9–12 T/H Cattle Manure Organic Fertilizer Granulator in Argentina

Raw Materials and Local Adaptation

Argentina's cattle industry generates significant quantities of manure, which is rich in nitrogen and other essential nutrients. In this organic fertilizer production project, the customer sources:

• Fresh cattle manure (70%) – collected from nearby cattle farms; moisture content is approximately 25%, which necessitates pre-drying in the facility’s rotary drum dryer.
• Sheep manure (10%) – partially dried, rich in phosphorus, and available from regional sheep farms.
• Corn stalks (15%) – chopped to 3–5 cm pieces; they act as a fiber supplement to improve pellet integrity.
• Sugarcane bagasse (5%) – introduced to optimize pellet formation and increase the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio.

This mixture represents a high-fiber, semi-moist substrate requiring a robust ring-die granulator capable of handling fibrous organic materials without clogging. The FZLH520 model organic fertilizer pellet machine, with a ring die diameter of 520 mm and production capacity of 9–12 T/H, is well-suited to this application. The target pellet diameter is 8 mm, suitable for general fertilizer use on small to medium agricultural plots.

The moisture content above 20% necessitated pre-drying, highlighting the importance of integrating dryer systems with granulation equipment to ensure smooth operation and consistent pellet quality.

Equipment Selection: FZLH520 Granulator

The FZLH520 cattle manure organic fertilizer granulator was selected for its capacity, versatility, and durability:

• Main motor power: 132 kW, sufficient to handle the high-fiber mixture.
• Ring die inner diameter: 520 mm, enabling dense, uniform pellet production.
• Output capacity: 9–12 T/H, matching the facility’s daily production goals.
• Adjustable pellet size: 4–12 mm, with the customer producing 8 mm pellets.

The machine’s arch-breaking feeder and forced feeding system ensure consistent feeding of semi-moist manure and fibrous materials. The granulator’s energy-efficient design reduces operating costs while maintaining stable throughput, crucial for medium-scale organic fertilizer production.

The FZLH520 cattle manure organic fertilizer granulator in Argentina also allows the customer to adjust formulas, making it possible to test different ratios of cattle manure, crop residues, and other organic additives for customized nutrient profiles.

Production Process and Application

The FZLH520 granulator is used to process a mixture of cattle manure, sheep manure, corn stalks, and bagasse into dense, uniform organic fertilizer pellets. The customer tested several formulations:

• 70% cattle manure + 10% sheep manure + 15% corn stalks + 5% bagasse – general-purpose organic fertilizer for maize and soy.
• 60% cattle manure + 20% cattle manure + 15% corn stalks + 5% bagasse – nitrogen-rich pellets tailored for intensive vegetable cultivation.

The uniform 8 mm pellets are suitable for application with standard fertilizer spreaders, allowing even distribution and controlled nutrient release. The pellets improve soil structure, enhance microbial activity, and reduce nutrient runoff compared to loose manure.

The product is exclusively organic fertilizer, not intended for fuel or animal feed. The granulator also supports multi-material blending, providing versatility for creating high-value, nutrient-balanced fertilizer products.

Shipping and Logistics

The fertilizer granulator machine was shipped from Qingdao Port, China, arriving at Buenos Aires Port, Argentina’s main maritime gateway. RICHI Machinery provided end-to-end logistics support:

• Customized packaging for safe sea transport.
• Export documentation for customs clearance.
• Pre-shipment technical guidance, including site preparation and foundation requirements.

The granulator was transported from Buenos Aires Port to the facility in Pampas by heavy-duty trucks. This smooth process ensured the equipment arrived on time and in perfect condition, ready for installation and operation.
