Organic Fertilizer Machine
RICHI provides organic fertilizer machine that process various organic wastes into high-quality fertilizers. We offer single machines and complete turnkey solutions. Our goal: help you turn organic waste into valuable resources.
Introduction to Organic Fertilizer Machine
Organic wastes from different sources vary greatly in fiber, moisture, and stickiness. No single pelletizing process works well for all of them. So we designed our equipment around material characteristics. From feeder type and die size to pre-treatment steps, we adjust each part to match your actual needs.
Organic Fertilizer from Livestock Manure
Running a large-scale farm? Wet and sticky manure is a common challenge. To tackle this, we recommend combining effective dewatering and fermentation pre-treatment with our specially engineered pelletizer.
Featuring a forced screw feeder, adjustable die holes (4–12 mm), and corrosion-resistant alloy liners, our fertilizer making machine is built to resist ammonia corrosion and ensure smooth material flow. This design guarantees a pelletizing rate above 98%, eliminating clogging issues for a seamless production experience.
Organic Fertilizer from Crop Straw
Crop straw presents a different challenge: long fibers and high toughness. To cut downtime, our organic fertilizer machine uses a Siemens variable-frequency motor and a gear transmission box. Both rollers and ring die use high-wear alloy steel, which lasts twice as long as standard dies.But good equipment needs good preparation. Use a rubbing machine to cut straw to 3–5 cm and break the wax layer. That creates the best conditions for pelletizing and keeps production stable.
Organic Fertilizer from Industrial Byproducts
Common industrial wastes—distiller’s grains, vinegar residue, medicinal herb residue, mushroom compost, soybean meal—are complex, sticky, and often nutritionally imbalanced.
For breweries, sugar mills, or pharmaceutical plants, we equip the organic fertilizer making machine with stainless steel anti-stick dies and variable-frequency feeding. It adapts to changes in material flow, solving die sticking and nutrient inconsistency. Solid waste treatment becomes more flexible and reliable.
Organic Fertilizer from Municipal Waste
Kitchen waste and municipal sludge require high environmental standards. Our organic fertilizer machine includes a strong magnet at the inlet to protect the die. Key parts use corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and the fully enclosed housing reduces odor escape.
We also set up a three-stage impurity removal system at the front end: drum screen, air separator, and magnetic separator. It significantly reduces plastics, metals, and other non-organic impurities, protecting downstream equipment from damage. At the back end, a bio-filter ensures exhaust meets emission standards. You stay compliant and worry-free when processing municipal waste.

Customizable Organic Fertilizer Machine
Chicken Manure Pellet Machine
Chicken manure is sticky and easily blocks die holes. So we provide anti-stick dies and reduce roller clearance. The pelletizing rate reaches over 90%. Works well for both layer and broiler farms.
Pig Manure Pellet Machine
Before granulating fresh pig manure, the moisture content needs to be reduced to an appropriate level. We increase the die open area so material extrudes quickly without sticking. You won’t worry about wet material failing to form pellets.
Cattle Manure Pellet Machine
Cattle manure requires thorough fermentation and drying before pelletizing. We optimize the ring die compression ratio (above 1:5.5) to handle its unique fiber structure, ensuring pellets meet hardness standards without excessive energy consumption.
Sheep Manure Pellet Machine
Add an optional iron and sand removal device at the inlet to separate impurities. Large-scale sheep farms can pelletize directly without pre-treatment. Finished organic fertilizer pellets come in diameters of 4–12 mm.
Horse Manure Pellet Machine
Horse manure is loose and dry. Direct pressing won’t produce firm pellets. So increase the moisture content before processing. With this pelletizer, you get dense 4–12 mm pellets.
Rabbit Manure Pellet Machine
Rabbit manure is naturally uniform and high in protein—ideal for pelletizing. We provide small-diameter dies. No heavy grinding needed, which lowers energy use. Pellets come out smooth.

Straw Pellet Machine
Straw is loose, fibrous, and prone to tangling. Our fertilizer production machine includes variable-frequency feeding and forced feeding. The ring die also gets wear-resistant treatment.
