3-5T/H Horse Manure Pellet Making Machine in Slovakia

Project Background and Client Profile

The client had been producing organic fertilizers from composted horse manure for local distribution. They were previously using smaller, low-capacity machines, which limited throughput and caused uneven pellet formation. By investing in a single FZLH350 horse manure pellet making machine, the client aimed to replace an older model while integrating it with their existing equipment.

The horse manure pellet machine’s main motor power is 37 kW, with a ring die diameter of 350 mm, an arch breaker feeder of 2.2 kW, and a forced feeder of 0.75 kW. This setup allows processing at a rate of 3–5 tons per hour, producing pellets with a diameter of 7 mm, specifically optimized for even nutrient distribution in fields.

Raw Material Composition

Slovakia’s horse stables generate significant amounts of fresh horse manure. To enhance pellet quality, the client combines the manure with agricultural by-products.

For this project, the raw material blend consists of 60% fresh horse manure (with a moisture content of around 28%), 25% wheat straw sourced from local farms, and 15% sawdust obtained from nearby woodworking facilities. The high moisture content necessitates pre-drying using an existing drum dryer to ensure the pellets form correctly and maintain structural integrity.

The mixed composition improves the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, reduces pellet crumbling, and ensures uniformity in size and density. It also reduces dust generation during handling and improves the final product’s application in organic crop fertilization.

Machine Application and Production Process

The horse manure pellet making machine in Slovakia is central to the client’s operations. Raw materials are first collected and transported to the drying unit to bring moisture content below 20%. The mixture is then fed into the FZLH350 horse manure fertilizer granulator machine through the arch breaker feeder, which prevents bridging and ensures a consistent feed. The forced feeder ensures uniform compression within the ring die, producing dense, well-formed pellets.

After pelletizing, the products pass through a cooling and screening system to remove fines and stabilize the pellets. The result is high-quality 7 mm horse manure pellets suitable for field application, offering consistent nutrient release, improved soil structure, and enhanced fertilization efficiency.

Benefits and Equipment Advantages

• Reliable throughput of 3–5 tons per hour, improving production efficiency.
• Capability to process mixed organic materials, including horse manure, straw, and sawdust.
• Energy-efficient operation with a 37 kW main motor and optimized feeding system.
• Low-maintenance design, ideal for continuous operation in an organic fertilizer facility.

Additionally, the machine’s versatility allows processing of other types of animal manure, such as cow, pig, or sheep manure, either alone or in combination with plant residues. The client can also experiment with different raw material ratios to produce pellets with varying nutrient profiles.

Shipping and Installation

The horse manure pellet making machine was shipped via sea from Qingdao Port in China to Koper Port, Slovenia. Upon delivery, our professional technical team assisted with installation, commissioning, and operational training. This support allowed the client to begin production immediately, minimizing downtime and ensuring optimal performance.

Client Feedback

The client praised the FZLH350 horse manure based organic fertilizer pellet machine for its durability and consistency in pellet production. They highlighted that the machine integrates seamlessly with their existing drying and composting units, producing uniform 7 mm pellets with minimal waste.

According to their report, production efficiency increased by nearly 35%, and the machine’s performance met both domestic and regional organic fertilizer standards. They also appreciated the guidance provided by RICHI Machinery during installation and the post-sale support for troubleshooting and operational advice.
