1-1.5T/H Organic Fertilizer Granules Making Machine in Afghanistan

Project Background

This client is the operator of a medium-sized poultry farm. Over the past decade, he has gradually expanded the scale of breeding, and the current breeding scale is stable at around 15,000.

With the increase in chicken manure emissions, traditional composting methods not only occupy a large area and have a long cycle, but are also prone to odor pollution and pest breeding, affecting the quality of life of surrounding residents.

At the same time, the demand for organic fertilizers in the Afghan market is growing rapidly, especially in fruit and vegetable growing areas near the Iranian border.

In view of this, the customer hopes to efficiently convert the manure resources generated during the breeding process into organic fertilizer pellets that meet market standards, which can not only solve the manure treatment problem, but also create a new income channel.

Therefore, the customer finally decided to invest in a FZLH250 organic fertilizer granules making machine in Afghanistan instead of a whole organic fertilizer production line - this is due to cost control, plant restrictions and the current production capacity trial stage.

Source and type of raw materials

Combined with Afghanistan's local agricultural resources and the actual production of the customer, the main raw material of this equipment is poultry manure, especially chicken manure.

In addition, the customer has also tried to mix some pigeon manure, wood ash, crop straw powder and husk powder into chicken manure to optimize the nutrient structure and pellet forming effect of the fertilizer. These raw materials can be obtained at low cost from the customer's farm or nearby farmers, with obvious regional advantages.

Untreated chicken manure contains high proportions of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but has problems such as high humidity, many impurities and strong odor.

The customer will remove large impurities through simple pre-drying and screening steps, and then mix the auxiliary materials in appropriate proportions and send them to the granulation equipment to improve the forming rate and quality stability of the granules.

The key role of the FZLH250 ring die organic fertilizer granulator

The FZLH250 model purchased by the customer has a main motor power of 22KW and an hourly production capacity of 1-1.5 tons. This is a very suitable production capacity range for a medium-sized single-machine application project - it not only meets the daily manure treatment needs, but also has surplus for partial sales conversion.

In the current social and environmental context of Afghanistan, the introduction of this organic fertilizer granules making machine in Afghanistan has the following outstanding significance:

• Obvious ecological benefits: Traditional open-air composting releases a large amount of ammonia and methane. FZLH250 can quickly convert manure into stable granular fertilizer, reducing odor and germ transmission from the source.
• Economic benefits are beginning to emerge: Customers report that organic fertilizer granules processed by the equipment can be directly bagged and sold. Currently, they are mainly sold to surrounding fruit farmers and agricultural cooperatives, and the selling price is more than 3 times higher than the original manure.
• Improve product standardization: Through mechanical molding, the particle size is uniform and the moisture content is reasonably controlled, which is convenient for packaging, transportation and sales, and is also conducive to applying for local or international organic certification in the future.
• Strong potential for industrial extension: Currently only based on chicken manure, in the future, customers plan to expand to intensive acquisition of manure from surrounding farmers, and consider adding automatic feeding, cooling, packaging and other links, and gradually develop into a small organic fertilizer factory.

Versatility and scalability of equipment

Although customers currently use FZLH250 organic fertilizer granules making machine in Afghanistan to mainly produce chicken manure organic fertilizer granules, this equipment actually has a very strong adaptability. Its ring mold structure and pressing principle determine that it can adapt to a variety of viscous and high-organic raw materials. The following are several typical types of particles that the equipment can try to process in the future:

• Organic fertilizer pellets of cow dung and sheep dung: require appropriate pretreatment (dehydration, crushing);
• Composted agricultural waste pellets: such as a mixture of straw, wood chaff and livestock and poultry manure;
• Urban kitchen organic waste pellets: require high-temperature sterilization and dehydration;
• Peat soil and bone meal, stone powder mixed fertilizer pellets: can be used as soil conditioners;
• Biological fertilizer pellets: combined with fermentation bacteria, put on the market as functional fertilizers.

This makes the organic fertilizer pellet machine highly extensible in terms of function. In the future, if customers continue to develop upstream and downstream businesses, they can expand their product lines without replacing the main equipment.

The current situation of Afghanistan's agriculture and opportunities for the development of the organic fertilizer industry

In the current context of Afghanistan's agricultural recovery, the supply of chemical fertilizers has been restricted by unstable import channels and price fluctuations for many years. It is a practical need to promote local organic fertilizer production.

Especially in agricultural production areas dominated by fruits, vegetables, spices and nuts, organic fertilizers are more popular, not only because of their ecological properties, but also because they can improve soil structure, increase yield and stress resistance.

At present, some agricultural projects in Herat, Kandahar, Nangarhar and other places have introduced drip irrigation and greenhouse planting systems, and organic fertilizer has become an indispensable part of these high-value agricultural systems.

From this point of view, although this customer is currently only using single-machine equipment for initial production, his choice is at the key node of agricultural upgrading and transformation.

It is worth mentioning that the granular fertilizer processed by this customer is not only used for peripheral sales, but also supplied to some agricultural cooperation demonstration bases through military cooperative channels to improve soil fertility and promote high-yield agricultural projects.

Unique highlights and innovative perspectives of the project

Unlike traditional large-scale organic fertilizer production lines, this project has several innovative points worth noting:

• Flexible layout, no reliance on industrial parks: customers deploy equipment directly in the marginal areas of the farms, saving logistics and raw material transportation costs.
• Integrated production and sales, quick return on investment: through direct sales of products on social networks and agricultural market platforms, customers achieved initial profitability in less than 6 months.
• Localized test field tracking feedback: customers cooperate with agricultural university students to conduct organic fertilizer application experiments on their own land to obtain data to support continuous optimization of formulas.
• Self-built storage system: To avoid seasonal sales pressure, the customer has set up a simple pellet warehouse to facilitate centralized production in summer and stable supply in winter.

In addition, the organic fertilizer production project introduction process also received assistance from the local technical association and an international agricultural support project, which solved some technical translation and installation training problems.

The transition from chicken manure to business opportunities

For the customer, this FZLH250 ring die organic fertilizer granules making machine in Afghanistan is not only a manure treatment equipment, but also the starting point of an industrial upgrade. Behind the smooth operation of the technology is the customer's in-depth understanding of the pain points of local agriculture, the business vision of resource recycling, and the keen grasp of the future trend of modern agriculture.

In an agricultural country like Afghanistan that faces multiple challenges but has great potential, the promotion and localization of small-scale equipment is one of the effective ways to promote rural economic recovery and the development of ecological agriculture.

With the further optimization of equipment operation, this customer's farm may become a small demonstration model, and will also attract more farmers to think about how to use technology to change production methods and use pellet forms to retain the future of the land. If you are interested in our organic fertilizer granules making machine in Afghanistan, feel free to contact RICHI MACHINERY to get quotes, videos and other information.
