Agitator granulator, also known as fertilizer mixing granulator or agitator granulator, is an organic fertilizer granulator, especially suitable for processing chicken manure into valuable fertilizer pellets. It is becoming more and more popular due to its high efficiency, strong adaptability, and ability to handle high moisture materials.

Working Process

The stirring tooth granulator utilizes a unique combination of mechanical and aerodynamic forces to achieve granulation:

Material Input: Powdered or crushed chicken manure (ideally around 50 mesh) is fed into the machine through the feed port.

Mixing and Granulation: A main shaft with stirring teeth rotates at high speed inside the granulator. This creates a strong stirring force and centrifugal force. The teeth mix, collide, and densify the manure powder.

Pellet Formation: The material is continuously mixed, granulated, spheroidized, and compacted, forming spherical granules. The particle size can be adjusted by controlling the amount of material, the spindle speed, and the moisture content.

Discharge: Qualified granules are discharged from the outlet. Hot air can be introduced to aid in drying and molding.

Polishing (Optional): Some machines include a polishing section to create more uniform and solid pellets.

Screening (Optional): A screener can be used to separate the pellets by size.

Applications

Stirring tooth granulators are versatile and can process various organic materials, including:

Chicken manure, pig manure, cow manure, and other animal manures

Composted materials

Agricultural waste (straw, bean dregs, mushroom residue)

Industrial waste

Municipal sludge

The machine is particularly effective in agricultural fertilizer production, soil conditioner production, and granulation of chemical products.

Features and Advantages

High Granulation Rate: Achieves a high granulation rate, typically over 90% and up to 95%, minimizing material waste.

Handles High Moisture Content: Can granulate materials with a moisture content of 20% to 40% (and even higher in some cases), reducing or eliminating the need for pre-drying.

Produces Spherical Granules: Creates round, smooth, and uniform granules with good strength and a size between 0.3-8mm.

No Binder Required: The granulation process relies on the inherent properties of the organic materials, eliminating the need for binders and additives in many cases.

Energy Efficient: Reduces energy consumption by minimizing drying requirements and utilizing efficient mixing and granulation techniques.

Durable Construction: Made with thickened seamless steel pipes and a solid base for stable operation and long service life.

Easy to Operate and Maintain: Designed for simple operation and easy maintenance.

Adaptable: Can be used in combination with other equipment like crushers, mixers, dryers, coolers, and screeners to create a complete production line.

Why it's Suitable for Chicken Manure Granulation

The stirring tooth granulator is particularly well-suited for chicken manure granulation due to the following reasons:

Handles High Moisture Content: Chicken manure often has a high moisture content, which the stirring tooth granulator can effectively manage.

Effective Mixing: The stirring teeth ensure thorough mixing of the manure, promoting uniform pellet formation and nutrient distribution.

Fine Particle Granulation: The machine is designed to granulate fine powder materials, which is ideal for processed chicken manure.

High Organic Content: It can produce fertilizer with a high organic matter content, maximizing the benefits for soil health.

By using a stirring tooth granulator, you can transform chicken manure into a valuable organic fertilizer that improves soil fertility, reduces waste, and promotes sustainable agriculture.
