9-12T/H Chicken Dung Pellet Machine in Kazakhstan

Raw Materials and Composition

Kazakhstan’s poultry industry generates substantial volumes of chicken manure, collected primarily from layer farms with populations ranging between 10,000–15,000 birds. The collected chicken dung has a moisture content of approximately 25–30%, requiring pre-processing to achieve optimal conditions for granulation. The client uses a drying system to reduce moisture content to around 18–20%, which is ideal for the granulator’s operation.

To enhance pellet quality and improve carbon-to-nitrogen ratios, the client blends the chicken dung with sunflower husks and wheat straw, both abundant local agricultural by-products. The typical raw material mix for pellet production consists of:

• 60% chicken manure
• 25% wheat straw
• 15% sunflower husks

This combination ensures that pellets are dense, structurally sound, and nutrient-rich. The inclusion of fibrous materials such as straw and husks also enhances pellet hardness and prevents breakage during transportation and storage. This blend is particularly suitable for Kazakh soil types, promoting long-term nutrient release and soil fertility.

Equipment Selection and Parameters

After a detailed consultation with RICHI Machinery, the client selected the FZLH520 model of the chicken dung pellet machine. The choice was based on its medium-to-high production capacity, robust ring die structure, and compatibility with fibrous organic materials.

Key specifications for this organic fertilizer production project include:

• Main Motor Power: 132 kW
• Anti-Arching Feeder Power: 3 kW
• Forced Feeder Power: 1.5 kW
• Ring Die Diameter: 520 mm
• Pellet Diameter: 8 mm
• Production Capacity: 9–12 T/H

The FZLH520 was selected to meet the client’s requirement for higher throughput during peak seasons while maintaining pellet uniformity and quality. The machine’s precise feeding mechanism ensures smooth operation, preventing blockages and minimizing downtime. This capability is crucial for handling mixtures with variable moisture content and fiber length.

Function and Product Application

The primary purpose of the chicken dung pellet machine is to convert poultry waste into high-quality, nutrient-rich organic fertilizer pellets suitable for agricultural applications across Kazakhstan. The pellets are designed for use in vegetable cultivation, cereal production, and orchards, providing a slow-release source of essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

The pellets produced are 8 mm in diameter, which balances ease of handling, spreading, and soil penetration. Using pellets instead of raw manure offers multiple advantages:

• Improved Storage and Transportation: Pellets reduce bulk volume, making handling more convenient and cost-effective.
• Even Nutrient Distribution: Each pellet contains a consistent mix of chicken manure and fibrous additives, ensuring uniform soil enrichment.
• Reduced Odor and Dust: Pelletization significantly lowers ammonia and particulate emissions, improving workplace safety and environmental compliance.
• Sustained Fertilizer Efficiency: Pellets release nutrients gradually, supporting steady plant growth over several weeks.

While primarily intended for fertilizer production, the chicken manure pellet machine’s versatility allows it to process other organic wastes, such as cow manure or mixed agricultural residues, offering potential for future production diversification.

Logistics and Delivery

The chicken dung pellet machine was shipped from Qingdao Port, China, and transported via sea freight to Aktau Port on the Caspian Sea, the nearest practical port for Kazakhstan. From there, the equipment was moved overland to the client’s facility by heavy-duty truck. RICHI Machinery provided full logistical support, including guidance on customs clearance, insurance, and on-site delivery, ensuring a smooth installation process and minimizing potential delays.

Machine Features, Advantages, and Versatility

The FZLH520 chicken dung pellet machine offers numerous technical advantages that make it an ideal investment for Kazakhstan’s fertilizer industry:

• High-Quality Pellet Formation: The ring die ensures uniform size, density, and hardness, even when processing high-fiber mixtures.
• Energy Efficiency: Optimized motors and feeders reduce electricity consumption, lowering operational costs.
• Durable Construction: Heavy-duty materials and reinforced components handle fibrous and abrasive organic materials effectively.
• Adjustable Pellet Sizes: Die options allow for pellets ranging from 4 mm to 12 mm, providing flexibility to meet varying market requirements.
• Easy Maintenance: Accessible design simplifies cleaning, inspection, and part replacement, minimizing downtime.

Additionally, the granulator is compatible with a variety of raw materials beyond chicken dung, including cow manure, pig manure, crop residues, and mixed organic waste. This versatility ensures long-term usability and supports potential future expansion into different types of organic fertilizer production.

Customer Feedback

Within the first month of operation, the client reported highly satisfactory results from the chicken dung pellet machine in Kazakhstan. The production manager highlighted the following:

"The FZLH520 has significantly improved our processing efficiency. Pellets are uniform, durable, and nutrient-rich, meeting the standards of our local farmers. The machine handles fibrous raw materials effortlessly, and its performance is consistent even with varying moisture content. RICHI Machinery’s team was incredibly professional, guiding us through installation, operation, and maintenance. Their support gave us confidence that this is a long-term solution for our fertilizer production needs."

The client emphasized the responsive technical support and the smooth commissioning process as key factors in their satisfaction. The machine not only met their immediate production goals but also positioned the company for future growth.

Conclusion

This project in Kazakhstan exemplifies how a single chicken dung pellet machine can transform a fertilizer plant’s operational efficiency and product quality. By integrating the FZLH520 into their existing line, the client achieved higher throughput, improved pellet consistency, and produced a market-ready organic fertilizer that satisfies both regulatory standards and farmer expectations.

RICHI Machinery’s professional guidance, durable and efficient equipment, and attentive after-sales support were instrumental in the project’s success. The FZLH520 fertilizer granulator machine proved to be a reliable, versatile, and cost-effective solution for organic fertilizer production, offering long-term value and scalability for the Kazakh market.

By leveraging local raw materials, optimizing the mix, and employing the granulator effectively, the client now produces high-quality, nutrient-rich pellets that enhance soil health, support sustainable agriculture, and contribute to environmental protection. This case underscores the importance of selecting the right granulator model and working with an experienced supplier like RICHI Machinery to maximize production efficiency and product quality.
