements. It is said that the feces of 1000 chickens a year are equivalent to the crude protein content of 25 tons of peas.

So, how to set up a chicken mnaure fertilizer making plant?

1. According to the situation of large-scale chicken farms and the amount of breeding, estimate the approximate annual production.
2. According to the local site conditions, we can choose to stamp the ground windrows or build grooves for composting process.
3. Select corresponding organic fertilizer equipment to assist.
4. Prepare raw materials, auxiliary materials and chicken manure fermentation bacteria for aerobic composting and fermentation. After three days of tossing, the smell of chicken manure has completely disappeared. After seven days, harmless treatment can be completed, after 15 days, fermentation into high standard organic fertilizer.

The common treatment methods of chicken manure are as follows:

1. It can be dried directly and sold as organic fertilizer raw material, which is very simple.
2. As bio organic fertilizer, adding bacteria fermentation has simple equipment and less investment.
3. Chicken manure was processed by organic fertilizer manufacturing equipment.

The technological process of chicken manure organic fertilizer production line: semi wet material grinder → horizontal mixer → granulator → dryer → cooler → screening machine → packaging machine and other related equipment. Materials are transported between the equipment by belt conveyor or screw conveyor.

How to Maintain the Organic Fertilizer Packing Machine?

Organic fertilizer packaging is the last process of organic fertilizer manufacture line and an indispensable part of organic fertilizer production process. If there is a problem, it will lead to a large number of organic fertilizer semi-finished products, affecting production. Therefore, it is very important to do the necessary operation inspection for the packaging machine before each startup.

The following points should be done well in the maintenance of organic fertilizer automatic packaging scale:

  1. The controller and sensor in the components of organic fertilizer automatic packaging scale are precision instruments. Vibration and collision must be avoided during transportation and use. It is strictly forbidden to work in the environment of direct sunlight, close to heat sources, humid places, places with poor ventilation, and near strong magnetic field sources.
  2. The working voltage and frequency must meet the technical requirements of the controller. It is not allowed to share a knife switch with other equipment. The controller casing shall be separately grounded for protection (zero line protection is not allowed).
  3. The complete and effective fastening bolts of the metering bucket ensure that there is no virtual connection and collision between the metering bucket and the fixed frame.
  4. Turn the “manual / automatic” change-over switch to the “manual” position, and check whether the direction of feeding and discharging belts is correct (whether the valve solenoid valve is closed) by manual control mode. If not, please switch any two-phase wires of the reverse belt conveyor.
  5. Confirm the empty bucket, and then turn on the power supply of the controller. After the initial self inspection of the controller, the main display weight is 0. Otherwise, the unloading and clearing should be carried out manually to ensure the accuracy of the zero point of the system.
  6. Place a known weight on any part of the batching hopper, such as a bag of 50kg, the main display should be 50kg. If it is found that the weighing is not accurate, it is necessary to re calibrate it to ensure that the system is accurate.

How does the Screw Fertilizer Conveying Machine Work?

Screw fertilizer conveyor is the most economical and space saving solution for conveying powder or granular fertilizer from low position to high position. When discharging bulk materials from silos and hoppers, conveying or feeding equipment may be discharged vertically into a  weighing hopper, one or more multiphase bins or silos, or other conveyors or conveying systems.

The rotating spiral blade moves the material and carries on the screw conveyor transportation. The force that makes the material not rotate with the screw conveyor blade is the material weight and the friction resistance of the screw conveyor shell to the material.

For spiral blades welded on the rotating shaft of screw conveyor, the surface types of blades include solid surface, belt surface, blade surface, etc. A thrust bearing is provided at the end of the screw shaft of the screw conveyor in the direction of material movement to give the axial reaction force to the screw along with the material.

When the length of the machine is long, the middle hanging bearing should be added. Screw conveyor is generally composed of conveyor body, material inlet and outlet and driving device; screw blade of screw conveyor has three forms: solid spiral surface, belt type spiral surface and blade spiral surface. Among them, blade type spiral surface is relatively less used, mainly used for conveying materials with high viscosity and compressibility.

This type of screw suspension surface, in the process of completing the conveying operation, is the same with and complete the material mixing and other functions. Compared with other conveying equipment, screw conveyor has the advantages of small cross-section, good sealing performance, stable and reliable operation, multi-point loading and unloading, safe operation and easy maintenance.

