RICHI's patented animal manure pellet mill has an innovative feeding mechanism that ensures uniform and reliable feeding. It is specially designed for livestock manure and poultry manure materials;
The ring die cow dung pellet making machine is mainly composed of feeding, mixing, granulating, transmission and lubrication systems, etc. It is used to develop the wet powder into the required pellets, and it can also crush the bulk dry powder into the required pellets.
During the working process of cow manure pellet making machine die and the roller, the ring die is driven by the main power of the motor to rotate clockwise at a certain speed; as material enters the granulating chamber, the material starts to be taken into the working area, and the cattle manure pellet machine pressure roller is also driven by friction. With the rotation of the die roll, the ingested material moves forward faster, and the extrusion force and the density of the material gradually increase.
When the cow manure fertilizer pellet machine extrusion force is increased enough to overcome the friction between the material in the die hole and the inner wall, the material with a certain density and cohesive force is squeezed into the ring die hole. Due to the continuous rotation of the die and roll, the material is continuously squeezed into the ring die hole.
Therefore, the material in the ring die hole is continuously squeezed out of the ring die hole after being formed, and is cut by the cutter to form cow dung pellets.

The physical state and proportion of cattle manure raw materials of each customer are different. However, for the cow dung granulation process, before entering the cow manure granulator, no matter what the size, moisture, impurity content and proportion of your original raw materials are, they must meet the granulation standards before being sent to the cattle manure granulation system. In addition, there are significant differences in raw material processing requirements and granulation parameters between cow dung granulators and chicken dung granulators, which are mainly reflected in physical properties, nutrient composition and processing adaptability.
Crushed particle size ≤ 5mm (high fiber content, strong crushing is required). Because most cow dung contains undigested straw and grass, the fiber is coarser and harder
The moisture content is controlled between 12% and 25%. (Adjusted according to the addition of auxiliary materials)
The content of impurities such as sand, gravel, and metal should be ≤1% (foreign matter is easily mixed into the pasture)
Cow dung has a lower carbon-nitrogen ratio (≈18:1), so high-carbon auxiliary materials (straw/wood chips) need to be added to reach 25-40:1
Ring die hole diameter, commonly used 4-8mm, can be customized according to customer needs (Cow dung fiber is easy to block small aperture mold);
Ring die compression ratio: 1:6 to 1:8;
Pelletizing temperature: 60-75℃;
The raw materials for cow dung pelleting do not necessarily need to be fermented in advance, but whether it is fermented will directly affect the quality, production efficiency and final use of the pellets.

The initial quality was outstanding, with great attention to detail in all the mechanical assemblies. This emphasis on quality is crucial in ensuring the longevity and reliability of the machinery, which is essential in the demanding field of organic fertilizer.
We have made great strides, not only at the process level and flexibility, but also in reducing order lead times.
The processing flow of cow dung fertilizer pellets is a systematic production process, which requires strict control of process parameters in each link. The main processing techniques include dehydration, impurity removal, crushing, mixing, fermentation, drying, granulation, cooling, coating, screening, packaging, etc.
In addition, it is also necessary to configure air compression system, boiler system, conveying system, biological deodorization system, dust removal system, fully automatic control system, full process monitoring system, etc. This complete processing system ensures the quality stability and environmental protection of cow dung fertilizer pellets. In addition to the necessary processes, customers can flexibly configure production processes and equipment according to raw materials and product needs.
Assume that the raw material is fresh cow dung. Fresh cow dung is first treated with solid-liquid separation, and a screw extrusion dehydrator is used to reduce the moisture content from the original 75-85% to 55-60%. This link pays special attention to removing mixed bedding and foreign matter.
→The dehydrated cow dung raw material enters the crushing process. Unlike chicken manure, cow dung usually needs to be equipped with a powerful double-shaft crusher or a vertical crusher due to its high fiber content to crush the material into uniform particles of 3-5mm.
