This is a project about animal manure and food waste fertilizer pellet production line in Brazil. The plant is designed to produce 100,000 tons of organic fertilizer annually, operating on a schedule of 8 hours per day, 240 days per year, with a staff of approximately 45 employees.
This is a project about animal manure and food waste fertilizer pellet production line in Brazil. With modern agriculture expanding rapidly in Brazil, there has been a growing recognition of the ecological and agronomic drawbacks of overusing chemical fertilizers. Excessive application of synthetic fertilizers can lead to soil degradation, reduced crop quality, water eutrophication, and contamination of rivers and groundwater. To mitigate these issues and enhance long-term soil fertility, there is increasing interest in industrial-scale organic fertilizer production. Organic fertilizers not only improve soil organic matter and fertility but also contribute to sustainable agriculture and environmental protection.
In this context, a Brazilian agricultural enterprise has initiated a project to establish an animal manure and food waste fertilizer pellet production line. The plant is designed to produce 100,000 tons of organic fertilizer annually, operating on a schedule of 8 hours per day, 240 days per year, with a staff of approximately 45 employees. The facility occupies 35 acres and integrates modern technologies to convert poultry manure, crop residues, and food processing waste into high-quality organic and bio-organic fertilizers. This project exemplifies the feasibility of waste valorization in Brazil, combining environmental sustainability with profitable operations.

The client is a medium-sized agricultural and livestock operator based in southern Brazil, where poultry farming and crop production generate significant volumes of organic residues. Historically, these by-products, including poultry manure, straw, and food processing residues, have been underutilized, creating sanitation issues and contributing to nutrient run-off into rivers and streams. The client decided to invest in an organic fertilizer production line to convert these residues into value-added products.
The organic fertilizer production project is strategically designed for several reasons:
The facility is designed for 10 tons per hour, producing 100,000 tons per year, including:
The primary products are used to enhance soil fertility for crops such as corn, soybean, sugarcane, and vegetables. The animal manure and food waste fertilizer pellet production line in Brazil employs ring-die granulation technology, ensuring uniform pellet size, nutrient retention, and ease of application.
The animal manure and food waste fertilizer pellet production line in Brazil occupies 35 acres, with a total construction area of 23,333 m², divided into three zones: the fermentation area, the production workshop, and the administrative office and staff quarters. The layout is designed for efficient workflow, short logistics paths, and safe separation of materials.
