Fertilizer Granulator Machine

From chicken manure in Southeast Asia to municipal sludge in Europe, the raw materials feeding today's organic fertilizer lines are anything but uniform — and that's exactly what shapes how we design our fertilizer granulator machines. Over the years, we've commissioned pellet production projects across more than 60 countries, and the one thing every successful plant has in common is equipment matched to the actual feedstock, moisture content, and output target of that specific site.

Our fertilizer granulator machine range was built around exactly practical decisions: output volume, pellet density, raw material consistency, and what the end market demands. Whether you're running a 500 kg/h composting operation or planning a 20 t/h commercial organic fertilizer facility, the equipment configuration looks very different. Browse through our full product series below — models, specs, application examples, and real project references are all here.

Core Components

Siemens Drive Motor

Heavy-Duty Main Shaft Bearings

The ring die runs under continuous radial load. Bearings here are sized for that specific stress pattern, not generic replacements. Typical service intervals run 2,000–3,000 hours under normal organic material loads.

Forced Feeder System

Siemens-Sourced Drive Motor

Torque stays consistent even when feedstock moisture shifts mid-run. Less thermal buildup, fewer unexpected stops during long production shifts.

Advanced Ring Die Design

Advanced Ring Die Design

Machined from alloy steel with compression ratios selected by material type. Die hole geometry directly affects pellet density and surface hardness — not something to standardize across all feedstocks.

Stainless Steel Feeding System

Forced Feeder & Arch-Breaking System

A screw feeder pushes material into the die chamber at a controlled rate. The arch-breaking device above it prevents compacted or sticky organic material from bridging in the hopper and blocking feed flow.

Most ring die failures in organic fertilizer applications come down to three things: wrong die spec for the material, drive systems that can't handle load variation, and bearings that were never rated for continuous heavy-duty use. Each fertilizer granulator machine we build is configured around the actual feedstock — compression ratio, die thickness, and motor sizing are not fixed defaults. Customers processing high-fiber agricultural residues need a different die geometry than someone running composted sludge at 35% moisture. We've worked through enough of these combinations across projects in South Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe to know which configurations hold and which ones don't make it past the first 500 hours.

Fertilizer Granulator Machine Projects

8T/H Livestock and Poultry Manure Fertilizer Production Line in Paraguay

● Paraguay

8T/H Livestock and Poultry Manure Fertilizer Production Line in Paraguay

A livestock operation running mixed poultry and pig manure needed a processing system that could handle variable feedstock composition without constant die changes. The client had been stockpiling manure with no viable outlet — this line converted that waste stream into bagged granular organic fertilizer sold to local crop farms.

The complete system included pretreatment, drying, a fertilizer granulator machine, cooling, screening, and bagging. Output runs at 8 t/h on granular product. This project is a typical example of a mid-sized farm operation transitioning from waste disposal to fertilizer sales.

10-15 T/H Chicken Manure Fertilizer Production Line in USA

● USA

10-15 T/H Chicken Manure Fertilizer Production Line in USA

A large-scale poultry producer in the US was generating volumes of chicken manure that exceeded local land application limits. The solution was a commercial fertilizer line producing dried, granulated organic fertilizer for broader market distribution.

Raw material is fresh chicken manure at 60–70% moisture, processed through a full drying and granulation system. The fertilizer granulator machine in this line handles post-drying material at controlled moisture levels. Final product is sold through agricultural distributors across multiple states.

5-6 T/H Organic Fertilizer Production Line in Australia

● Australia

5-6 T/H Organic Fertilizer Production Line in Australia

An Australian agricultural business processing mixed organic waste — including animal manure and composted plant material — needed a compact line that could run with a small on-site team. The client's priority was pellet consistency for retail packaging.

The line runs at 5–6 t/h and produces uniform granular organic fertilizer for the retail garden and farm supply market. Equipment footprint was kept compact to fit within an existing shed structure, with minimal civil work required.

6T/H Cow Manure Fertilizer Pellet Production System in Romania

● Romania

6T/H Cow Manure Fertilizer Pellet Production System in Romania

A Romanian cattle farm with a herd of over 2,000 head was managing slurry disposal as a cost center. Converting that material into sellable fertilizer pellets changed the economics significantly — the processing line paid back within the first two seasons based on fertilizer sales alone.

Raw material is cow dung at 65–75% moisture, processed through solid-liquid separation, composting, drying, and granulation. The fertilizer granulator machine is configured for the lower fiber content typical of cattle manure. Output is sold to neighboring crop farms under a simple supply agreement.

