Because of the large population in the world, the food supply will continue to increase, and the global demand for organic fertilizers will also increase accordingly. Organic vegetables are prominently displayed in some supermarket chains in China. In the current quest for a high-quality life, people are increasingly demanding organic food. High-quality vegetables and fruits grown with organic fertilizers are sent to selling markets around the world every day.
Profiting from manure is a great business opportunity for those who own livestock farms. The greatest use of these seemingly waste feces is to provide nutrients for the growth of plants. Poultry manure is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements, which are indispensable conditions for plant growth. Keep in mind that this is a good time to recycle your cow manure, sheep manure, chicken manure, etc. into organic manure pellets.
So how do you turn your waste into high-quality fertiliser? How do you produce granules of organic fertilizer? Of course it’s not easy, you need a certain machine to help you. As a global supplier of organic fertilizer equipment, our machines have established production lines on land in many countries around the world. From site design to machine selection, Shunxin can help you build an ideal organic fertilizer production line.
- Small Scale Organic Fertilizer Plant
For starters in fertilizer production, starting your own small organic fertilizer business is doable. This is something that can be easily done with a small investment. Among many of our customers, they often operate small farms, such as 500 cows, 1,000 chickens, etc. It is estimated that a cow can produce 20kg of dung per day, so 500 cows will produce 10 tons of dung per day. That’s not a small amount! It’s not an option if you’re just piling around and waiting for it to ferment on its own.
What equipment does a small organic fertilizer production plant need?
What you need to understand is that organic manure production is mainly divided into the composting and production stages, and if you have fresh poultry manure, then the first step you need is to compost your manure. Under normal circumstances, natural composting takes about three months. During this time, you will need to have a small turner to help your manure ferment. Windrow compost turner is relatively affordable composter. In the production stage, you need to purchase a granulator to produce organic fertilizer granules. A small granulator can process manure from your farm. We have disc pelletizers with different output from 0.02-6t/h. This granulator becomes our best-selling machine for producing organic fertilizer in 2022 with abundant output and small footprint.

The first step you need to consider is, how many tons of annual production are you planning to build an organic fertilizer plant? This will determine your capital investment and the size of your plant. A good plan is always a successful start. In general, large-scale organic fertilizer plants are usually started as commercial businesses. In China, large-scale organic fertilizer plants typically produce more than 20,000 tons a year.
So what is the production process? What production equipment is needed?
The following is the configuration of the organic fertilizer production line with an annual output of 50,000 tons designed for you.

- Chicken Manure Organic Fertilizer Plant
In June, we received an email from New Delhi, India. This buyer found our website on Google and became interested in our products. So he sent me an email to inquire about the organic fertilizer production line. “I have more than 800 chickens and 50 cows. They can produce about 1 ton of manure per day. I want to process them into organic fertilizer. I need a complete production line…”


Our buyer, who runs a chicken and cow farm, wants to build a fertilizer plant to process its chicken and cow manure. Our engineers designed for him a SXYZ-1000 disc granulator production line with a production capacity of 0.2-0.3 T/h. In addition to the disc granulator, it also includes batching machines, pulverizers, screening machines and packaging machines.
- Cow Manure Organic Fertilizer Plant
Cow manure organic fertilizer is one of the most commonly used organic fertilizer feedstocks by our customers in recent years. Although there are differences in regions and climates, there are cattle farms all over the world. This means that a cow manure organic fertiliser plant is a beneficial choice for your investment. In 2015, a customer from Indonesia ordered a disc granulator and drum dryer from us. After the machine arrived, he showed us the production of his cow manure organic fertilizer pellets.
The fermented cow dung is directly put into the disc granulator, and the granules produced by the rotation of the disc directly fall on the belt conveyor, enter the dryer, and finally come out as finished cow dung organic fertilizer granules. Clearly, this is not a complete organic fertilizer line. Our engineers designed this simple production line due to the limited funds of our customers. Cow dung pellets can also be created eventually.
- Sugar Waste Filter Cake Organic Fertilizer Plant
Among the raw materials for organic fertilizers, industrial waste is also one of the sources. During the year, a manager who runs a sugar mill contacted us by e-mail. He informed that its sugar mill produces 500kg of sugar mill filter sludge and some cake residues every day. In his search for a solution to the waste, he came up with the idea of making organic fertilizer. After browsing our website on Google, our customized organic fertilizer production line plan for South African customers attracted him. Let us now share the line configuration for this customer.
SXFLF-600 New Type Vertical crusher:First, we have configured a crusher to pulverize large objects in the material.
SXYZ-1800 Disc Granulator:The disc granulator can convert powdery raw materials into granular organic fertilizer through humidification.
Single Shaft Mixer:The mixer will mix the prepared materials evenly.
Static Batching Machine:Considering that the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements of the customer’s raw materials cannot meet the standards for making organic fertilizers, we have configured a three-compartment batching machine. Make various ingredients meet international standards.


SXHG-0808 Rotary Dryer: The dryer reduces the moisture content of the finished granules to less than 10%.
Rotary Cooler: The cooler reduces the heat of the pellets so that they can be packed.

Packing Machine: automatic packing scale, packing granules into bags.
Are you going to produce organic fertilizers? If yes, building an organic fertilizer production line is an investment that can pay off infinitely. The organic fertilizer business is mainly to convert poultry or livestock manure into organic fertilizer. The whole production line includes the following:
- Raw material composting or composted material
- Fertilizer crusher
- Fertilizer mixer
- Fertilizer screening machine
- Fertilizer granulator
- Drying and cooling machine
- Coating machine
- Packing machine
Choosing different machines and different output will affect your cost price. Factors that generally affect the price of a production line include production capacity, production scale, and product configuration. In terms of output, you can consider producing an annual output of 20,000 tons or 30,000 tons. Production lines with a capacity of 50,000 tons or higher. The price of the entire production line ranges from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is best if you have enough budget. Complete supporting facilities help you produce higher quality organic fertilizers.
When you start to produce organic fertilizer, the price of the production line is one of the things you need to pay attention to, because it will greatly affect your equipment usage time, product quality, maintenance cost, etc. From many perspectives, it is very important to choose good quality equipment. Among many of our customers, they have the same question? Why do you see that other suppliers’ equipment is cheaper than our equipment? That’s easy to say, because the material of the equipment is different, and the output is different. Most of Shunxin’s equipment is made of dense steel. We have visited our factory on the spot. The factory has steel cutting machines for the production of key parts. No matter from any angle, we can guarantee the quality of our equipment.
