Compost Granulator

Compost Granulator: Industrial Organic Fertilizer Pelletizing Solution

Yuxing's YXZG-1540 Compost Granulator turns fermented organic waste into valuable commercial granules. With over 20 years of fertilizer manufacturing experience, this rotating drum granulator produces 3-5 tons of homogeneous pellets per hour at 14 r/min. Over 95% granulation efficiency is achieved with a 1500mm drum, 4000mm processing length, and 7.5kW motor. It handles 20-40% moisture content materials. This industrial-grade solution avoids bulk shipping expenses, minimizes nutrient leaching during storage, and enables precision field application. Our high-manganese steel equipment services fertilizer industries, municipal biosolid facilities, and intensive livestock operations in 50+ countries 24/7.\

How Compost Granulator Works?

Pre-fermented organic material enters the revolving drum at a 2-5 degree angle to start granulation. As precise nozzles spray liquid binder, highly developed lifting flights tumble the material inside the cylinder.

Snowballs form by mechanical tumbling. Spherical cores arise when small particles collide and stick. These cores gather up material layers and develop to 2-5mm diameter when the drum revolves at 14 RPM.

Internal scrapers break up large clumps and disperse sticky material. Wall building is prevented and particle size dispersion is maintained during manufacturing.

Complete granulation happens at temperatures below 60°C using cold-press mechanical friction. Instead of high-heat pelletizing, this low-temperature approach retains beneficial microbes for organic fertilizer efficiency.

The discharge end releases finished granules with enough crushing strength for transport and handling. The adjustable rotation speed and variable-pitch blade design let you modify density and homogeneity to your raw material.

Technical Specifications

Key Industrial Applications

Large-Scale Fertilizer Manufacturing Plants

Industrial businesses processing thousands of tons per month use our rotating drum technology for export-grade pellet homogeneity. The device feeds chicken dung, dairy waste, and mixed organics continuously while preserving granule density for automated packing processes.

Public Biosolids Treatment Facilities

With this high-capacity device, wastewater treatment facilities turn sewage sludge into safe soil conditioners. The adjustable moisture tolerance accommodates seasonal biosolid changes, while the corrosion-resistant stainless steel lining withstands acidic, high-humidity conditions.

Intense livestock operations

At large cow and swine ranches, fermented bedding and manure are turned into commercial goods. Granulation minimizes disposal expenses, decreases environmental liability, and generates cash from agricultural waste.

Centres for recycling organic waste

Mixtures of agricultural leftovers, food waste, and green materials are composted using a Compost Granulator to provide retail-ready soil supplements. Fortified organo-mineral fertilizers can be made by blending inorganic NPK additions during granulation.

Competitive Engineering Advantages

Reliable Production Capability

Our 95%+ efficiency and 3-5 ton hourly throughput come from field-tested drum shape and blade combinations. With minimum downtime, the sturdy mechanical design operates 24/7 in harsh manufacturing conditions.

New Material Handling Technology

High-manganese steel resists sand and organic fiber wear. Under acidic compost conditions, the anti-corrosion treatment extends component lifespan to 12-18 months, reducing maintenance.

Customization Flexibility

Drum length, rotation speed, and electrical characteristics are tailored to manufacturing goals and raw materials. Siemens PLCs, multi-language HMI interfaces, and worldwide voltage standards are CE-certified.

Fully integrated

The granulator smoothly integrates with Yuxing's crushers, mixers, dryers, and packaging equipment to produce organic fertilizer. Our 20+ years of engineering assures optimal material flow and line efficiency.

Fast Delivery & Installation Support

In-stock standard models ship promptly. 15-20 days for custom setups. Our technical staff offers remote video commissioning, on-site training, and 24/7 troubleshooting to reduce project timelines.

Operation & Maintenance Guidelines

Pre-Operation Material Preparation

Crush fibrous materials like straw to below 0.5mm particle size before feeding. This prevents clogging and ensures proper spherical formation. Verify moisture content falls within 25-35% optimal range using simple squeeze tests.

Daily Production Monitoring

Inspect granule crushing strength hourly during initial runs. Adjust liquid binder injection rates if pellets crumble easily or fail to form properly. Monitor drum internal temperature to confirm it remains below 60°C for microbe preservation.

Routine Maintenance Schedule

Clean lifting flights weekly to prevent material buildup that reduces effective drum volume. Lubricate bearing assemblies according to manufacturer specifications. Replace worn scraper blades when granule size distribution becomes inconsistent.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Soft or fragile granules indicate insufficient binder or moisture below 25% threshold. Increase liquid-to-solid ratio gradually. Oversized clumping suggests excessive moisture or rotation speed; reduce both parameters incrementally while monitoring output quality.

FAQ

Q: What raw materials can this product process effectively?

A: The system handles all fermented organic wastes including livestock manure, poultry litter, municipal sludge, agricultural crop residues, food processing waste, and mushroom substrate. Materials must be pre-crushed and contain 20-40% moisture for optimal granulation.

Q: How does granule size affect fertilizer performance?

A: Smaller 2-3mm granules suit broadcast spreaders and provide faster nutrient release. Larger 4-5mm pellets work better in mechanical drills and offer extended slow-release properties. You control size through rotation speed and blade angle adjustments.

Q: Does the granulation process damage beneficial microorganisms?

A: No. The cold-press mechanical method maintains temperatures below 60°C, preserving biological activity essential for organic fertilizer effectiveness. This differentiates our system from high-temperature pelletizing technologies.

Q: What is the expected return on investment timeline?

A: Most customers recover equipment costs within 12-18 months through waste disposal savings and fertilizer sales revenue. ROI varies based on local market prices and feedstock availability.

Q: Can I integrate this with my existing production equipment?

A: Yes. Our engineering team designs custom interfaces for mixers, dryers, and packaging lines from any manufacturer. We provide complete plant layout optimization to maximize your existing infrastructure investment.
