Setting up a small organic fertilizer production line requires careful planning. Here’s a straightforward breakdown of the essentials:

Basic Requirements

1.Raw Materials: A steady supply of quality materials is crucial. Common sources include livestock manure, crop straw, food waste, and municipal sludge. Avoid materials with harmful contaminants.  

2.Space: You’ll need enough land for production equipment, raw material storage, and finished product storage. The site should be away from residential areas and water sources, with good drainage.

3.Equipment and Expertise: Essential machinery includes crushers, fermentation systems, mixers, granulators, dryers, and screening machines. Skilled operators familiar with organic fertilizer production are also needed.  

4.Funding and Policies: Budget for equipment, site setup, labor, and raw materials. Check local government incentives like subsidies or tax breaks for organic farming projects.

Equipment Checklist

1.Core Machines: Compost turning machine (for fermentation), crusher, mixer, granulator, dryer, cooler, screening machine, packing system, coating machine, and conveyor belts.

2.Costs: Equipment costs range from tens of thousands to 300,000 RMB, depending on scale and machine quality.  

3.Suppliers: Source equipment from specialized organic fertilizer machinery manufacturers.

Environmental Requirements

1.Regulations: Follow local environmental laws. Install waste gas treatment systems (such as biofilters) and wastewater treatment facilities to minimize pollution.  

2.Recycling: Repurpose agricultural waste (like straw) as fuel or energy sources first. Use leftover residues (such as biogas sludge) as fertilizer ingredients.

Cost-Benefit analysis

1. Cost composition: Including fixed asset investment, raw material procurement, operating costs and environmental protection investment. Operating costs include water and electricity costs, labor costs, equipment maintenance costs, etc.

2. Economic benefits: With the expansion of organic fertilizer market demand and government policy support, long-term economic benefits are significant. For example, an organic fertilizer production line with an annual output of 10,000 tons has an annual profit of about 2 million yuan.
