6–8 T/H Chicken Dung Organic Fertilizer Pellet Machine in Latvia

Raw Materials and Composition

The client in Latvia sources chicken manure from nearby poultry farms, which maintain approximately 10,000–12,000 layers. The manure is collected daily and arrives with a moisture content of around 28–32%, necessitating partial drying before pelletization. The client uses a rotary drum dryer to reduce the moisture content to 18–20%, ideal for high-quality granulation.

In addition to chicken manure, the client incorporates local agricultural residues to improve pellet structure and nutrient balance. The raw material composition is as follows:

• 60% fresh chicken dung
• 25% chopped wheat straw
• 15% sawdust from local timber processing

This mixture enhances pellet hardness, reduces breakage during handling, and ensures uniform nutrient distribution. The fibrous materials, such as wheat straw and sawdust, also aid in achieving the desired bulk density and prevent pellet deformation during cooling and storage.

Equipment Selection and Parameters

Based on the production needs and the fibrous nature of the raw material, the client chose the FZLH420 model chicken manure pellet machine for this project. This model offers a good balance between capacity and machine footprint, making it ideal for a medium-scale fertilizer operation. The robust ring die design and strong feeding system handle mixed poultry manure and fibrous additives efficiently.

Key specifications for this installation include:

• Main Motor Power: 90 kW
• Anti-Arching Feeder Power: 3 kW
• Forced Feeder Power: 1.5 kW
• Ring Die Diameter: 420 mm
• Pellet Diameter: 8 mm
• Production Capacity: 6–8 T/H

The FZLH420 chicken manure organic fertilizer pellet machine was selected because its capacity aligns with the client’s current manure availability and future production plans. Its reinforced ring die ensures continuous operation, while the adjustable die allows for precise control over pellet diameter, critical for packaging and field application.

Function and Product Application

The primary purpose of the chicken dung organic fertilizer pellet machine in Latvia is to produce high-quality, uniform fertilizer pellets. These pellets have multiple applications:

• Soil Fertility Improvement: Pellets enrich soil with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, promoting crop growth and improving yields.
• Ease of Handling and Distribution: Pelletization reduces bulk and allows easy storage, transport, and application.
• Environmentally Friendly Production: Pelletization reduces odor and dust, ensuring a safer working environment.
• Slow Nutrient Release: Pellets decompose gradually, providing a sustained nutrient supply to crops.

For this organic fertilizer production project, the 8 mm pellets were optimized for mechanical spreading, commonly used in vegetable and cereal production in Latvia. While primarily used for organic fertilizer, the machine also has the flexibility to process mixed animal manures or crop residues if the client decides to diversify production.

Logistics and Delivery

The equipment was shipped from Qingdao Port, China, via sea freight to Riga Port, Latvia. From Riga, the machine was transported overland using specialized trucks capable of handling the dimensions and weight of the FZLH420 unit. RICHI Machinery provided comprehensive shipping support, including customs clearance guidance and detailed installation instructions, ensuring the machine arrived in excellent condition and was quickly operational.

Technical Advantages and Versatility

The FZLH420 chicken dung organic fertilizer pellet machine offers several key technical advantages that influenced the client’s purchase decision:

• Consistent Pellet Quality: The reinforced ring die and precision feeding mechanism produce uniform pellets with excellent density and minimal breakage.
• Energy Efficiency: Optimized motor power reduces electricity consumption while maintaining high throughput.
• Durable Construction: Heavy-duty design ensures long-term reliability, even when processing fibrous or abrasive materials.
• Wide Material Compatibility: Capable of handling chicken, cow, or mixed animal manure, as well as crop residues like straw and husks.
• Ease of Maintenance: Accessible design allows for quick inspection and replacement of worn parts, minimizing downtime.
• Adjustable Pellet Sizes: Supports pellet diameters from 4 mm to 12 mm, allowing customization for different markets and applications.

This versatility ensures the client can adapt to changing raw material availability and market demand, providing a reliable long-term solution.

Customer Feedback

The client in Latvia shared positive feedback after two months of operation:

"The FZLH420 fertilizer granulator machine has exceeded our expectations. Pellet production is consistent, and the machine handles fibrous materials without jamming. We are now able to meet customer demand for organic fertilizers efficiently. The support from RICHI Machinery has been excellent, from shipment to installation and training. We feel confident that this machine will be a cornerstone of our production for years to come."

They highlighted the machine’s reliability, minimal maintenance needs, and production efficiency as key advantages. The client also appreciated RICHI’s professional guidance and availability for troubleshooting.

Conclusion

This project highlights how a single chicken dung organic fertilizer pellet machine can significantly improve operational efficiency and product quality for medium-scale fertilizer producers in Latvia. By integrating the FZLH420 into their facility, the client achieved:

• Higher throughput and consistent pellet quality
• Improved nutrient balance and pellet structure
• Reduced manual labor and operational costs
• Flexibility to process other manures or crop residues in the future

RICHI Machinery’s professional service, high-quality equipment, and technical support ensured a smooth project execution. The FZLH420’s design and performance demonstrate the value of investing in reliable, versatile equipment for sustainable fertilizer production.

This case emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate machine model based on raw material characteristics, production capacity, and local agricultural conditions. With RICHI Machinery, clients in Latvia and beyond can confidently scale their organic fertilizer production and meet growing market demands efficiently.
