How Can Moisture Control Improve Chicken Manure Pelleting?
Moisture is one of the least visible but most influential factors in organic fertilizer production. When chicken manure enters a processing plant, its water content can vary considerably. The manure may have been recently collected, stored for several days, mixed with bedding, partially composted, or exposed to different environmental conditions. These differences can strongly affect…
How Should You Choose the Right Production Capacity?
Bigger Is Not Always Better in Production Planning When manufacturers compare equipment quotations, capacity is often one of the first numbers they look at. A 1-ton-per-hour line appears attractive until a 3-ton-per-hour system is compared. Then a larger system appears more impressive. But production capacity is only useful when it matches the rest of the…
How Global Feed Trends Shape Plant Investment
Global feed production reached 1.44 billion tons in 2025, a 2.9% increase over the previous year. Alltech’s Agri-Food Outlook, compiled from data covering 38,837 feed mills across 142 countries, shows that almost every region expanded output. Africa recorded the strongest growth at 11.5%, reaching 64.25 million tons. Asia remains the largest producer at 559 million…
How to Control Moisture During Wood Drying
Moisture control is one of the most important factors in wood drying. Whether the raw material is sawdust, wood chips, wood shavings, bark, or other wood residues, the objective of drying is not simply to remove as much water as possible. The real goal is to achieve a stable and uniform moisture level that is…
How Can Cow Manure Be Made Into Fertilizer Pellets?
Cow manure is one of the most common organic residues generated by cattle farming. Instead of treating it only as waste, many farms and agricultural businesses are exploring ways to process it into a more convenient organic fertilizer product. Pelletizing is one possible approach. By processing manure into compact particles, producers can make the material…
How Chicken Manure Is Made into Organic Fertilizer Pellets
Chicken manure is an abundant organic waste material from poultry farms. Instead of being handled only as loose waste, it can be processed into pelletized fertilizer for easier storage, transportation, and agricultural application. The chicken manure pellet machine for organic fertilizer is used in the forming stage, but producing a consistent fertilizer pellet normally requires…
How to Prepare EFB Before Pelletizing
Empty fruit bunches, commonly known as EFB, are one of the major biomass residues generated by palm oil mills. After fresh fruit bunches are processed for palm oil extraction, large quantities of EFB remain. Because EFB contains valuable fibrous biomass, it can be processed into fuel pellets and used as a renewable energy resource. However,…
What Can You Do With Empty Fruit Bunches?
Every palm oil mill produces them by the ton. After the fresh fruit bunches are sterilized and the fruit is stripped away, what remains is a mountain of empty fruit bunches, or EFB. It is fibrous, wet, and bulky. For decades, it was burned in open piles, left to rot in fields, or returned to…
Scaling Miscanthus From Field Residue to Commercial Fuel
Miscanthus has attracted attention as a renewable biomass resource because it produces substantial quantities of fibrous plant material that can be collected and converted into useful products. For businesses located near agricultural production areas, the challenge is not simply finding enough biomass. The bigger question is how to transform a bulky and inconsistent raw material…
Why Is This Farm’s Waste Worth More Than Its Eggs?
Walk into any poultry barn, and you’ll see two things in abundance: chickens and their waste. The birds are your livelihood—meat, eggs, or both. The manure? That’s just a problem you’ve learned to live with. You haul it out, spread it on fields when you can, and pay someone to take it when you can’t….
