3–5 T/H Poultry Manure Pellet Machine in Spain

Raw Material Composition

The client’s production relies on a combination of poultry manure and locally available agricultural residues to improve pellet structure and nutrient content. The poultry manure is collected from approximately 12,000 layer hens, typically with a moisture content of 25–30%. The client utilizes an on-site drying system to bring the moisture down to around 18%, which is optimal for efficient pelletizing.

To improve pellet quality and mechanical durability, the client mixes the manure with fibrous agricultural by-products:

• Poultry manure: 60%
• Wheat straw: 30%, sourced from nearby cereal farms
• Olive wood sawdust: 10%, sourced from local olive processing facilities

This combination creates a uniform, dense pellet with enhanced durability, reduced breakage, and balanced nutrient content. The target pellet diameter is 7 mm, suitable for easy distribution in vegetable farms, vineyards, and orchards. The mixture also ensures the pellets remain rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, making them ideal as a high-quality organic fertilizer.

Equipment Selection and Specifications

After evaluating several models, the client chose the FZLH350 poultry manure pellet machine, which is well-suited for medium-scale operations and fibrous raw material mixtures. The technical specifications for the FZLH350 are as follows:

• Main motor power: 37 kW
• Anti-bridging feeder power: 2.2 kW
• Forced feeder power: 0.75 kW
• Ring die diameter: 350 mm
• Adjustable pellet diameter: 4–12 mm (operated at 7 mm for this project)
• Production capacity: 3–5 T/H

The FZLH350 poultry manure pellet machine was selected for its ability to handle fibrous materials efficiently while producing pellets of consistent size and density. Its anti-bridging feeder prevents clogging caused by high-fiber content, while the forced feeder ensures continuous feeding and stable pellet output. The ring die and roller system provide high pellet compression, yielding durable and uniform fertilizer pellets.

This poultry manure pellet machine in Spain integrates easily with existing equipment, allowing the client to process poultry manure efficiently without replacing their entire poultry manure organic fertilizer production line. The client emphasized that investing in a single high-quality machine was a cost-effective strategy to gradually improve production capacity while maintaining flexibility.

Machine Function and Applications

The poultry manure pellet machine in Spain serves as a core piece of equipment for producing high-quality organic fertilizer pellets. Its main functions and benefits include:

• Organic fertilizer production: Converts wet poultry manure combined with wheat straw and olive wood sawdust into nutrient-rich pellets for agricultural use.
• Odor control and sanitation: Pelletizing reduces odor and pathogen levels, making handling and storage safer for staff and complying with Spanish environmental regulations.
• Ease of storage and transport: Dense, uniform pellets are easy to store and transport, facilitating distribution across local farms and agricultural cooperatives.

Unlike some FZLH poultry manure organic fertilizer pellet machine applications that process manure into biomass fuel, this project focuses exclusively on fertilizer production. The uniformity and nutrient content of the pellets are critical for the client’s organic certification and market reputation.

Shipping and Logistics

The FZLH350 poultry manure pellet machine was manufactured at RICHI Machinery’s factory in China and shipped from Qingdao Port to Valencia Port, Spain. After arrival, the equipment was transported to the client’s facility using specialized trucks.

RICHI engineers provided on-site installation, commissioning, and staff training. They guided the client on optimal moisture levels, material mixing ratios, and die adjustment for maximum pellet quality. Additionally, RICHI technicians trained the client’s operators in maintenance procedures, helping to ensure consistent production and minimize downtime.

Advantages of RICHI Equipment

The client selected RICHI machinery due to the following benefits:

• Versatility: Capable of processing various manures (poultry, cattle, pig) and fibrous agricultural residues, enabling flexibility for future expansion.
• Durability: High-quality ring die and roller materials ensure long service life and minimal wear.
• Energy efficiency: Optimized motor and feed systems reduce electricity consumption while maintaining high production output.
• Ease of maintenance: Accessible feeders, simple die replacement, and cleaning features reduce downtime and operational costs.
• Comprehensive support: RICHI offers technical guidance, raw material recommendations, and troubleshooting support to maximize efficiency.

The client emphasized that RICHI’s prompt communication and on-site support played a key role in their decision, ensuring confidence in both product quality and operational reliability.

Customer Feedback

After five months of operation, the client reported the following results:

• “The FZLH350 chicken manure pellet machine produces pellets consistently at 7 mm diameter, and we’ve noticed less breakage during storage and transport.”
• “RICHI’s engineers helped us optimize the poultry manure and wheat straw mix, resulting in denser and more nutrient-rich pellets.”
• “The machine operates smoothly, requires minimal maintenance, and has reduced our energy costs compared to previous methods.”

With the FZLH350, the client is achieving a daily output of 4 tons of high-quality organic fertilizer pellets, supplying local vegetable growers, vineyards, and orchards.

Broader Applications of the FZLH Series

The FZLH series machines offer versatility beyond poultry manure:

• Other animal manures: Cow, pig, and sheep manure can also be processed into pellets when mixed with fibrous residues.
• Biomass pelletizing: Crop residues such as wheat straw, corn stalks, and olive pruning waste can be transformed into biomass fuel pellets.
• Adjustable pellet sizes: Die adjustments allow pellets from 4–12 mm, enabling customization based on market requirements.

This adaptability allows clients to adjust production according to raw material availability or evolving market demand, making the FZLH series a strategic long-term investment.

Conclusion

The poultry manure pellet machine in Spain case highlights how a single FZLH350 unit can transform semi-dried poultry manure mixed with wheat straw and olive wood sawdust into high-quality, nutrient-rich fertilizer pellets. By using the correct raw material ratio and leveraging RICHI’s installation and training support, the client achieved consistent pellet size, improved production efficiency, and enhanced product quality.

This project demonstrates RICHI Machinery’s dedication to providing reliable, versatile, and energy-efficient equipment, coupled with professional customer service. The FZLH350 has proven to be a valuable investment for Spanish fertilizer producers seeking to enhance pellet quality, meet organic standards, and expand market reach.

RICHI Machinery continues to provide clients worldwide with durable pellet machines, technical guidance, and tailored solutions for organic fertilizer and biomass applications, ensuring long-term productivity and satisfaction.
