En general, a cow produces 30 kg of manure a day, a sheep generates 3 kg of manure per day and a pig produces 8kg a day. The customer from South Africa has 1000 cows, 2500 sheep and 600 pigs in the farms. Por lo tanto, they will produce about 42 tons of fresh animal manure a day. Then how many tons of organic fertilizer can you make from these 42 tons of animal waste? Considering that fresh manure is a mixture of water and solids and usually moisture content is 1/3. So you can get 14 tons of organic fertilizer at least after aerobic composting.

Polishing your granular organic fertilizer

If you choose to buy flat die granulator for your animal manure processing, you will get columnar organic fertilizer pellets. But sometimes, you may want to turn them into spherical granules. Aquí, fertilizer polishing machine puede ayudarte mucho. Además, it can also be used for improving the appearance of your round fertilizer pellets.

Drying and cooling your fertilizer pellets

When you use wet organic fertilizer machine to granulate your animal manure material, it is necessary to purchase secadora and cooler. They can greatly remove the excessive moisture of your granular organic fertilizer. So your final fertilizer will not be easy to stick to and convenient to transport and store.
