Frequently Asked Questions
◆ Market study – analyzing target market and organic fertilizer market trends in your country/local (past supply & present demand);
When it comes to selling organic fertilizer, there is indeed a large market. In essence, your target market can’t be restricted to just farmers who are strictly cultivating organic crops, but all those who have been involved in any form of crop cultivation; deciding your annual production quantity based on the present market demand indicated in your market analysis and considering the technological aspect of the project. Usually, an organic fertilizer plant operates double shifts 16 hours a day and 300 days a year.
◆ Site selection
Virtually every aspect of organic fertilizer production and marketing will, at least in part be affected by the choice of the plant site. Proper site selection is a prerequisite to the establishment of safe and effective composting operations. Site selection criteria:
◇organic fertilizer factory sites should be located at such a distance to ensure that there will not be any potential adverse impacts from compost site runoff into surface waters and to promise that the smell of manure fermentation won’t affect people in residential areas.
◇accessibility to customers, suppliers (of raw materials and supporting services), & workers.
◇transportation infrastructure (roads, rail, etc.) and utilities (water, power, and energy supplier).
◇affordability of land, rent
◆ Inputs raw & auxiliary materials
The best material used to make organic fertilizer includes animal wastes from meat processing, peat, manure, slurry, food waste, plant wastes from agriculture, treated sewage sludge, paper scraps, olive leaves, palm oil waste, biogas waste, vinegar residue, sugar mill waste, etc.
◆ Organic Fertilizer Equipment purchasing
◆ Finished organic fertilizer distribution and how to promote your organic fertilizer
For new starters, they would choose a small organic fertilizer plant. To save costs and decrease the occupation space, therefore, some processing machines, such as dryers, and coolers, could be “removed” from the plant layout.
Generally speaking, the organic fertilizer production process includes:
Organic materials crushing (chain crusher) → composting (compost turner) → mixing compost with other ingredients (horizontal blender) → granulation (organic fertilizer granulator) → drying (rotary dryer) → cooling (rotary cooler) → sieving (rotary screen) → packaging (automatic fertilizer packager)
Take a small-scale organic fertilizer production plant (pan granulation production line with an annual output of 5000 tons) for example.
◆ Space needed as below:
Fermentation stage: 20*5m
Granulating stage: 40*18m
◆ It is an auto-processing line. 4 workers are enough to operate and keep the continuous production of organic fertilizer.
◇1 worker for compost turner operation in the fermentation stage
◇1 worker for feeding raw material
◇1 worker for the packing machine
◇1 worker for the control cabinet
◆ For installation, here are two operations:
option 1: buyer install themselves. We provide factory design and layout.
option 2: we can send 2 engineers for installation, commissioning, and training. Buyers should bear visa fees, round tickets, accommodation, etc. with a salary of 150USD per day per engineer. It will take about 20 days to finish the installation and training.
The life span of the main part in the organic fertilizer machine will be 5-8 years, if keep better maintenance, can last for 8-10 years.
The main body (not including the wearing parts) guarantee is one year. During the guarantee period, if the machines are broken without any artificial factors, we will repair the machine for free.
We will provide the spare parts for you at any time.
◆ Composting process: 7-10 days (depending on the local temperature, raw materials, and compost turner). The compost turner with larger output is available to keep the continuous working of the factory.
◆ The organic fertilizer granulation machine with proper production capacity will be chosen for you so that it will achieve continuous granulation and satisfy customers’ requirements on output every day.
45% fruits and vegetable wastes, 30% sewage sludge, 20% agricultural wastes or sawdust, and 5% other nutrients.
The moisture content of the materials should be under 60%. If above 60%, a solid-liquid dewatering machine is required to lower the MC.
1 ton of raw material with 50% moisture content will bring 0.85 tons of final products.
1.2-1.5 tons of raw materials need to be fed in one hour.