10T/H Chicken Sheep Cow Manure Fertilizer Line in New Zealand

● New Zealand

10T/H Chicken Sheep Cow Manure Fertilizer Line in New Zealand

This New Zealand client runs a mixed farming operation with poultry, sheep, and cattle — three manure types with different moisture levels, fiber content, and nutrient profiles. The line was designed to process them either separately or as a blended feedstock depending on seasonal availability.

At 10 t/h, the system produces both granular and powder organic fertilizer. The fertilizer granulator machine handles the blended input after composting and drying. This kind of multi-feedstock configuration is something we've done across several projects where farms manage more than one livestock type.

9-10T/H Sludge Cow Dung Organic Fertilizer Production Line In Argentina

● Argentina

9-10T/H Sludge Cow Dung Organic Fertilizer Production Line In Argentina

A waste management company in Argentina secured a contract to process municipal sludge alongside cow dung from nearby feedlots. The challenge was blending two materials with very different moisture and nutrient profiles into a consistent granular product.

The line runs at 9–10 t/h and includes sludge dewatering, blending with cow dung, fermentation, drying, and granulation. The fertilizer granulator machine here is set up for blended organic inputs with moderate fiber content. End product is sold to soy and corn farms in the surrounding agricultural zone.

10 T/H Pig Manure Compost Powder Production Line in Russia

● Russia

10 T/H Pig Manure Compost Powder Production Line in Russia

A Russian pig farming group wanted a powder fertilizer line rather than granular — lower capital cost, simpler process, faster route to market. The output is bagged compost powder sold directly to local farms and garden centers.

Raw material is composted pig manure processed through crushing, screening, and drying. No granulation stage on this line — powder product only. At 10 t/h this is one of the larger powder-only organic fertilizer lines we've supplied, and it demonstrates that not every project needs a fertilizer granulator machine — sometimes powder output is the right commercial decision.

10-12T/H Organic Fertilizer Production Plant In Ecuador

● Ecuador

10-12T/H Organic Fertilizer Production Plant In Ecuador

An Ecuadorian agricultural cooperative processing banana plantation waste and animal manure needed a line sized for cooperative-scale output — enough to serve member farms and generate surplus for external sale.

The plant runs at 10–12 t/h producing granular organic fertilizer. Raw materials include composted banana residues blended with poultry manure, which required specific die selection to handle the mixed fiber and moisture profile. Product is distributed to cooperative members at subsidized rates, with surplus sold commercially.

3T/H Laying Hen Manure Fertilizer Production Line in Afghanistan

● Afghanistan

3T/H Laying Hen Manure Fertilizer Production Line in Afghanistan

A poultry operation in Afghanistan running laying hens was looking for a small, low-maintenance fertilizer line that local operators could run without specialized technical staff. Machine simplicity and spare parts availability were the main selection criteria.

The line processes fresh hen manure through drying and granulation at 3 t/h. The fertilizer granulator machine in this project is the FZLH350 model, selected for its straightforward operation and accessible maintenance. Granulated product is sold to vegetable farmers in the surrounding region.

8T/H Organic Waste Fertilizer Production Line in Brazil

● Brazil

8T/H Organic Waste Fertilizer Production Line in Brazil

A Brazilian environmental services company processing organic municipal waste — food scraps, market waste, and green cuttings — needed a line that could handle inconsistent feedstock composition. Material quality varies week to week depending on collection routes.

The line is designed with buffer composting capacity before granulation, which stabilizes the feedstock before it reaches the fertilizer granulator machine. Output is 8 t/h of granular organic fertilizer certified for use in organic agriculture. The client sells under contract to certified organic farms in São Paulo state.

6T/H Straw Animal Manure Powder and Granular Organic Fertilizer Production Line in Ukraine

● Ukraine

6T/H Straw Animal Manure Fertilizer Production Line in Ukraine

A Ukrainian agribusiness processing wheat straw and mixed livestock manure from its own farming operations runs both powder and granular product lines on the same site. Powder goes to bulk buyers, granular to retail-packaged sales.

The system handles straw at 15–20% moisture blended with composted manure. High fiber content in the straw required specific ring die configuration on the fertilizer granulator machine to maintain pellet integrity. At 6 t/h the plant is mid-sized but produces two product formats, which broadens the client's sales channels considerably.

4T/H Organic Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant in Netherlands

● Netherlands

4T/H Organic Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant in Netherlands

A Dutch company operating in the circular agriculture space processes digestate from a nearby biogas plant into granular organic fertilizer. The feedstock is nutrient-dense but high in moisture, requiring significant drying capacity before granulation.

The line runs at 4 t/h of granular output. Given Netherlands regulatory requirements for organic fertilizer composition and labeling, the process includes nutrient testing integration at the screening stage. Product is sold to Dutch and Belgian horticulture operations.