→The mixing link adopts a batch mixing system, and scientific proportions are made according to the purpose of the final product. A typical fertilizer formula includes 65% cow dung, 25% straw powder and 10% humus soil, and 0.5-1% special fermentation agent is added.
→The fermentation process adopts an advanced trough aerobic fermentation system, equipped with an automatic turning device, which turns every 8 hours to maintain the temperature of the pile at 55-65℃ for 15-20 days. This stage pays special attention to oxygen content control.
→The drying system adopts an energy-saving three-pass drum dryer or belt dryer, and the moisture content of the final product is controlled below 12%. The FZLH cow dung granulator is used in the granulation process. Due to the fiber characteristics of cow dung, the mold compression ratio is usually set between 1:6 and 1:8, the mold hole diameter is 4-10mm, and the working temperature is maintained at 70-80℃ to ensure the molding effect.
→The coating process selects different coating materials according to the product positioning. Ordinary products use mineral oil-based coatings, and high-end organic products use vegetable oil-based coatings. Our precision spraying system can achieve a coating uniformity error of less than 3%. The cooling process uses a counter-current coolerwith a dehumidification system to reduce the particle temperature from 85°C to the ambient temperature ±5°C.
→The screening process is equipped with a multi-layer probability screen to effectively separate the finished product, crushed material and powder. Our system can automatically adjust the screen amplitude to ensure that the screening efficiency reaches more than 98%. The packaging process uses a fully automatic quantitative packaging machine, and the packaging specifications can be adjusted to 5-50kg, 500kg or 1 ton according to market demand.
→In addition to the above main sections, a complete processing system also requires the support of many auxiliary systems. They include conveying system (all closed conveyors), deodorization system, dust removal system, air compression system, boiler system, fully automatic control system, liquid addition system, etc. We will customize and design a complete process for customers based on various factors such as raw materials, production scale, plant structure and size, and customer budget.
→At RICHI MACHINERY, we provide not only the core cow dung pellet making machine but also all supporting equipment required to build a fully automated cattle manure pellet production line.

Building a cow dung pellet processing plant requires multiple steps, from preliminary planning to final production. The following are the main processes:
You must have many questions about our cow dung pellet machine & pellet plants, please feel free to contact us, our technical consultants will answer your questions as soon as possible!
When processing cow dung pellets, cow dung can be used as the core raw material, but other auxiliary materials or functional materials are usually needed to optimize the physical properties, nutritional ratio or specific performance of the pellets.
For example:
Cow dung has a high moisture content (70-80%), and direct pelleting is easy to stick to the mold. Straw and sawdust (10-30%) need to be added to reduce humidity and enhance air permeability.
The carbon-nitrogen ratio of cow dung (C/N≈20:1) is ideal, but the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content is low (N 0.5-1.5%, P 0.2-0.5%, K 0.5-1%), and minerals (such as phosphate rock powder) or high-nitrogen raw materials (such as soybean meal) need to be added.
In addition, when processing cow dung pellets, the raw materials can be mixed with chicken manure, sheep manure, horse manure and other various animal manure and agricultural and forestry waste.
Yes, but certain conditions must be met.
Cow dung can be made into fuel pellets through cow dung pellet making machine after proper treatment, but its calorific value and combustion characteristics are different from those of wood pellets. The following key points should be noted:
The calorific value of pure cow dung pellets is about 12-14 MJ/kg (wood pellets are usually 16-18 MJ/kg), and high calorific value materials (such as wood chips and straw) need to be mixed to increase the calorific value.
Recommended formula: cow dung (50%) + wood chips (40%) + starch adhesive (10%), the calorific value can reach 14-16 MJ/kg.
The ash content of cow dung after combustion is about 10-20% (wood pellets <2%), so it is necessary to choose an ash-resistant boiler or clean the furnace regularly.
Drying: The moisture content needs to be reduced to <15% (fresh cow dung contains 70-80% moisture).
Deodorization and sterilization: High temperature (>70℃) or adding lime to inhibit odor and pathogens.
Usually the same ring die cow dung pellet making machine, but the process parameters need to be adjusted.