Notes on the Use of Cow Manure Composting Machines

Cow dung is rich in nutrients, which is a kind of high-quality organic fertilizer. The feed intake of cattle is not fully digested and absorbed. About 40% – 70% of the nutrients are discharged from the body. Therefore, the nutrients of cow dung in all livestock manure are high. Dried cow dung contains 10% – 20% crude protein, 1% – 3% crude fat, 20% – 30% nitrogen-free extract and 15% – 30% crude fiber. Organic fertilizer produced by composting of dry cow dung. It can fluffy the soil, improve the soil hardening, chelate the trace elements in the soil, and improve the soil fertility.

It is a good method to produce organic fertilizer by fermentation of cow dung by biological aerobic fermentation technology. In order to produce organic fertilizer by fermentation of cow manure, it is necessary to add biological fermentation agent and flip the materials. Therefore, it is necessary to use the composting machine. So what should be paid attention to when using the turning machine?

  1. The oil tank of composting machines should be refuelled before use, and it should be noted that the oil should be moderate and not overfilled.
  2. Add grease regularly at the oil filling hole marked on the body of the turning machine, but oil should be applied to the chain part instead of grease.
  3. Operators regularly check the belt tightness of the turning machine. If the belt is too loose, it will lead to the difficulty of ignition.
  4. Operators should regularly check the use of screws and blades of the turning machineto ensure the normal operation of the turning machine.
  5. The operator of cow dung fermentation turning machine should move forward at a constant speed with small throttle during the material turning process, and can not operate with large throttle.
  6. The cow dung turning machine can not be hard started, it should be started outside the material, otherwise it is easy to burn out the motor and cause machine failure.

High Performance of Fertilizer Composting Machine

 

According to the production principle of organic fertilizer and the particularity of organic fertilizer raw materials, organic fertilizer must go through a biological fermentation and maturity cycle before it can become a qualified organic fertilizer.

Bio organic fertilizer compost turner is a kind of  fertilizer machine which can make the pollutants such as poultry manure, agricultural waste, filter mud, sludge and domestic garbage into green environmental protection and improve soil quality through the principle of oxygen consumption fermentation. It can be heated in one day, deodorized in 3-5 days, sterilized (can completely kill the eggs and other pathogens in feces), and become fertilizer in seven days. It is faster and more efficient than other mechanical fermentation methods.

Features of Organic Fertilizer Compost Turner:

  1. The whole machine has the advantages of balanced power, low energy consumption and large output, which reduces the production cost of bio organic fertilizer.
  2. The overall structure of the design is reasonable, the performance is safe and reliable, easy to operate, strong applicability to the site, easy to use and maintain.
  3. It has the advantages of short fermentation cycle, saving space and high quality of deep processing (especially granulation).

Technological Effect

The advanced technology of aerobic fermentation has created a better growth environment for microorganisms. It can heat up in one day, deodorize, sterilize in two days (can completely kill the avian influenza virus in feces), dry in three days, and become fertilizer in seven days. It is not only faster than other mechanical fermentation methods, but also has higher efficiency, and can effectively prevent the odor gas in the fermentation process It is an essential special machine in fertilizer making operation.

Rubber Plate, an Ideal Lining Material for Drum Granulator

The main problem of traditional manual wet granulation is the serious loss of nitrogen caused by adding water, especially when the local nitrogen fertilizer varieties are mainly carbon and ammonia. In addition, it is also required to solve the problem of high efficiency mechanical granulation to promote the deep application of ball fertilizer in large area.

For a long time, many compound fertilizer manufacturers have been troubled by the high viscosity and corrosivity of materials, the adhesion and corrosion of cylinder in the production of fecal based compound fertilizer, ammonia acid compound fertilizer and monoammonium phosphate granulation. Therefore, in order to effectively prevent the material from sticking to the wall and caking, and to prevent the material from corroding the cylinder wall, we have been working hard to research new products.

After a lot of efforts and continuous testing, we have finally successfully trial produced the drum granulator. Furthermore, the efficiency and performance of the granulator in the production of different fertilizer granules were successfully tested, and the problem of nitrogen loss was basically solved. Compared with manual granulation, the efficiency of mechanical granulation is increased by 60 or 70 times, so as to promote the deep application of ball fertilizer in large capacity.

In order to prevent the compound fertilizer material from sticking and corroding the inner wall of the granulator, the rubber lining material must meet three requirements. Firstly, the rubber plate must be acid and alkali resistant to solve the corrosion problem; secondly, since the material generates chemical heat during the reaction process of the tubular reactor, when the material reaches the cylinder wall, the material temperature is still 100-150 ℃, so the rubber plate must have good heat resistance. The maximum heat resistance temperature of chloroprene rubber is 160 ℃, which meets the requirements; thirdly, the elasticity of rubber plate must be used to prevent the material from sticking, The structural design should be reasonable.