5-6T/H NPK Fertilizer Processing Line in Thailand

● Thailand

5-6T/H NPK Fertilizer Processing Line in Thailand

A Thai fertilizer manufacturer wanted to add an NPK compound fertilizer line alongside its existing organic product range. Raw materials include potassium chloride, urea, and monoammonium phosphate blended with organic matter at varying ratios depending on crop-specific formulations.

The line runs at 5–6 t/h producing compound fertilizer pellets for rice, sugarcane, and cassava cultivation. NPK processing requires different die pressure settings compared to pure organic material — the fertilizer granulator machine configuration on this line is calibrated for the denser, more abrasive compound inputs.

6T/H Pig Manure Poultry Litter Fertilizer Production Plant in France

● France

6T/H Pig Manure Poultry Litter Fertilizer Production Plant in France

A French waste processing contractor handling manure collection from pig farms and poultry houses across a regional area built this line to consolidate processing in one location. Raw material arrives from multiple sources, so feedstock consistency management was built into the process design.

The plant processes pig manure and poultry litter at 6 t/h, producing granular organic fertilizer sold through agricultural input distributors. Odor control and enclosed processing were required under French environmental permitting, which shaped the plant layout and equipment selection.

Large-Scale 50% Moisture Chicken Manure Bio-Organic Fertilizer Production Line in Poland

● Poland

A Polish poultry group processing fresh chicken manure at 50% moisture needed a line that could handle high-moisture input without pre-drying at the front end. Reducing early-stage energy consumption was a specific project requirement.

 

The process routes high-moisture manure through biological fermentation before mechanical drying, which reduces the thermal load significantly. The fertilizer granulator machine receives material at controlled moisture after drying. Final product is certified bio-organic fertilizer sold to Polish and German crop producers.

15-20T/H Organic Waste Fertilizer Plant in Indonesia

● Indonesia

15-20T/H Organic Waste Fertilizer Plant in Indonesia

One of the larger organic fertilizer plants we've supplied in Southeast Asia, this Indonesian facility processes municipal organic waste and agricultural residues for a regional waste management operator. Both granular and powder product lines run simultaneously.

At 15–20 t/h combined output, the plant supplies granular fertilizer to plantation companies and powder product to bulk buyers in the local farming sector. Two fertilizer granulator machines run in parallel on the granular line to achieve target capacity while maintaining maintenance flexibility.

A bamboo manufacturer expanded into renewable energy production. Our engineered biomass pellet machine line processes tough bamboo fiber into high-calorific pellets for export and industrial use.

Even the most challenging materials can become profitable products - our technical solutions handle unique biomass characteristics.

 
 

Across more than 60 countries, we've supplied complete fertilizer production lines to livestock farms, municipal waste operators, food processing companies, and agricultural cooperatives. In most of these projects, the fertilizer granulator machine is one part of a larger system — we typically deliver full granular or powder fertilizer lines covering organic fertilizer, compound fertilizer, and NPK processing. The cases above are a cross-section of what we've built: different raw materials, different output targets, different industries, but the same core question every client started with — what do I do with this material, and can I turn it into something sellable?

○ RICHI MACHINERY

From Raw Material to Finished Fertilizer

The fertilizer granulator machine is one part of the process. What goes before and after it determines whether the whole line actually works. We supply complete fertilizer production lines — granular organic fertilizer lines, powder organic fertilizer lines, NPK compound fertilizer lines, and modular systems for drying, batching, and blending. Every line is configured around the client's actual raw material, moisture content, plant dimensions, and budget. Some process stages are fixed. Others depend entirely on what you're processing and what product you need at the end.

biomass pellet machine plant design

Your Customized Production Flow

A complete line typically runs through crushing, mixing, composting, drying, granulation, cooling, screening, and packaging — but which stages your line actually needs depends on what you're starting with. Fresh chicken manure at 65% moisture follows a completely different process path than dry straw blended with composted cow dung, and the equipment at each stage changes accordingly.

From initial consultation through equipment manufacturing, installation, commissioning, operator training, and spare parts supply — we cover the full working life of the line.

Every line we quote is configured around the client's actual raw material, process requirements, and site conditions — so the price range for any given capacity reflects real variation, not a rough estimate. The figures below are based on thousands of design proposals and quotations we've completed across projects in more than 30 countries. Each range covers a complete equipment package including the fertilizer granulator machine, pre-treatment equipment, drying system, cooling, screening, and packaging — not individual machines. Where the number lands within that range depends on material type, automation level, and which optional stages the process requires.

○ RICHI MACHINERY

Complete System Configuration for Organic Fertilizer Processing

 

Raw Material Cleaning System

Cleaning& Screening System

Removes stones, metal fragments, wire, plastic, and other contaminants from incoming organic material before processing begins. Skipping this stage is one of the most common causes of premature die wear on the granulation machine. 