Comparison items | Cow dung fuel pellets | Cow dung organic fertilizer pellets |
---|---|---|
Core equipment | Ring die cattle manure pelletizer (universal) | Ring die cattle manure pelletizer (universal) |
Process differences | 1. Raw materials need to be drier (moisture content <12%) 2. High pressure compression (increase density) 3. Combustion aids (such as sawdust) may be added |
1. Allow higher moisture content (15-20%) 2. Add fermentation agent 3. Focus on nutrient retention |
Mold parameters | Small aperture (6-8mm), high compression ratio | Large aperture (8-10mm), low compression ratio |
Subsequent processing | Direct packaging after cooling | Second fermentation required (if not fully decomposed) |
Suitable for industrial boilers or mixed combustion (such as mixing with coal/wood chips), home heating stoves may be easily clogged.
Must comply with local fuel standards (such as EU ENplus or US PFI).
Must be thoroughly decomposed (GI>80%) to avoid root burning.
Heavy metals (such as arsenic and cadmium) must be lower than agricultural standards.
When switching products: need to clean the mold and adjust the roller pressure (fuel pellets require higher pressure).
Maintenance frequency: Cow dung has a high sand content and the mold wears quickly, so the cow dung pellet making machine ring die and roller need to be checked regularly.
Whether cow dung is more suitable to be processed into organic fertilizer pellets or fuel pellets needs to be comprehensively evaluated based on raw material characteristics, market demand, policy support and economic feasibility.
Cow dung is naturally suitable for making organic fertilizer, but additional processing is required for processing into fuel. The calorific value is low (12-14 MJ/kg), and needs to be mixed with sawdust to increase the calorific value.
Agricultural demand: Improve soil structure, especially suitable for degraded farmland (such as saline-alkali land in China and barren soil in Africa). In line with the trend of organic agriculture (EU/China policy promotion).
High added value: High-quality organic fertilizer is sold at $200-500/ton (much higher than $80-150/ton for fuel pellets).
Energy substitution: It can be used as a cheap fuel in areas with a shortage of electricity and coal (such as rural India). Co-firing with coal can reduce carbon emissions (piloted in some European power plants).
Simple processing: No need for composting, shortening the process (but strict drying is required).
Item | Organic fertilizer pellets | Fuel pellets |
---|---|---|
Pretreatment cost | Medium (fermentation is required, but deep drying is not required) | High (drying energy consumption accounts for 30% of the total cost) |
Equipment investment | Same (ring die pelletizer is required) | Same |
Market demand | Stable (rigid agricultural demand) | Fluctuating (affected by fossil energy prices) |
Policy subsidies | Supported by many countries | A few countries |
Local organic farms, fruit and vegetable bases or soil remediation projects.
Policy support (such as subsidies, tax exemptions).
The source of cow dung is stable and has high nitrogen and phosphorus content.
Energy shortage (such as areas without grid coverage).
Mature market for mixed combustion (such as European biomass power plants).
Lack of sales channels for organic fertilizers.
Nowadays, cow dung pellets are mainly used as organic fertilizer and biomass energy, but the process and equipment of the two types of cow dung pellets are very different. Since cow dung is mainly used as organic fertilizer, the content of this page mainly expands the content of the cow dung organic fertilizer production line. When cow dung is used as biomass energy, you can directly refer to: Biomass pellet production line
Many studies at home and abroad have shown that as fertilizer, livestock manure can not only solve the way out of waste, but also improve and fertilize the soil. Therefore, it is an ideal disposal method and is generally favored by countries all over the world.
However, if the livestock and poultry manure produced by large-scale breeding is directly sold as fertilizer, it is often difficult to form a market due to high transportation costs and inconvenient operations.
On the basis of the harmless and stabilizing treatment of livestock and poultry manure, processing it into commercial organic fertilizer or organic & inorganic compound fertilizer has a stable product market and is a resource-based approach that conforms to the national conditions of many countries.
