A bio-organic fertilizer production line turns organic waste into effective fertilizer. Getting the key steps right is essential.
1.Raw Material Pre-Treatment
Keep moisture between 50-60%. Add bulking agents if it's too wet.
Use a crusher to break large chunks down to 3-5 cm pieces.
Mix raw materials to achieve a carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio of 25-30:1.
Ensure thorough mixing for optimal fermentation later.
2.Fermentation Process
Pile Building: Make piles 1.2-1.5 meters high and 2-3 meters wide for good airflow.
Temperature Control: Check pile temperature regularly. Keep the high-temperature phase (55-65°C) going for at least 5-7 days.
Turning: Turn the pile using a compost turning machine whenever temperature goes over 70°C. Do this every 2-3 days usually.
Moisture Control: Maintain 50-60% moisture during fermentation. Add water if needed.
Duration: Fermentation typically takes 15-30 days. It's done when the material has no foul odor and turns dark brown.
3.Post-Processing
Crushing and Screening: Crush the material to the required fineness and screen out any undecomposed bits.
Adding Functional Microbes: Inoculate with specific microbes like nitrogen-fixing or phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria, depending on the product.
Granulation: Adjust the fertilizer granulator settings to produce uniform, strong-enough particles.
Low-Temperature Drying: Dry at temperatures ≤80°C to protect the beneficial microbes.
Packaging and Storage: Use moisture-proof bags and store in a cool, dry place.
Mastering these key steps helps producers make better quality fertilizer more efficiently, saving energy and costs, giving them an edge in the competitive market.
