RICHI MACHINERY has successfully commissioned a 6 T/H cow manure organic fertilizer production line in the Netherlands, providing sustainable solutions for dairy farms and crop producers.
Market Background
The Netherlands is known for its intensive dairy sector, generating large volumes of cow manure annually. Efficient manure management is critical for environmental compliance, odor control, and nutrient recycling. Pelletized organic fertilizer allows farmers to convert waste into a valuable, easy-to-apply product.
Raw Material and Composition
Cow manure, mixed with straw and other agricultural residues, serves as the primary feedstock. The line produces pellets rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, suitable for broadacre crops and greenhouse applications.
Process Design and Technical Features
The production line includes:
- Receiving and pre-mixing system
- Fermentation system for composting
- Hammer mill for size reduction
- Rotary dryer to control moisture
- FZLH series organic fertilizer pellet mill
- Counterflow cooler
- Screening system for fines
- Automatic packaging and palletizing
The fermentation system ensures pathogen reduction and odor control. Pellets are dense, uniform, and suitable for automated application equipment.
Installation and Commissioning
Equipment delivery occurred in November 2025. RICHI engineers completed mechanical assembly and electrical integration by December. Trial production confirmed stable output at 6 T/H, with pellet durability above 92% and moisture content below 12%.
Environmental and Economic Impact
The organic fertilizer production line converts waste into high-quality fertilizer, reducing environmental pollution and providing additional revenue streams for dairy farmers. This project demonstrates RICHI MACHINERY’s expertise in sustainable organic fertilizer solutions.