Do you want to know how to use the cow dung fertilizer machine to make cow manure balls? Then we will tell you the main process about the cow manure fertilizer pellet production.
If you want to get the granulated cow manure, you should have the cow manure fertilizer powder before. And how can you get the powdery cow manure? You had better use a compost turner to help you get it. After that, you can get the fermented cow manure fertilizer powder by using the organic fertilizer compost turner.
The powdered cow manure fertilizer is uniformly fed into the cow dung pellet making machine-new type through the conveyor belt. Finally, the high speed rotary mechanical stirring force and the resulting aerodynamic force will turn the cow manure fertilizer powder into fertilizer pellets quickly.
Cow dung, from the point of view of cattle farms, is a kind of waste. Can cow dung be re-developed and fully utilized? It has become the focus of people's attention. However, this problem is no longer a difficult point. As many countries and regions attach importance to this aspect, in order to develop the organic fertilizer industry, various advocacy and encouragement policies have emerged, and the time for the large-scale and industrialized development of cattle manure commercial organic fertilizer has become more and more mature.
Cow dung can be made into high-quality organic fertilizer products after fermentation. Cow manure contains 14.5% organic matter, 0.30-0.45% nitrogen, 0.15-0.25% phosphorus, and 0.10-0.15% potassium. Cow manure organic fertilizer is a cold fertilizer. The organic matter and nutrient content is low in all kinds of livestock. It has a fine texture, slow decomposition, and low calorific value. It is a late-acting fertilizer and is suitable for base fertilizer.
After the cow dung is processed and pelletized, it can generate more than 3,500 calories after burning as a biomass pellet, which is almost the same as the lignite produced in many countries and regions, but the cost can be reduced by 30%, and more Environmental protection, the small amount of manure ash produced after combustion can also be used as organic fertilizer, which can achieve zero waste discharge in the whole process.
Compared with other fuels, cow dung is cheaper than propane, most natural gas and electricity. In addition, it is also very effective. Where wood is very scarce, cow dung can be used as a substitute and used to reduce wood consumption pressure. In addition, cow dung requires a short collection time and is easy to obtain. Cow dung contains a reasonable amount of energy and can be used as a sustainable and renewable fuel source. It can also reduce the disposal costs of odors and other nuisances associated with large-scale farms.
Because of the many disadvantages of directly using cow dung as fuel, cow dung fuel pellets seem to be a better choice. After pelletizing, the volume of cow dung fuel pellets is three times smaller than the original volume, but the burning time will be extended by three to four times. During the combustion process, no obvious dust or ash is discharged, and the density of the discharged ash is much lower, which can meet environmental protection standards.

Cow dung is a waste produced by many cattle farms. A large dairy farm may produce tens of tons of cow dung a day. If it is not treated in time, it may pollute our environment and water sources. After analyzing cow manure, it is found that it is rich in minerals and nutrients, and the organic content is higher than chicken manure. This is why many people make cow manure into fertilizer pellets.
Studies have found that cow dung is the best choice for pelleting by cow dung pellet making machine. Cow dung can not only be made into fertilizer pellets, but also into fuel pellets. This is because cows eat a variety of foods, such as grass, leaves, grains, wheat straw, etc., and chew the food thoroughly. Therefore, cow dung is composed of many combustible fibers, and it is also a good choice to make fuel pellets.
There are many types of cow dung, and the purpose of cow dung is mainly from the way it is processed. Generally, the cow dung in large farms will be treated, not the cow dung released from the steak, such as solid-liquid separation after washing, such as using litter such as sand, soil, etc. as the litter, such as using bacterial residue as the litter.
In addition, the manure of beef cattle is different from that of dairy cows. The manure of dairy cows has higher organic matter and nutrients, and the organic matter of beef cattle is lower. Pure cow manure is a very good raw material as organic fertilizer and microbial fertilizer carrier. Because of its moderate carbon-nitrogen ratio between 20 and 35, it first needs to control the water content between 50-65.