 

crushing system

Fertilizer Crushing System

Reduces particle size of dry or semi-dry organic material to the range required for consistent mixing and granulation. Material hardness, moisture, and fiber content determine which crusher type fits.

 

mixing system

Composting & Mixing System

Handles fermentation and homogenization of raw organic inputs before drying or direct granulation. For high-moisture materials like fresh manure or food waste, this stage stabilizes the feedstock and reduces pathogen levels. For blended inputs, it homogenizes moisture and nutrient distribution.

 

Fertilizer Drying System

Fertilizer Drying System

Controls moisture content before the material enters the fertilizer granulator machine — one of the most critical variables in pellet quality and die longevity. Target moisture at the granulator inlet is typically 12–18% depending on material type.

05/01

Fertilizer Pellet Cooling System

Fertilizer Pellet Cooling System

Granules exit the ring die at 70–90°C and need to be brought down to near ambient temperature before screening and bagging. Skipping cooling leads to pellet deformation, surface cracking, and moisture reabsorption during storage.

05/01

Fertilizer Coating System

Fertilizer Coating System

Applies a surface treatment to finished pellets to improve appearance, reduce dust, extend shelf life, or add functional coatings for slow-release formulations. Common in export-grade fertilizer production and premium retail product lines.

05/01

Fertilizer Bagging System

Fertilizer Bagging System

Silo Storage System

Silo Storage System

Stores raw materials, intermediate process materials, or finished fertilizer before bagging or dispatch. Particularly important for lines running continuous shifts where buffer capacity between stages prevents bottlenecks.

Most organic waste streams work — chicken manure, cow dung, pig manure, sewage sludge, biogas digestate, food waste, agricultural residues like straw and bagasse, and industrial fermentation byproducts. Mineral inputs including NPK blends, bentonite, and phosphate mixtures can also be granulated on dedicated compound fertilizer lines. Two or more materials are often combined before granulation. If you're unsure whether your feedstock is suitable, send us a material description and we'll give you a direct answer.

Output capacity is the starting point — our FZLH series runs from 1 t/h on the FZLH250 up to 22–26 t/h on the FZLH768. But model selection also depends on raw material type, moisture content going into the machine, and target pellet diameter. We've completed thousands of equipment proposals across projects in more than 30 countries. Tell us your material and daily output target and we'll recommend the right model with supporting data from comparable projects.

It depends on your raw material condition. If your feedstock is already dried and crushed to consistent particle size, a standalone fertilizer granulator machine can work. In most real-world situations, the material needs pre-treatment — drying, crushing, composting, or a combination — before it reaches the granulator. We supply both standalone machines and complete lines. If you're not sure what your process actually needs, we can walk through it based on your raw material specs.

Pellet diameter is adjustable between 4mm and 12mm across all FZLH models by changing the ring die. The right size depends on your target market — bulk farm application typically uses 4–6mm, while retail-packaged products often go to 6–8mm. Die hole geometry also affects pellet density and hardness, which we configure based on material type.

Under normal operating conditions with organic fertilizer inputs, a correctly specified ring die runs 800–1,200 hours before replacement is needed. Die life shortens significantly if moisture going into the machine is outside the 12–18% range, or if abrasive mineral content is higher than anticipated. We stock replacement dies for all FZLH models and can ship within a few days for most destinations.

We cover installation supervision, commissioning, operator training, and spare parts supply — from startup through the full working life of the line. Remote troubleshooting is available via video for most operational issues. For large projects, on-site engineers are arranged during the commissioning phase. Spare parts including ring dies, rollers, bearings, and wear components are stocked and available for dispatch from our facility in Henan, China.

Standard single machines ship in 15–25 days. Complete production lines take 30–60 days for manufacturing depending on line scale and configuration complexity. Delivery time to most destinations adds 20–35 days by sea freight. We provide a detailed production and delivery schedule at the time of order confirmation.

Yes — and most of our clients process more than one feedstock. A mixed livestock farm running chicken manure, cow dung, and pig waste in different seasons is a common example. The line is configured for the most demanding material in your feedstock range, and die selection can be adjusted when switching between materials. We've built multi-feedstock lines in New Zealand, Paraguay, Ukraine, and several other markets where seasonal material availability varies.

Start with your raw material — type, daily volume, and moisture content. That determines the process stages you need, which determines equipment selection, which determines line layout and civil requirements. We've taken hundreds of clients through this process from the first conversation to a commissioned plant. Share your material details and output target with our team and we'll put together a process flow and preliminary equipment list at no charge.
