Introduction

The increasing demand for sustainable agriculture has led to the development of biological fertilizer production lines. These systems are designed to convert organic waste materials into nutrient-rich fertilizers through biological processes. This article examines the working mechanisms, key components, and stages involved in a typical biological fertilizer production line. Additionally, we will discuss solutions offered by GETC Company in enhancing production efficiency.

Key Components of a Biological Fertilizer Production Line

1. Raw Material Crusher

Breaks down organic waste into smaller pieces, typically achieving a uniform size of less than 50 mm to improve further processing efficiency.

2. Fermentation System

Includes compost turners and aerators to maintain optimal conditions for microbial activity. The temperature is usually maintained between 50°C and 65°C, with moisture levels of 50% to 60%.

3. Mixing and Grinding Equipment

Ensures homogeneous blending of the raw materials, achieving a particle size of less than 0.5 mm for ease of granulation.

4. Granulation Machine

Converts fine particles into granules with a diameter ranging from 1 mm to 5 mm, often using a rotating drum or a pan granulator.

5. Drying and Cooling Systems

Reduces moisture content to below 20% after granulation, with drying temperatures set between 60°C and 80°C.

6. Sieving Machine

Screens granules to ensure uniformity in size, with rejects either recycled back into the process or used in other applications.

7. Packaging Unit

Packs the final product into bags ranging from 25 kg to 50 kg, ensuring ease of transport and application.

Production Process

1. Collection of raw materials such as animal manure, crop residues, and food waste.
2. Crushing of raw materials to achieve desired particle size.
3. Initial fermentation for a period of 15 to 20 days to break down complex organic matter.
4. Blending and grinding to ensure uniform particle size and nutrient distribution.
5. Granulation to form easily handled and applied fertilizer granules.
6. Drying to reduce moisture content, enhancing shelf life and handling.
7. Cooling and screening to maintain product quality and consistency.
8. Final packaging and storage ready for distribution.
