5T/H Organic Fertilizer Granulator Machine in Argentina

Customer needs

When communicating with the RICHI engineering team, the customer clearly put forward several key requirements:

1. First, the new equipment must be able to seamlessly connect to the existing pretreatment and subsequent drying and packaging systems to avoid large-scale transformation;
2. Second, the production capacity must be stable at more than 5 tons/hour to match the daily cow dung processing volume of the ranch;
3. Finally, the equipment needs to adapt to the high humidity climate in Argentina and the high fiber characteristics of cow dung to ensure long-term stable operation.
4. In addition, the customer also pays special attention to the quality of the pellets.
   The organic fertilizer they produce is mainly for the fruit and vegetable planting areas in northern Argentina, and local farmers have high requirements for the strength, uniformity and solubility of the pellets.
   The pellets of the original equipment are fragile and have a high transportation damage rate, which affects market sales. Therefore, the new pelletizer must ensure the physical quality of the pellets while increasing the output.

Raw material characteristics and product requirements

The customer's organic fertilizer raw materials are mainly cow dung (accounting for 70%), mixed with straw powder (20%), humic acid (5%) and microbial agents (5%). After the trough aerobic fermentation, the moisture content of cow dung is about 40-45%, but it still contains a large amount of incompletely decomposed fibers, which poses a challenge to the extrusion molding capacity of the organic fertilizer granulator machine.

The customer's target product is cylindrical organic fertilizer granules with a diameter of 4-6mm, which require the granules to have a smooth surface, a compressive strength of ≥15N, and an organic matter content of ≥60% (in line with the Argentine Senasa organic fertilizer standard).

These granules need to be subsequently dried and cooled at low temperature, and finally packaged as commercial fertilizers of 25kg/bag for export to neighboring countries such as Chile and Uruguay.

Why choose RICHI Organic Fertilizer Granulator Machine in Argentina project?

After comparing several organic fertilizer granulator suppliers, the customer finally chose RICHI's FZLH350 organic fertilizer pellet machine. The main reasons include:

1. Tailor-made system adaptability

We did not simply recommend the standard model, but deeply understood the customer's existing entire organic fertilizer production line, including the front-end mixing system and the back-end drying equipment.

Based on the existing configuration, we adjusted the feed inlet height, transmission power and discharge conveying angle of the pelletizer to ensure that the equipment can be seamlessly integrated into the original process and minimize the customer's transformation investment.

2. Optimized design for high-fiber cow dung

Traditional organic fertilizer pelletizers are prone to die hole clogging and roller slippage when processing cow dung. Our ring die organic fertilizer granulator machine in Argentina adopts a stepped variable diameter die hole design.

The inlet section has a larger aperture to facilitate the entry of fiber materials, and the outlet section is gradually compressed to ensure the density of the particles. At the same time, the surface of the roller is added with anti-slip textures, and the hydraulic automatic tensioning system is used to effectively prevent the material from sticking.

3. Stable high-yield performance

The FZLH350 organic fertilizer cow dung pellet making machine is driven by a 37kW variable frequency motor. Through the intelligent load adjustment system, it can automatically adjust the speed when the raw material fluctuates, and maintain a stable production capacity of 5-5.5 tons/hour.

The measured data shows that even when the moisture content of cow dung fluctuates by ±3%, the equipment can still operate at full load, which completely solves the production capacity bottleneck problem of the customer's original machine.

4. Long life and low maintenance cost

The key component of the equipment, the ring die, is carburized with alloy steel, and its wear resistance is more than 2 times higher than that of ordinary molds. According to customer feedback, after 6 months of continuous operation, the mold still does not need to be replaced, while the original equipment needs to be shut down for maintenance every 2 months.

Implementation effect and customer benefits

After the new organic fertilizer granulator was put into production, the efficiency of the organic fertilizer production line of the customer's ranch was significantly improved:

1. The production capacity doubled:
   the actual hourly output was stabilized at 5.2 tons, and the annual cow dung processing capacity increased from 6,000 tons to 12,000 tons;
2. The quality of the pellets was optimized:
   the molding rate increased from 65% to 92%, the crushing strength of the pellets reached 18N, and the transportation damage rate was reduced to less than 3%;
3. Economic benefits:
   due to the release of production capacity and the improvement of quality, the sales of organic fertilizer increased by 40%, and it is expected that the equipment investment cost can be recovered in 2.5 years.
4. The farm manager commented:
   "RICHI's granulator not only solved our production bottleneck, but also helped open up the high-end fertilizer market. Now our granular organic fertilizer is even exported to the organic blueberry planting base in Chile."

This organic fertilizer granulator machine in Argentina project proves that it is crucial to choose the right granulation technology for the high-fiber cow dung characteristics of Argentina's livestock industry. RICHI ring die organic fertilizer granulator has become an ideal choice for farm organic fertilizer upgrades due to its high adaptability, stable production capacity and low maintenance design.

For South American customers who plan to invest in organic fertilizer production projects, we recommend:

• Give priority to the matching degree of equipment with existing production lines;
• Choose a granulation structure optimized for high-moisture and high-fiber raw materials;
• Ensure that the supplier has localized service capabilities to reduce operational risks.