Technology of Dry Granulation Equipment

Mechanism: under the strong extrusion force, the solid powder in the closed space is compressed, and plastic deformation occurs, which makes the solid particles occlude, destroy and rearrange each other, and compact to form the particles with the required shape. The specific gravity of the particles is close to the true specific gravity of the material.

The flake materials are crushed, pelleted and sieved to obtain the granular products meeting the requirements of particle size; while the block materials are determined by the concave shape of the dry fertilizer pelleting machine, which can be directly packaged or stored after removing a small amount of flash and entrained powder after screening. The extrusion pressure between the two rollers can be adjusted by the pressure of the hydraulic cylinder according to the needs of granulation operation.

Main features:
(1) the plastic deformation of solid particles under the action of extrusion force forms the rearrangement and combination of particles;
(2) there is no need to add binder;
(3) no drying is needed in the subsequent process.

Main equipment:
The main types of operation equipment are: roller type extrusion granulator, flat die granulator.

Notes on Cow Dung Granular Fertilizer Making

In order to solve a series of problems caused by a large amount of cow dung, it is better to compost and pelletize cow manure to make it become organic fertilizer, so as to create more benefits for economy, society and environment.

At present, the most common and valuable processing method is to convert cow dung into marketable organic fertilizer. Cow dung is a waste produced by cattle. It has high levels of organic matter and rich nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, as well as many other essential nutrients. According to the data, cow dung contains 12.9%DM and excretes 0.15kg N, 0.04kg P and 0.08kg K per day. In addition, cow dung also contains high levels of ammonia, which can almost kill the growth of pathogens. Once the raw cow manure is composted by a professional composting turner, it can provide many benefits for plants and organic farms, which makes cow dung a very popular and useful raw material for organic fertilizer production.

As one of the most important sources for the preparation of effective biological / organic fertilizers, cow manure residues should be collected first. Heavy cow dung should be mixed with organic matter such as dead leaves, sawdust, wood ash, hay and straw. The mixed cow dung is then composted and fermented better through composting. After full composting, the cow dung is transferred to the crusher for crushing to ensure the smooth granulation process. Remember to choose the right organic fertilizer granulator according to the manure composting and production scale.

Generally, in order to facilitate packaging and storage, rotary dryer will be used to evenly dry the particles and eventually produce a uniform and high-quality final product. Finally, ShunXin Fertilizer Machinery also provide automatic packaging machines to achieve efficient, automatic and convenient organic fertilizer packaging and bagging solutions.

Working Principle and Advantages of Disk Fertilizer Granulator

  • How does the Disc Granulating Equipment Work?

The material and binder can be thoroughly mixed before entering the pelletizer. This produces a uniform mixture and uniformly disperses the binder.

Most of the moisture required to form the fertilizer balls can be added during the mixing process (in the form of adhesives), so it does not need to be done in the granulator, which can be a long process. Therefore, in many cases, the use of the mixer prior to the pan pelletizer usually increases productivity.

The pre conditioned material is densified by the motion exerted by the mixer. Because this densification is achieved by mixing, less binder is required to produce the same densification, thereby reducing the cost of the binder.

After conditioning, granulation will continue. For processes that do not use preprocessing steps, this is where the process begins. Here, the material is fed to the pelletizer at a continuous rate, and the binder is continuously added to it. Because of the adhesive, the fine powder of the material is sticky. When the granulating pan rotating, it will pick up more fine powder when it drops by its own weight. Its growth mode is similar to that of snowball.

Once the granules have reached the required size, they leave the pelletizer and are transported to the drying equipment by belt conveying machine.

 

  • Advantages of disc granulating machine:

Its structure is simple and easy to operate and maintain. In particular, since the fertilizer balls in the granulating disc can be directly seen, the replacement and adjustment are convenient and quick.

Low price, small installation area. At the same output, the price of the disc granulator in ShunXin Machinery is two-thirds, and the installation area required is about half of that of other kinds of fertilizer granulators.

It has classification effect. When the required granularity is reached, it will automatically eject from the edge of the disc. The particle size of the product is relatively uniform.

The product has high particle strength and good quality. Due to the gradual increase of pellets in rolling and falling process, it is not easy to be crushed and has smooth surface.