Worm Castings Pellet Machine
Choose small-diameter dies and increase roller clearance for gentle extrusion. This protects beneficial bacteria in worm castings and saves energy. Suitable for worm farming bases and high-end commercial organic fertilizer.
Distillers Grains Pellet Machine
Distillers grains are acidic and contain alcohol. So we use stainless steel corrosion-resistant materials for key parts. Variable-frequency feeding precisely controls material flow. Brewery residue treatment runs stable and worry-free.
Sugarcane Waste Pellet Machine
Sugarcane bagasse contains sugar that melts and sticks when heated. We add anti-stick coating to the die to prevent bonding. You won’t need frequent stops to clean the die.
Municipal Sludge Pellet Machine
Add an optional sand and iron removal device at the inlet. The whole machine is fully enclosed and connected to a deodorizing system. Suitable for sludge reduction projects at wastewater treatment plants. No secondary pollution, full environmental compliance.
Kitchen Waste Pellet Machine
Our organic fertilizer machine uses anti-corrosion wear-resistant materials. The entire machine is sealed with negative-pressure deodorization. Municipal kitchen waste treatment centers get good output quality and a clean, odor-free workshop.

Core Advantages of RICHI Organic Fertilizer Machine
Wide Raw Material Adaptability
Your raw material sources may be mixed. This machine handles them all. Whether common animal manure or various types of organic waste—if it contains organic matter, the machine processes it. You won’t face material restrictions. Turn different wastes into valuable fertilizer.
Significant Energy Saving
Controlling costs matters in organic fertilizer production. So we equip the organic fertilizer machine with gear transmission and a Siemens variable-frequency motor. This system runs smoothly and reduces power consumption. Real technology that lowers your operating costs.
High Pelletizing Rate and Uniformity
Good-looking fertilizer sells better. This organic fertilizer equipment lets you adjust the compression ratio flexibly. The pelletizing rate easily exceeds 95%. Pellets have a smooth surface and moderate hardness. They look good and perform well, giving you a competitive edge.
Intelligent Electric Control System
We make management easier with automated control and variable-frequency speed regulation. It precisely controls batching and temperature, reducing manual intervention. You don’t need many operators watching the machine for making organic fertilizer. That lowers labor costs and keeps production stable.
Durable and Anti-Corrosion Materials
Organic fertilizer materials can corrode equipment. We’ve accounted for this. Core rollers and ring dies use corrosion-resistant alloy steel with a longer service life. All contact parts—feed augers, conditioners—use stainless steel. They resist corrosion and rust, and they’re easy to clean.
Complete After-Sale Support
We provide a 12-month warranty on the organic fertilizer machine. Even after that, we offer lifetime technical support. Repairs only charge for parts. We have parts warehouses on six continents. If you need replacements, you get them fast. Production won’t be delayed.
Organic Fertilizer Production Process
Raw Material Pre-Treatment
Different materials need different handling. Cut long straw into short pieces. Dewater wet manure to reduce moisture. Remove stones, metals, and plastics—these damage downstream equipment. Good preparation prevents problems later.
Fermentation and Composting
Ferment materials in open areas or fermentation trenches. Time varies based on actual conditions. After fermentation, crush any agglomerated material with a crusher. This makes the material uniform and loose, ready for the next step.
Batching and Mixing
Weigh each raw material according to the formula. Add nutrients or minerals as needed, then mix thoroughly in a mixer. Here’s a practical note: if you only plan to make powdered organic fertilizer, you can stop here and package directly—no need for pelletizing.
Pelletizing
Feed the mixed powder into the organic fertilizer machine. The ring die and rollers press the powder into cylindrical sticks. A cutter then cuts them into uniform lengths. This is the core step for pellet fertilizer. We help you adjust parameters to ensure dense, uniform pellets that don’t crumble.
Drying and Cooling
Fresh pellets come out at about 80°C with high moisture. First, run them through a rotary dryer to reduce moisture to 10%–15%. Then pass them through a counter-flow cooler to bring them to room temperature. However, if you already controlled moisture well during fermentation, you can skip this step and save energy.
