How to choose a fertilizer grinder when processing organic fertilizer from sheep manure

2024/09/20
 

Sheep manure, as a high-quality organic fertilizer raw material, contains abundant nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and various trace elements, making it very suitable for making high-quality organic fertilizers. Choosing a suitable fertilizer grinder is one of the crucial steps in the process of processing it into organic fertilizer. Here are some suggestions on how to choose a fertilizer grinder based on the characteristics and processing needs of sheep manure:

Understand the characteristics of sheep manure

Moisture content: The moisture content of sheep manure directly affects the difficulty and efficiency of crushing. Generally speaking, the moisture content should be between 30% -40%, at which point the sheep manure is easy to crush and will not adhere too much.

Cellulose content: Sheep manure contains a certain proportion of undigested plant fibers, which determines that the crusher needs sufficient cutting and grinding capabilities.

Agglomeration tendency: Fresh sheep manure is prone to clumping, especially under humid conditions. It is important to choose a pulverizer that can effectively break these clumps.

Consider processing requirements

Expected output: What is your daily processing capacity? This will determine how much fertilizer grinder capacity you need.

Finished product requirements: How fine do you want the final organic fertilizer powder to be? Different application scenarios have different requirements for granularity.

Space constraint: How much space does your factory have to accommodate fertilizer grinders? Some large equipment requires sufficient space and height.

Compare different types of crushers

Chain crusher: suitable for crushing various dry and wet organic materials, especially suitable for crushing materials with certain humidity and containing fibers. Its advantages lie in strong processing capacity and high crushing efficiency, but it may accelerate equipment wear and tear for materials with excessively high hardness.

Hammer crusher: It uses high-speed rotating hammers to strike materials and is suitable for crushing dry and soft materials. If the sheep manure is already dry enough, this grinder can work well.

Roll press crusher: It uses two relatively rotating rollers to squeeze materials, suitable for crushing materials with moderate hardness and without a large amount of fibers. For partially dried sheep manure, this is a good choice.

Cage crusher: Especially suitable for processing materials with high moisture content, such as fresh or semi dry sheep manure. It can effectively break down clumps while maintaining low energy consumption.

matters needing attention

Safety: Ensure that the selected fertilizer grinder has comprehensive safety protection measures, such as emergency stop buttons, dust and noise reduction designs.

Easy to clean and maintain: Choose crushers that are well-designed, easy to clean and maintain on a daily basis, which can extend equipment life and reduce downtime.

Cost benefit analysis: Compare the initial investment costs and long-term operating costs of different models, including electricity consumption, maintenance costs, and the cost of replacing parts.

Action before final decision

If possible, request equipment suppliers to provide sample testing opportunities to witness the performance of the crusher firsthand.

Seek the opinions of industry experts, especially those who have successfully applied a certain type of crusher in similar environments, to share their experiences.

Through careful research and comparison, combined with your actual situation, you can choose the most suitable fertilizer grinder for processing sheep manure, laying a solid foundation for producing high-quality organic fertilizers.
