Chicken Manure Pellet Production Line
Surprisingly, chicken manure can be made into pellets and used as organic fertilizer. For a long time, we’ve avoided chicken manure like the plague. Many people’s first reaction to chicken manure is its stench and the difficulty of cleaning it up. Now, RICHI’s chicken manure pellet production line can effectively solve these problems, turning chicken manure from waste into a valuable resource.
How Chicken Manure Pellet Production Works
Richi’s chicken manure pellet production line can transform chicken manure into finished pellets, solving the problem of chicken manure pollution and realizing waste utilization. Next, we will break down this process for you.
Raw Material Processing Section
First, it is essential to strictly control the quality of raw materials. The collected chicken manure may contain impurities such as stones, clods of earth, and iron filings. Appropriate cleaning equipment must be used to clean these impurities to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and the quality of the pellets.
Mixing Section
After the materials enter the mixer, they are mixed with a certain proportion of auxiliary materials such as straw and rice husks to adjust the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio and moisture content. You can adjust the mixing speed according to your needs to ensure that the auxiliary materials and chicken manure are fully mixed, which facilitates subsequent fermentation.
Fermentation Section
In the entire process of chicken manure pellet production, fermentation can be considered the core link, which is the key to achieving “harmlessness and resource utilization”. This step can effectively kill various bacteria and insect eggs carried in chicken manure and remove odors.
Crushing Section
After fermentation, the material is fed into a hammer mill to crush any small amount of clumps that may appear, ensuring that the material has a uniform particle size and thus improving the quality of the granules produced later.
Pelleting Section
The FZLH series pellet mill processes the crushed material into pellets of uniform size and length (4-12mm). At this point, the chicken manure pellets are formed.
Drying Section
The resulting granules still have a relatively high moisture content. To prevent the granules from clumping, becoming moldy, or deteriorating, a dryer is needed to reduce the moisture content to below 12%, thereby improving the hardness of the granules while ensuring their quality.
Cooling & Screening Section
The dried granules are too hot to be packaged directly without skipping this step. They should be cooled to room temperature by a counter-current cooler, and then unqualified materials should be screened out by a grading screen before entering the final stage.
Packaging Section
The compliant granules after screening are packaged by a fully automatic packaging machine. Once packaging is complete, the production of chicken manure granules is finished.
Production Line Applications
Your needs are the driving force behind Richi. Our chicken manure pellet production line is applicable to a variety of scenarios, including organic fertilizer plants, biogas plants, chicken farms, and agricultural cooperatives.
Organic Fertilizer Plant
For organic fertilizer plants, chicken manure, rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, is a low-cost and essential raw material for producing organic fertilizer. However, processing chicken manure into fertilizer is not an easy task. Different types of chicken manure require different processing techniques, and the complex processing procedures present a challenge for many manufacturers. Our chicken manure pellet production line, however, is suitable for processing various types of chicken manure and achieves full automation, easily solving these problems for you.
Chicken Farm
If you run a chicken farm, you’re probably troubled by chicken manure disposal. Our chicken manure pellet production line is designed to solve your problems, processing your long-standing chicken manure into high-value-added pellet products. This not only helps you solve chicken manure-related issues but also brings you additional revenue.
Biogas Plant
Chicken manure can be utilized to produce biogas; however, the subsequent disposal of the resulting biogas residue and liquid presents a significant challenge. Transporting these by-products directly off-site incurs high costs and results in the waste of valuable raw materials for organic fertilizer. By utilizing our chicken manure granulation production line, you can transform this biogas residue into high-value organic fertilizer pellets-a solution that not only resolves the disposal dilemma but also generates profit.
Agricultural Cooperative
For agricultural cooperatives, fertilizer is often a significant expense. You may have previously tried using chicken manure directly as fertilizer, but found that this leads to environmental and soil pollution problems. If you use our chicken manure pellet production line to process chicken manure into fertilizer pellets, you can fully utilize its nutritional value, reducing costs and increasing efficiency for you.

Turkey Manure Pellets
Broiler Chicken Manure Pellets
Layer Hen Manure Pellets
Wet Chicken Manure Pellets
Dry Chicken Manure Pellets
Applicable Raw Materials
Chicken manure pellets are made from inexpensive and readily available raw materials, offering good economic benefits.
Broiler Chicken Manure
Broiler manure is nutritionally balanced, high in organic matter and calcium, with a suitable nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium ratio and moisture content. Its fine texture makes it easy to granulate, making it suitable for organic fertilizer.
Layer Hen Manure
Layer hen manure is high in protein, crude fat, and organic matter, and has strong fertilizing power. To avoid burning chicks, it should be fully decomposed and fermented.
Turkey Manure
Turkey manure is dry and loose, high in fiber, and has a milder nutrient content. It is also low in salt and less irritating, making it suitable for high-quality organic fertilizer.
Dry Chicken Manure
By sun-drying or drying fresh chicken manure, it becomes dried chicken manure. This dried manure has a low moisture content, is easy to store and transport, is less prone to mold, and is convenient to use.
Straw
As a high-fiber raw material, straw is commonly used to adjust the carbon-hydrogen ratio and is an important auxiliary material in chicken manure pellet production.
Rice Husks
With a hard structure and high silicon content, rice husks are often used as an auxiliary material in chicken manure pellet production to improve pellet strength.
