6–8 T/H New Organic Fertilizer Granulator in Peru

Raw Materials and Local Adaptation

In Peru, the availability of animal manure and agricultural by-products provides excellent raw materials for organic fertilizer production. The customer specifically sources:

• Cow manure (40%) – collected from nearby dairy farms; fresh and semi-composted to reduce pathogens and partially dry to about 18% moisture content.
• Chicken manure (20%) – dried and partially composted; rich in nitrogen, ideal for balanced fertilizer formulas.
• Coffee husks (25%) – abundant by-product of local coffee processing; high in potassium and fiber, which helps improve pellet structure.
• Rice husks (15%) – adding texture and maintaining pellet integrity during drying and transport.

The combination of moist cow and chicken manure with fibrous coffee and rice husks creates a challenging mix for pelletization, which requires a granulator capable of handling high-fiber, semi-moist materials. The FZLH420 granulator, with a ring die diameter of 420 mm and production capacity of 6–8 T/H, was ideal for this project. The customer set a target pellet diameter of 7.5 mm, suitable for small-scale farms that rely on standard fertilizer applicators.

Materials with moisture content above 20% were pre-processed using the facility’s rotary dryer, ensuring optimal conditions for granulation and preventing blockage during feeding.

Equipment Selection: FZLH420 Granulator

The FZLH420 model was selected for its high efficiency, durability, and versatility:

• Motor power: 90 kW, capable of handling medium-to-large-scale production.
• Ring die diameter: 420 mm, producing dense and uniform pellets.
• Capacity: 6–8 T/H, meeting the customer’s daily production targets.
• Pellet size: 4–12 mm adjustable, with the customer focusing on 7.5 mm for this project.

The machine includes a forced feeding system and arch-breaking feeder, which ensures smooth handling of high-fiber materials such as coffee husks and rice husks. This granulator also minimizes energy consumption while maintaining stable output and uniform pellet quality.

The versatility of the FZLH420 allows the customer to experiment with various organic material ratios while maintaining consistent pellet production, an essential factor for market acceptance and consistent nutrient delivery in organic farming.

Production Process and Application

The main goal of this project is to produce high-quality organic fertilizer pellets suitable for crops such as coffee, cocoa, and vegetables. The FZLH420 granulator allows the customer to process a mixture of 60% animal manure and 40% agricultural residues, yielding pellets with optimal nutrient balance and structural stability.

The facility tested multiple raw material ratios:

• Cow manure + chicken manure + coffee husks + rice husks (40:20:25:15) for general crop fertilizer.
• Cow manure + chicken manure + coffee husks (50:20:30) for nitrogen-rich formulations tailored to coffee plantations.

The uniform pellet size of 7.5 mm ensures even spreading in the fields, quick nutrient release, and easy application using standard fertilizer spreaders. The resulting organic fertilizer improves soil structure, increases microbial activity, and supports sustainable crop production.

The pellets produced are exclusively for fertilizer use, not intended for fuel or animal feed.

Shipping and Logistics

All equipment for this project was shipped from Qingdao Port, China, arriving at Callao Port in Peru, the country’s main maritime hub. From Callao, the FZLH420 fertilizer granulator machine was transported by heavy-duty trucks to the facility in Junín.

RICHI Machinery provided comprehensive pre-shipment support, including:

• Customized packaging for safe transport.
• Export documentation for Peruvian customs clearance.
• Technical guidance on installation, site preparation, and initial operation.

This ensured the granulator arrived on time, undamaged, and ready for installation.

Technical Advantages and Equipment Benefits

1. High versatility: Capable of processing diverse organic raw materials, including animal manure, crop residues, and mixed substrates.
2. Uniform pellet quality: Produces dense, dust-free pellets with controlled nutrient release.
3. Energy efficiency: Optimized motor and feeding design minimize electricity consumption.
4. Durable design: Ring die and rollers are engineered for long-term operation with minimal maintenance.
5. Scalability: Suitable for standalone operations or integration into a full organic fertilizer production line in the future.

For this Peruvian customer, the FZLH420 granulator effectively addresses challenges associated with high-fiber coffee husks and semi-moist manure, providing reliable performance and minimal downtime. The customer appreciates the machine’s simple operation, low maintenance requirements, and consistent output, which support their growing organic fertilizer business.

Customer Feedback

• “The FZLH420 organic fertilizer pellet machine handles our mix of coffee husks and manure smoothly. Pellet quality is excellent, and throughput is stable.”
• “RICHI engineers provided excellent support during installation and training. We were able to start production quickly without any technical issues.”
• “This single machine has greatly improved our efficiency. The flexibility to adjust pellet size and test different raw material ratios is invaluable.”

The customer highlighted RICHI’s professional service and responsiveness, stating that the granulator is a critical part of their production process and a long-term investment.

Versatility of the New Organic Fertilizer Granulator

• Animal manure: chicken, cow, pig, sheep, or mixed manures.
• Agricultural residues: coffee husks, rice husks, sugarcane bagasse, corn stalks, and other fibrous by-products.
• Mixed organic fertilizers: combining livestock manure with crop residues or composted materials.

The machine’s adjustable pellet size and output capacity allows customers to produce fertilizer pellets for a variety of crops and soil types. Its low energy consumption and simple maintenance make it ideal for medium-scale fertilizer producers seeking reliable and cost-effective production equipment.

Summary and Conclusion
