Introduction:
Chicken manure, often viewed as waste, holds immense potential as a valuable resource in making biochar fertilizer. By harnessing the power of carbonization, we can transform this abundant waste into a nutrient-rich fertilizer. In this blog, we will explore two common processes and equipment for making carbon fertilizer from chicken manure, catering to both those who need to produce carbon from scratch and those who already have access to carbon material.
Carbonization Process:
For those without access to carbon material, the first step involves the carbonization of organic materials such as coconut shells, straw or chicken dung using a continuous carbonization furnace. This furnace operates on the principle of thermal decomposition, converting organic matter into carbon. With a capacity of about 500kg/h, materials containing less than 10% per ton can yield approximately 280kg-310kg of final carbon products.
Adding Carbon Powder:
Alternatively, if the customer already possesses carbon material, the process becomes simpler. Carbon powder is added to the chicken manure, creating a carbon-based fertilizer. This method skips the carbonization step and directly incorporates carbon into the mixture. That’s why you need an efficient blender. We recommend a double shaft mixer.
Common Processes:
Both approaches follow a series of common steps to convert chicken manure into carbon-based fertilizer:
Composting:
Chicken manure and biochar fertilizer’s making need to undergoes a composting process to break down organic matter and eliminate pathogens. So you need a composter, we recommend our self-propelled tumbler.

Mixing:
Carbon material, whether freshly carbonized or in powder form, is thoroughly mixed with the composted chicken manure. This ensures uniform distribution of nutrients.
Crushing:
The making of chicken dung and biochar fertilizer may undergo crushing to achieve a finer consistency, facilitating subsequent processing. So we recommend the new-type organic fertilizer crusher.
Granulating:
The crushed mixture is formed into granules, enhancing its usability and ease of application in the field. That’s why we recommend disc pelletizer.
Screening:
Carbon-based fertilizer granules from chicken manure are screened to remove any oversized or undersized particles, ensuring product consistency.
Packaging:
The final fertilizer product is packaged into appropriate containers for distribution and use by farmers. Our company has palletizers and packaging machines, both of which save time and increase efficiency.
How to compost quickly:
To compost quickly, focus on optimizing temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Maintain a temperature range of 45°C to 60°C, with humidity controlled at 55% to 60%. Adequate ventilation is crucial for supplying oxygen to microorganisms and promoting decomposition. Turn the compost regularly to aerate it and distribute heat evenly. By ensuring these conditions, you accelerate the composting process, yielding nutrient-rich fertilizer in a shorter time frame. Composting not only efficiently recycles organic waste but also produces a sustainable fertilizer rich in essential nutrients, promoting healthier soil and plants while reducing environmental impact.
