6–8 T/H Fertilizer Granulator Machine in Morocco

Raw Materials and Local Adaptation

Morocco has abundant livestock and agricultural by-products that serve as excellent raw materials for organic fertilizer production. For this project, the customer used a blend of locally sourced animal manures and agricultural residues:

• Chicken manure: Collected from nearby poultry farms, partially dried with a moisture content of 18–22%.
• Cow manure: Sourced from local dairy farms, semi-wet and fiber-rich.
• Straw residues: Derived from wheat and barley farming, adding bulk and fiber to pellets.
• Olive pulp: A by-product of local olive oil production, rich in organic matter and nutrients.

The raw material ratio was carefully designed to meet the nutrient needs of crops in Morocco:

• Chicken manure: 40%
• Cow manure: 30%
• Wheat straw: 20%
• Olive pulp: 10%

The mixed materials were shredded, dried, and blended to achieve a uniform consistency with a moisture content suitable for the FZLH420 granulator, ensuring smooth granulation and high-quality pellet output.

Equipment Selection: FZLH420 Granulator Machine

The FZLH420 fertilizer granulator machine was chosen due to its ability to process medium-to-high fiber content materials, including animal manure mixed with agricultural residues. Its features ensure efficient granulation, uniform pellet size, and robust performance.

Specifications of FZLH420:

• Main Motor Power: 90 kW
• Arch-breaking Feeder Power: 3 kW
• Forced Feeder Power: 1.5 kW
• Ring Die Diameter: 420 mm
• Pellet Diameter: 9 mm (customized for the Moroccan project)
• Production Capacity: 6–8 T/H

This granulator was ideal for the Moroccan plant, which needed medium-capacity granulation for its mixed manure and agricultural residues. The machine’s design allows it to handle moisture variations, fiber content, and different pellet sizes efficiently.

Production Process and Equipment Role

The fertilizer granulator machine in Morocco plays a crucial role in the plant’s organic fertilizer production line:

1. Material Preparation: Chicken and cow manure are collected, and straw and olive pulp are shredded to improve homogeneity.
2. Drying: Manure is dried to achieve 18–22% moisture content using the plant’s existing drying equipment.
3. Mixing: Materials are thoroughly mixed to ensure balanced nutrient distribution and optimal granulation performance.
4. Granulation: The FZLH420 granulates the prepared mixture into uniform 9 mm cylindrical pellets.
5. Cooling and Screening: Pellets are cooled, screened for size consistency, and oversized or broken pellets are recycled.
6. Packaging: Finished pellets are bagged and ready for distribution to local vegetable and fruit farms.

The standalone granulator allows the plant to produce high-quality pellets efficiently, reducing labor costs and waste associated with previous equipment.

Technical Advantages and Features

• Medium-to-high capacity: 6–8 T/H, perfect for mid-scale production.
• Fiber tolerance: Handles manure mixed with straw and olive pulp efficiently.
• Custom pellet size: Produces 9 mm pellets tailored for local agricultural needs.
• Durable construction: Heavy-duty ring die prevents clogging and ensures longevity.
• Energy-efficient: Optimized motor reduces electricity consumption compared to older equipment.
• Versatile application: Can process different types of animal manure and agricultural residues.

These features made the FZLH420 an ideal choice for Moroccan fertilizer producers looking to upgrade from traditional granulators.

Shipping and Logistics

• Port of Loading: Qingdao, China
• Port of Arrival: Casablanca Port, Morocco
