2-2.5T/H Poultry Litter Pellet Production Line in Palestine

Project Background

The client's decision stems from a deep understanding of the reality of Palestinian agriculture:

• Resource limitations: Israel's control over wood imports has caused the price of traditional wood chip bedding to soar to $220/ton;
• Sanitary needs: The incidence of disease in local poultry farms due to poor bedding quality is as high as 25%;
• Raw material opportunities: The olive oil industry produces 150,000 tons of pruning branches each year, and the current incineration treatment causes pollution;
• Employment creation: The project can directly create 12 jobs and meet the assistance standards of the United Nations Development Program.

The poultry litter pellet production line in Palestine mainly produces two core products:

• Standard poultry bedding particles: Φ6-8mm, water absorption rate ≥300%;
• Medicinal bedding: Add natural thyme extract to prevent respiratory diseases.

Raw material innovation and localization plan

The poultry litter pellet production line in Palestine makes full use of agricultural waste unique to Palestine:

Main raw material composition

• Core raw material: olive branches (accounting for 60%, with a stable annual supply);
• Auxiliary materials: almond shells (20%, from nut processing plants in the Bethlehem area);
• Binder: fig gum (10%, a local traditional adhesive material);
• Functional addition: Dead Sea salt powder (10%, a natural disinfectant).

Three major breakthroughs in the formula

• Development of "low-temperature crushing" technology to process olive branches, retaining the natural antibacterial ingredient oleuropein;
• Innovative use of fig gum instead of industrial adhesives, so that the particles slowly release natural sugars after contact with water (promoting the reproduction of probiotics);
• Adding 5% Dead Sea mineral salts significantly reduces the incidence of poultry foot pad inflammation.

Full analysis of the production process

This "segmented" poultry litter pellet production line in Palestine adopts a flexible process design with Palestinian characteristics, perfectly adapting to the production environment in turbulent areas:

Raw material pretreatment stage

Taking into account the Palestinian In order to cope with the frequent power outages in Palestine, three independent systems were designed:

1. Manual slicing: Hiring local women to use simple tools to cut olive branches into 5-8cm segments (creating jobs).
2. Solar drying: Building a greenhouse-style drying shed to reduce the moisture content from 45% to 18% using the abundant sunshine in Palestine (3000+ hours of sunshine per year).
3. Safe storage: The raw material storage area adopts a bulletproof design (adapting to the characteristics of conflict areas).

Core granulation section

Special design for intermittent power supply in Palestine:

1. Dual-powered crusher: It can be driven by electricity (30kW) or connected to the tractor power output shaft;
2. Flexible production mode: The granulation section can operate independently and continue to use diesel generators for power supply during power outages;
3. Simple conditioning system: Use the waste heat generated during the production process to preheat the raw materials (saving 35% energy).

Post-processing innovation

1. Crumbling process: moderately crush the pellets to form a fluffier litter structure;
2. Double screening: first remove the powder (reuse), then separate the oversized pellets (re-pelletize);
3. Community packaging: cooperate with local women's cooperatives to use 25kg biodegradable packaging bags.

Diversified applications of the production line

In addition to poultry litter, with simple adjustments, the poultry litter pellet production line in Palestine can also produce:

• Organic fertilizer pellets: add poultry manure to make slow-release fertilizer (certified by the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture);
• Emergency fuel pellets: provide alternative energy during winter fuel shortages;
• Educational toy pellets: dyed to make children's puzzle blocks;
• Warfare supplies: autoclaved as sterile litter for field hospitals.

The most socially significant innovation of the customer is the development of "special litter for refugee camps" - adding natural insect repellent ingredients to help improve sanitary conditions in crowded living environments.

Core equipment configuration list

This $174,000 poultry litter pellet production line in Palestine includes the following key equipment:

• Multifunctional crusher: suitable for high-silicon raw materials, hammer life of 400 hours.
• MZLH520 tough wood pellet mill: standard emergency brake system, main motor 110kW. Wood poultry litter pellet machine and wood cat litter pellet machine are the same type of equipment.
• Natural convection cooling bed: no electricity required, using terrain height difference to achieve cooling.
• Manual crumbling device: labor-intensive design, creating more jobs.
• Explosion-proof packaging workbench: adapt to unstable safety environment.

Improvements for the special environment of Palestine:

• All equipment painted with protective color (military considerations).
• Key components are modularly designed for quick replacement.
• Operation training includes emergency handling courses.

Palestinian market prospect analysis

The successful implementation of this poultry litter pellet production line in Palestine project Shi revealed three major opportunities for local agriculture:

• Import substitution rigid demand: can meet 30% of local poultry litter demand
• International aid window: United Nations Relief and Works Agency for the Near East (UNRWA) promises to purchase 30% of production
• Circular economy policy: Palestinian Environmental Quality Authority exempts agricultural waste utilization projects from tax

Economic benefit forecast:

• Production cost per ton: about US$85 (imported product CIF price US$220)
• Investment payback period: 18 months (after considering international aid)
• Social benefits: 3.5 temporary jobs created per ton of product

The customer has signed a supply agreement with three large chicken farms in the Gaza Strip and innovatively accepted agricultural product replacement payments - farmers can use eggs to offset part of the litter costs. This model is popular in Palestine, where cash flow is tight.

Localized innovative practices

Special solutions generated during the poultry litter pellet production line in Palestine project implementation:

• "Safe production" solution: centralized production during the suspension of conflict, equipped with mobile production line components
• "Women's cooperative" model: local women are responsible for raw material pre-processing and packaging
• "Solar-diesel" hybrid system: adapt to unstable power supply

These innovations make the poultry litter wood pellet production line project not only commercially valuable, but also a model for sustainable agriculture in conflict areas. Compared with traditional imported equipment, this production line, which fully considers the special situation of Palestine, is not only valuable in economic benefits, but also creates unique social stability benefits.

Project timeline and key data

• 2024.01.29: English consultation email received
• 2024.02: Virtual factory inspection completed through video conference
• 2024.03.19: Formal contract signing (including special insurance clauses)
• Equipment price: US$174,330 (CIF Ashdod Port)
• Start-up time: third quarter of 2024

This case vividly demonstrates how to transform constraints into competitive advantages through innovative thinking in a challenging environment.

As the international community pays more attention to the development of Palestinian agriculture, such projects with both economic and social benefits are providing new ideas for industrial reconstruction in conflict areas.

Social impact and operational highlights

• It is expected to digest 5,000 tons of agricultural waste in the first year
• The water absorption performance of the product is 20% higher than that of imported products
• Developed 4 special litters for different poultry
• Nominated for the "Best Agricultural Innovation Award in Palestine"

The most worth learning from this poultry litter pellet production line in Palestine project is its "community embedded" operation model - the production lines are scattered in three relatively safe villages, and the collection, processing and distribution of raw materials are all completed locally to minimize transportation risks.

This decentralized production method is being closely watched by research institutions in similar regions such as Syria and Yemen, and is expected to become a new paradigm for agricultural development in conflict areas. If you want to invest in a poultry litter pellet production line in Palestine project, feel free to contact RICHI MACHINERY to obtain information such as the whole plant design, equipment layout, civil engineering, pellet production line 3D design, equipment quotation, and delivery plan.
