Why Our New Type Granulator is a Game-Changer for Wet Compost?

I speak with farm owners and fertilizer producers every single day. I know that the biggest headache in organic fertilizer production is dealing with wet, sticky compost. Materials like fresh chicken manure or municipal sludge are notoriously difficult to handle. They clog machines, slow down production, and create a frustrating mess. Many traditional granulators simply cannot handle this challenge. This is where our New Type Organic Fertilizer Granulator changes everything. We designed this machine specifically to solve this exact problem. It doesn’t fight the moisture; it uses it. It turns your most difficult raw material into a valuable, easy-to-handle pelleted product with incredible efficiency.

What Makes Wet Compost So Difficult to Granulate?

The primary challenge with fresh compost is its high moisture content and sticky, fibrous texture. This combination causes materials to clump together and adhere to the inside of standard granulation equipment, leading to blockages.

I have seen it many times. A producer invests in a granulator, only to find their team spends half the day stopping the machine to clean it out. This is because most standard granulators are not designed for the reality of organic waste. Materials like chicken manure can have a moisture content of 30-40% even after initial fermentation. It is also sticky and contains small fibers.

When you put this kind of material into a machine that relies on simple tumbling, like a basic drum, the wet compost just sticks to the walls. It builds up layer by layer until the entire machine is blocked. Production stops. You lose time and money. The alternative is to spend a huge amount of energy and time pre-drying the compost down to a lower moisture level. This adds an expensive and slow step to your process. We knew there had to be a better way. We needed a machine that could take this “problem material” and granulate it directly.

How Does the New Type Granulator Solve This Problem?

Our New Type Granulator uses a powerful, high-speed internal stirring mechanism. This action creates immense force that both forms the pellets and continuously scrapes the machine’s inner walls, making it physically impossible for material to build up and clog.

Think of it like a super-powered kitchen mixer, but for compost. Inside the machine’s hardened steel cylinder is a rotor that spins at a very high speed. Attached to this rotor are dozens of durable, wear-resistant stirring “teeth” or pins. When your wet compost powder is fed into the granulator, this is what happens:

1. Intense Force: The high-speed rotation creates a powerful vortex. This force causes the wet particles of compost to violently collide with each other.
2. Pellet Formation: These collisions, combined with the material’s own moisture acting as a binder, force the particles to stick together and form small, dense pellets.
3. Self-Cleaning Action: As the rotor spins, the teeth pass just millimeters from the inside wall of the cylinder. They are constantly shearing off any material that tries to stick. This continuous scraping action is the key. It makes the machine self-cleaning.

Because of this unique design, the machine can handle materials with moisture content as high as 40%. The granulation success rate is often over 90% on the first pass. This means you get a high-quality, pelleted product with maximum uptime and minimal effort. It is the core of an efficient and profitable organic fertilizer production line.

Which Materials Are a Perfect Match for This Machine?

This granulator excels with a wide variety of fine organic powders that have high moisture content. It is the number one choice for poultry and livestock manure, municipal sludge, and many types of agricultural processing waste.

If your business deals with any of the following materials, this machine was built for you. We have helped clients across the world turn these challenging wastes into profitable fertilizer products.

The key is that the material should be composted and crushed into a fine powder first. Our compost turners and fertilizer crushers are the perfect first steps before the material enters this granulator.

New Type Granulator vs. Disc Granulator: Which is Right for You?

The choice depends on your raw material and your final product goal. The New Type Granulator is a powerful workhorse for high-moisture, difficult materials. The Disc Granulator is an artist’s tool for creating a perfect, uniform sphere for a premium market.

This is a question I get all the time. Both are excellent machines, but they serve different primary purposes.

The New Type Granulator is your solution for process efficiency. Its main job is to take wet, sticky, fibrous material and turn it into pellets without clogging. The pellets are strong and dense, but may be slightly irregular in shape. It is built for high volume and difficult inputs.

The Disc Granulator, on the other hand, is your solution for product aesthetics. It tumbles powder on an open pan to create beautiful, perfectly round pellets of a consistent size. It gives you more control over the final look of the product. However, it is less tolerant of very high moisture and highly fibrous materials.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Question 1: Do I need to add a binder to the material?
No. For most organic materials, the material’s own moisture content, combined with the mechanical force of the machine, is enough to form strong pellets. This saves you the cost of adding binders.

Question 2: What is the ideal moisture content for this machine?
The machine works best with materials in the 25% to 40% moisture range. This is significantly higher than most other granulators, which often require moisture below 25%. This saves you time and energy on pre-drying.

Question 3: How durable are the stirring teeth inside?
The internal stirring teeth are made from a hardened, wear-resistant alloy steel. They are designed for a long service life even when processing abrasive materials. They are also designed to be easily replaceable during routine maintenance.

Summary and Your Next Steps

The New Type Organic Fertilizer Granulator is more than just a machine; it is a solution to one of the biggest problems in the organic fertilizer industry. It allows you to take wet, sticky, and difficult-to-handle organic waste and efficiently turn it into a valuable pelleted product. Its unique self-cleaning design ensures maximum uptime and high output. It eliminates the need for extensive pre-drying, saving you significant operational costs. The final step is to put your high-quality pellets into bags using an automated fertilizer packaging machine.