Fermentation bacteria are usually withered grass and wood. Mold, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus oryzae are better combined. After 30 days of aerobic fermentation, the fermentation will be good. After the moisture is controlled, the nutrition and other technical indicators can be used as commercial organic fertilizer and microbial fertilizer.
Cow dung has less protein content and more grass fiber. It is suitable for places where the soil is sticky and needs improvement. It can effectively increase the air permeability of the soil and supplement nutrients. It is suitable for crops that require loose and fertile soil! It is more suitable for foliage plants.
Chicken manure has high protein content, high calories, more comprehensive nutritional elements, suitable for soil physical properties, and places where nutrients are incomplete or low, which can effectively supplement the growth needs of plants, and is more suitable for flowering and fruiting plants.
The main components of cow manure and chicken manure are different. Generally speaking, cow dung contains more crude fiber, because cows mainly feed on grass. Chicken manure is generally finer and usually includes some undigested feed.
If these two kinds of manure are used as fertilizer, they must be fermented, which is commonly referred to as compost, to reduce odor and increase fertilizer efficiency. Both are considered organic fertilizers. After composting, chicken manure is more effective.
However, it should be noted that chicken manure is rich in organic matter, which is good for crop growth. It also contains fiber and carbohydrates. However, if chicken manure is used as fertilizer, the dosage must be controlled because chicken manure is acidic. Yes, if it is used too much, it will cause soil acidification, reduce crop yields, and may also cause the roots of crops to corrode.
The output of chicken manure is relatively small, and it is unrealistic to use chicken manure for fertilization, so generally straw is used as fertilizer first, and then chicken manure is used as additional fertilizer.
Compared with chicken manure, the nutritional value of cow manure is not so high. Although it contains a certain amount of organic matter, the organic matter cannot be decomposed, and the oxygen and nitrogen contained in it are much lower than chicken manure.
However, cow dung has an incomparable benefit to chicken dung, that is, although it is relatively weak in fatness, it is relatively mild in nature, and has the characteristics of ventilation, so it can be used on poor soils to improve the soil. The quality of the fertilizer is generally used together with horse manure, and then an appropriate amount of phosphate rock powder is added to it to get the best fertilizer efficiency.

Comprehensive Utilization Of Cattle Manure
Globally, the prospects for cow dung pellet processing show significant regional differences:
Asia has become a growth engine with its large cattle base (accounting for 40% of the world) and policy dividends (such as China's manure resource subsidies and India's "Gobardhan" plan), and is particularly suitable for the development of "fertilizer-fuel" dual-purpose pellets.
Driven by strict environmental regulations (EU Nitrates Directive) and high value-added agricultural demand, Europe focuses on high-end organic fertilizer and biogas residue pelletization. Although the equipment investment threshold is high, the price per ton can reach a premium level of 800-1200 euros.
North America relies on large-scale ranches and precision agriculture technology to combine cow dung pellets with carbon trading. Ranches in the Midwest of the United States achieve additional income by selling carbon credits. South America focuses on solving the problem of pasture pollution. Brazilian biochar composite pellets have become a tool for remediation of degraded soils, while Colombian coffee farms pay a 30% premium for organic certified fertilizers.
With the support of low-cost labor and international aid, Africa not only meets local fertilizer replacement needs (such as tea planting in Kenya), but also innovatively uses it for desertification prevention and control on the edge of the Sahara.
Oceania is developing customized granular fertilizers around carbon reduction targets (New Zealand's requirement to reduce methane emissions by 30% on pastures) and boutique agriculture (Australian organic wine). Although the market size is limited, it is profitable.
Despite the challenges of high raw material collection costs (free-range pastures) and intensified regional market competition, policy subsidies (such as India's 30% equipment subsidy), large-scale production (40% reduction in ton production line costs) and differentiated products (customized formula fertilizers) can effectively improve profitability.
Overall, cow dung pellet processing has both environmental benefits and commercial sustainability. The global market size is expected to exceed US$20 billion in the next five years, especially in developing countries (Asia, Africa) and mature organic agriculture areas (Europe, North America). It will show explosive growth.
