RICHI Machinery Completes 5T/H Chicken Manure Fertilizer Pellet Making Line in Vietnam

Recently, RICHI Machinery successfully commissioned a 5t/h chicken manure fertilizer pellet making line for a Vietnamese agribusiness client. The client operates multiple medium-scale poultry farms in the Mekong Delta region, a key agricultural hub in southern Vietnam. Facing rising demand for organic fertilizer and a need to manage large volumes of chicken manure sustainably, the client sought a solution to transform raw poultry waste into high-quality, nutrient-rich fertilizer pellets.

Vietnam’s poultry industry produces millions of tons of chicken manure annually, which, if not properly managed, causes environmental pollution and odor issues. The client aimed to convert these by-products into environmentally friendly, marketable fertilizer pellets, improving farm sanitation while creating an additional revenue stream.

The organic fertilizer production project focused on producing NPK-balanced chicken manure pellets suitable for rice paddies, vegetable fields, and fruit orchards. The raw material consists primarily of fresh chicken manure (40-50%), supplemented with rice husk (30-35%) and trace mineral additives (15-20%) to adjust nutrient content and moisture. The client required a continuous pelletizing system capable of handling varying moisture levels and ensuring uniform granule quality.

Special requirements included:

• Integration with an existing storage facility, minimizing the need for extensive new construction
• Low-dust operation and odor control to comply with Vietnamese environmental standards
• Production of 3–6 mm uniform pellets suitable for both local and regional agricultural use

Plant Design and Production Process

RICHI Machinery designed a customized chicken manure pellet production process for this Vietnamese client, ensuring efficiency, sustainability, and ease of operation. The plant layout leverages the client’s existing warehouse, which was retrofitted with proper ventilation, dust collection, and moisture control systems.

The production flow is as follows:

• Raw Material Preparation: Fresh chicken manure is collected and mixed with rice husk and mineral additives. Shredding ensures uniform particle size and facilitates smooth pellet formation. Moisture content is adjusted to 18–20% using a conditioner before pelletizing.
• Pelletizing: The mixture is fed into a high-capacity ring die chicken manure pellet machine. The mill compresses the material into consistent 3–6 mm pellets, optimizing nutrient retention and structural integrity.
• Cooling and Screening: Newly formed pellets are cooled in a rotary cooler to prevent deformation. Vibrating screens remove fines, ensuring uniform quality.
• Packing and Storage: Automated bagging and storage systems streamline post-production handling, enabling ready-to-sell organic fertilizer pellets.

Additional systems include dust collectors, conveyors, and moisture monitoring devices to maintain a clean and safe working environment.

Equipment Configuration and Technical Details

The 5t/h chicken manure pellet making line includes the following fertilizer granulator machine:

• Shredder: Reduces raw chicken manure and rice husk to uniform particle size
• Single-shaft conditioner: Adjusts moisture and temperature to ensure optimal pellet formation
• Ring die pellet mill: Produces 5 tons per hour of high-quality chicken manure pellets
• Rotary cooler: Maintains pellet integrity and prevents breakage
• Vibrating screen: Separates fines for consistent pellet size
• Conveyors and automated packing system: Efficient material handling and storage

All equipment is optimized for continuous operation and adapted to Vietnam’s three-phase electrical system, ensuring stability and low energy consumption.

Operational Advantages and Applications

This 5t/h chicken manure fertilizer pellet making line offers several benefits:

1. Sustainable waste management: Converts chicken manure into high-value organic fertilizer, reducing environmental pollution.
2. Enhanced soil fertility: NPK-balanced pellets improve crop yield and soil health.
3. Revenue generation: Creates a new marketable product from farm waste.
4. Operational efficiency: Automated systems reduce labor costs and improve production consistency.
5. Environmental compliance: Dust and odor control systems meet Vietnamese regulatory standards.

The organic fertilizer production line allows the client to process varying manure batches without compromising pellet quality, providing year-round flexibility.

After several months of operation, the client provided the following feedback:

“RICHI Machinery delivered an exceptional solution for our chicken manure management. The pellet line operates efficiently, produces uniform, nutrient-rich fertilizer pellets, and has significantly reduced our farm’s environmental impact. The installation and training process was seamless, and the after-sales support has been very responsive. We are now considering a second line to expand production.”

The client highlighted the professional design, reliable equipment, and responsive support as key factors behind their satisfaction and continued partnership with RICHI Machinery.
