Cow is a common breeding animal, so the output of the cow manure is much more. Evenly, a 50-cow farm can produce 1 ton cow manure every day. How to process the cow manure is a problem that puzzles many people. For this, because cow manure contains the plants needed nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, organic matter, and fiber nutrients. Cow dung can be fertilizer to facilitate the growth of crops and plants. However, you cannot us cow manure as fertilizer directly, it needs some professional processing. How to make cow dung fertilizer? The best solutions are here.
How to Make Cow Dung Fertilizer?
The First Step to Make Cow Dung Fertilizer -Composting Part
Composting is the first step of making cow dung fertilizer. Because it is the key to eliminating the harmful substances in cow manure. First, you should collect your cow manure together. Second, you should reduce the moisture of the cow dung to 50%-60%. Excessive water will affect the fermentation. Here, you can mix some dry agricultural waste such as straw, corn stalk, sawdust, etc. Or you can use a solid-liquid separator, which can help you dry cow manure more quickly. Third, composting your cow manure. For small manure piles, you can easily turn it over. But with large amounts of cow dung, it’s a little more difficult. In this time, you need a compost turner to help you. As a fertilizer machine supplier, SX designs various compost machines for your choice.
The Key Step to Make Cow Dung Fertilizer -Granulating Part
But if you want to make higher quality fertilizer from cattle waste, you can further process cow manure compost into fertilizer granules. Granular fertilizer has uniform nutrients, easy to transport and store, and has a long fertilizer effect. In order to turn compost into fertilizer pellets, you need to buy a suitable cow dung fertilizer granulator. Here, SX can offer you the best one according to your conditions. In fact, granulating is a fine process. If you want to produce the high quality granules, besides granulation, you also need many steps to do.
Before cow manure fertilizer granulation
After composting, there still are agglomerates and some large particles in cow manure material. This will affect the compost granulation effect. So you need a crusher to grind cattle manure cakes into fine powder.
In the process of cow manure fertilizer production, you usually need to add some auxiliary materials. Such as poultry manure for NPK content improvement, bentonite for faster granulation, agricultural waste for C:N ratio adjustment, etc. Here, materials proportions are important. And batching machine can help you a lot.
Then for prepare cow manure fertilizer with a uniform nutrient content, only put various materials is not enough. It is essential to mixing them together evenly after batching. In this way, you can ensure the uniform nutrient content of your final cow manure pellets.
After cattle manure to pellets
After cow manure fertilizer granulation, you need to screen pellets first. to sieve out the fertilizer with required size. So you can get cow manure fertilizer granules with a uniform size and no waste.
Typically, this is an optional process. If you capacity is below 1 t/h, there is no need to use the dryer and cooler. You can choose to adopts sun drying method. Conversely, if your cow dung fertilizer capacity is above 1 t/h, we recommend you buy the cow manure dryer and cooler.
Then the cow dung fertilizer making can enter into the last process-packaging. The automatic package can save time and energy for you.
How to Speed Up the Making Process of Cow Dung Fertilizer?
Composting Cow Dung faster
On the one hand, you can pay attention to compost making process. Then how to decompose cow manure fertilizer faster? You need to focus on the oxygen, temperature and moisture of materials. Only with 5%-15% oxygen content and 40%-60% moisture, the temperature of cow manure piles can increase to 60℃ quickly to kill harmful substances. But relying on the natural conditions, it is not easy to achieve. It is advisable to buy a professional cow manure compost turner. SX compost equipment can help you shorten the composting time to about 20 days.
A Cow Manure Fertilizer Production Line Makes Your Fertilizer Production Faster
On the other hand, the same goes for turn cow manure into fertilizer after composting. The higher the degree of mechanization, the easier and faster cow manure fertilizer production. As a professional manufacturer of fertilizer making machine, we design various cow dung fertilizer production lines for you. Among them, rotary drum granulation line is the most recommended one. In addition, If you have own cow farm or materials sources are close with your cow manure fertilizer making plant, it can greatly reduce the time of material transport.
4 Features of Our Rotary Drum Granulator to Facilitate in Your Granulation Process
High Output
Our drum granulator can meet the processing capacity as small as 1t/h and as large as 30 t/h. For commercial cow dung organic fertilizer production, drum granulator production is popular and earn good feedback from our past customers.
Anti-Sticking Design
There is a layer of rubber lining inside the drum granulator. The rubber is kind of wear-resistant and anti-corrosion material. So the drum granulation machine can withstand the erosion of large scale cow manure fertilizer processing and prolong the service life to the greatest extent.
Special Material
The drum adopts a one-piece spiral tube, and the thickness of the plate is consistent. The entire granulation drum is supported by riding gears and their bases, which are made of wear-resistant materials due to the high-speed rotational force. Secondly, the barrel of the drum granulator is large and must be supported by a solid base. Our base uses carbon steel plate and U-steel, two types of high-temperature and wear-resistant steel.
Clean System
There are many cleaning holes on the granulation drum, this design is to prevent the cow dung material from sticking to the wall. When using small hammers to hit the cleaning holes, the materials that stick to the drum wall will fall immediately.
