Full Process of Organic Fertilizer Production Line
An bio organic fertilizer production line is a complete set of equipment that transforms organic waste—such as livestock manure, crop straw, food waste, and municipal sludge—into commercial granular organic fertilizer. This is achieved through a systematic process involving pre-treatment, mixing, fermentation, crushing, pelleting, drying, cooling, and packaging. The core objective is to recycle organic waste into a standardized fertilizer product that is easy to store, transport, and apply.
Raw Material Pretreatment
01
This stage begins with breaking open raw material bales (e.g., straw bales), eliminating the need for manual unbinding. The loosened material is then cleaned and screened using equipment such as drum screens, vibrating screens, and suspended magnetic separators to remove impurities (e.g., stones, metal fragments, plastic).
Batching and Mixing
02
Raw materials are weighed and proportioned according to the specific formula. The batched materials are then fed into a mixer, where liquid additives are introduced to adjust moisture content. High-speed mixing ensures a homogeneous blend of solid ingredients and microbial agents.
Fermentation and Composting
03
Raw materials, especially livestock and poultry manure, must undergo fermentation and composting before granulation. This process takes place in fermentation tanks, where high temperatures eliminate pathogens, pest eggs, and weed seeds, ensuring fertilizer safety. Through microbial activity, organic matter is decomposed into nutrient-rich, stable compost.
Crushing
04
The fermented material may still contain small agglomerates and requires fine grinding using a crusher. This step is critical for producing high-quality organic fertilizer pellets, as it prevents poorly formed or easily broken granules caused by oversized particles.
Pelletilizing
05
Crushed raw materials enter the pelletizing chamber, where rollers and the ring die intensely compress them. The material is forced through the ring die holes to form pellets of various specifications.
As the extruded material emerges as elongated strands, high-speed rotating cutters outside the die trim them into uniform-length pellets.
Drying
06
Newly formed granules have a high moisture content and are passed through a dryer where hot air reduces moisture to 10% – 15%, preventing mold and deterioration during storage. In production lines with effective moisture control, this step may sometimes be omitted, proceeding directly to cooling.
Cooling and Screening
07
The dried granules are at an elevated temperature and must be cooled to near ambient levels in a cooler to prevent clumping or secondary fermentation due to heat accumulation. The cooled granules are then screened via a vibrating screen to separate well-formed pellets from fines and broken pieces.
Finished Product Packaging
08
The qualified organic fertilizer pellets are stored in a finished product silo. They are then weighed by an automatic packing scale according to the set weight, dropped into bags, and automatically sealed by a bag sewing machine.

Why should we produce organic fertilizer pellets?
Compared to traditional fertilizers, organic granular fertilizers enable the resource utilization of organic waste—such as livestock and poultry manure, straw, soybean meal, rice bran, wheat bran, food waste, and plant ash—turning waste into valuable resources while delivering both environmental and agricultural benefits. Specific advantages include:
- Waste Management
- Organic waste, including livestock manure, biogas residue, straw, and sludge, can be fermented and composted before being pressed into organic fertilizer pellets, truly transforming waste into a valuable product.
- Fertilizer Quality Enhancement
- During pelletizing, the fertilizer undergoes high-temperature treatment that eliminates pathogens and eggs, improving product safety. Nutrients (such as N, P, K, and other trace elements) can be uniformly mixed with organic matter before granulation, ensuring balanced nutrition in each pellet and preventing uneven nutrient distribution for plants.
- Stable and Long-Lasting Fertilization
- Fertilizer pellets require slow microbial decomposition in the soil to release nutrients, which prevents rapid nutrient loss. This results in a more stable and sustained nutrient supply, reducing the frequency of fertilization.
- Convenient Storage and Transportation
- Organic fertilizer pellets are easy to store and transport, resistant to caking, and help minimize nutrient loss.
- Enhanced Commercial Value
- With their uniform shape and marketable appearance, organic fertilizer pellets are better suited for commercialization, facilitating packaging and sales as a branded product.
- Mechanized Application
- Fertilizer pellets are suitable for mechanical application using equipment such as seeders and fertilizer spreaders, and are also convenient for manual broadcasting, significantly improving fertilization efficiency.