Screening and Packaging
Pass cooled pellets through a vibrating screen. Qualified pellets go to an automatic packaging scale for weighing and bagging. Unqualified pellets return for re-pelletizing. At this point, the complete organic fertilizer pellet line is done. Finished products are ready for sale or personal use.
Auxiliary Equipment for Organic Fertilizer Production
The organic fertilizer machine is the core of granulation, but the auxiliary equipment is responsible for raw material pre-processing and finished product post-processing. The combination of the two can make the quality of fertilizer more stable.
Compost Turner
During fermentation, turn the material regularly. This adds oxygen, evens out moisture, and regulates temperature—speeding up decomposition.
Drum Cleaning Screen
Removes stones, metals, plastics, twine, and other impurities from organic waste. Protects downstream equipment.
Crusher
Reduces organic materials to the right fineness for pelletizing.
Double-Shaft Paddle Mixer
Mixes raw materials evenly according to the formula. Paddles also break up agglomerated material.
Rotary Dryer
Evaporates excess moisture from fresh, hot pellets. Improves pellet hardness and storage stability.
Counter-Flow Cooler
Quickly lowers finished pellet temperature. Prevents pellets from absorbing moisture and molding due to residual heat. Also removes surface moisture.
Screening Machine
Separates qualified organic fertilizer pellets. Oversized and undersized materials go back for reprocessing.
Packaging Machine
Weighs and bags finished organic fertilizer pellets according to set weight.
Conveying Machine
Transfers raw materials and connects each process step. Configurable in different lengths to fit your plant layout.
Real Shot of Organic Fertilizer Production Video
Here we show real videos of us testing machines for customers in past projects. These real customer case videos can help you quickly evaluate the performance of RICHI organic fertilizer machine, giving you confidence in your purchase.
Thailand Organic Fertilizer Processing Factory
The video records the first test run of this organic fertilizer line. The raw material is a black-gray powder. You can’t tell what kind of feces it is, but after fermentation and dehydration, it no longer smells. The camera shows a close-up of the raw materials. The powder is fine and even, and the granules coming out of the organic fertilizer machine are firm and full.
This line was made for a farm in Thailand. It mixes chicken manure and rice husks, ferments them and pellets them. The particle forming rate was good during the test run, and there were very few broken particles after screening.
Indonesia Organic Fertilizer Production Line
The video starts with a close-up of the ingredients. Black crumb-like material, with a little moisture when drying – this kind of humidity is most suitable for granulation. If it is too dry, it will not be pressed into shape, and if it is too wet, it will easily block the ring mold. The raw materials have been fermented and crushed, and there is basically no smell.
This production line was custom-designed for a fertilizer company in Indonesia. When the camera is zoomed in, you can see that the surface of the finished particles is smooth and there are few cracks. The customer is very satisfied with the molding effect.
Vietnam Chicken Manure Organic Fertilizer Processing Factory
This production line was designed and installed by Ruiqi for an agricultural cooperative in Thailand. The raw materials are chicken manure and rice husk mixed at a ratio of 50% each. After fermentation and crushing, they enter the organic fertilizer production machine.
When the camera is zoomed in, you can see that the finished particles are black, have a shiny surface, and have a good gloss. This appearance usually means that the raw materials are fully fermented, the moisture is properly controlled, and the particles have high density and are not easily broken.

Listen to The True Voice
See what customers around the world say about working with RICHI Machinery. From custom equipment to on-site installation, we help them turn waste into valuable organic fertilizer.
Horse manure used to be a nightmare on our farm. It took up space, smelled bad, and neighbors kept complaining. Last year we decided to process it into pellet organic fertilizer for sale. After comparing three Chinese suppliers, we chose RICHI. Only their engineers carefully studied the fiber characteristics of the manure and bedding, and adjusted the die compression ratio specifically for it. Now the organic fertilizer machine runs smoothly every day. No clogging issues at all. Good—not only did we avoid fines, we also created a nice new revenue stream.
Oliver Bennett
Racecourse and Equestrian Club Manager, Australia
As a municipal sludge and kitchen waste treatment project for the local government, we had strict requirements for equipment stability and environmental compliance. RICHI custom-built this organic fertilizer pellet line for us. It showed industrial-grade performance, and the sealed deodorizing design fully met our expectations.
Jean-Pierre Dubois
Environmental Project Operations Director, France
We were looking for drying and pelletizing equipment that could handle large volumes of chicken manure efficiently. RICHI’s FZLH350 machine is tough and durable. It’s also easy to operate—our workers picked it up quickly. From shipping to installation, RICHI’s remote technical support was excellent. Our organic fertilizer plant is now profitable. No regrets choosing them
Kwame Mensahi
Poultry Farm and Fertilizer Plant Owner, Ghana
We planned to use local sugarcane bagasse and cow manure for large-scale compound organic fertilizer production to support our local agricultural network. Sugarcane bagasse has coarse fibers and high moisture, which damages many ordinary organic fertilizer manufacturing machines. But RICHI’s heavy-duty pelletizing technology gave us confidence. They suggested optimizing our fermentation and grinding steps. This fertilizer improves local soil significantly. We’re already planning to expand capacity.

Buyer’s Guide & Support Center
We have compiled this concise guide to address common questions that customers have about equipment use and after-sales.
My raw materials are chicken manure and cow manure with high moisture. Can they go directly into your pelletizer?
→
No, not directly. Fresh manure typically has 60%–80% moisture. But the ideal moisture for pelletizing is 13%–18%.
So a complete organic fertilizer line must include pre-treatment: first reduce moisture through fermentation and turning, then pass through a dryer before pelletizing. We’ll design the most energy-efficient solution based on your material’s actual initial moisture.
Animal manure contains a lot of fiber—like bedding in horse manure or roughage in cow manure. Will the machine clog or wear out often?
→
Coarse fiber is indeed a challenge for many ordinary pelletizers. But RICHI has specific anti-clogging and wear-resistant designs for high-fiber materials.
We customize the ring die compression ratio and hole size based on your material. The pelletizer also includes a forced feeder to ensure uniform feeding of fibrous materials. For corrosive animal manure, our core parts use high-wear alloy steel and stainless steel—lasting more than twice as long as standard carbon steel.
Which is better for organic fertilizer machine: ring die or flat die pelletizer?
→
That depends on your production scale and business goals.
Flat die pelletizer: suitable for small farms under 1 t/h. Lower cost, but lower output and lower pellet density.
Ring die pelletizer: suitable for commercial plants at 1–10+ t/h. Advantages include high output, high automation, and a pelletizing rate above 95%. Pellets have high density and withstand long-distance transport—ideal for commercial fertilizer sales. RICHI’s FZLH series ring die pelletizers are built specifically for this commercial-grade need.
Our local environmental regulations are strict on odor and dust. How does your equipment address this?
→
Many customers in Europe, the Americas, and Southeast Asia ask this. RICHI provides fully enclosed production lines.
During fermentation and drying, we install efficient deodorizing systems. During grinding and pelletizing, the entire system connects to pulse dust collectors. Your plant will have minimal dust leakage and odor emissions that meet local standards.
I’ve never operated an organic fertilizer plant before. How can RICHI help?
→
We offer a turnkey solution. You don’t need to be a technical expert—we handle the rest.
After signing, we provide free plant layout design and process flow diagrams. Our experienced after-sales engineers have completed installations in over 140 countries, including Germany, the US, and South Africa. After equipment arrives, our engineers come to your site (or guide you remotely via HD video) to install, commission, and train your workers until they can operate and maintain the line independently.
What plant area and budget do I need for an organic fertilizer pellet line?
→
Plant area and budget depend entirely on your output and raw material condition.
For example, a 1–2 t/h basic line (including drying, pelletizing, cooling, and packaging) needs about 500–800 m² of space (approx. 5,300–8,600 sq. ft.). The total organic fertilizer machine price typically ranges from tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand USD, depending on the configuration.
