Whether you’re running a large-scale organic fertilizer plant or a smaller composting facility, a semi-wet crusher helps ensure that your end product is fine, uniform, and suitable for fertilizer production.

LANE offers advanced semi-wet crushers that are engineered for high efficiency, low maintenance, and long service life — making them a top choice for organic fertilizer producers worldwide.

What is a Semi-Wet Crusher for Organic Fertilizer Production?

A semi-wet crusher is a crushing machine designed to handle materials with high water content (up to 40–60%). Unlike traditional crushers that clog easily when dealing with wet materials, the semi-wet crusher uses high-speed rotating blades to break down organic waste into smaller particles without blocking.

Common materials processed include:

  • Poultry manure (chicken, duck)

  • Livestock manure (cow, pig, goat)

  • Crop residues (straw, corn stalks)

  • Organic compost and kitchen waste

  • Humic acid and peat soil

Working Principle of a Semi-Wet Crusher

The semi-wet crusher operates using high-speed rotating blades mounted on a shaft. When wet or semi-wet materials enter the crushing chamber:

  1. The rotating blades cut and tear the material into smaller pieces.

  2. The moisture is dispersed evenly, preventing clumping.

  3. The output particles are uniform and ready for granulation or fermentation.

LANE’s design uses double-layered stainless steel blades that resist wear and corrosion, ensuring long service life even in continuous operation.

Advantages of Using a Semi-Wet Crusher in Organic Fertilizer Production

1. Handles High-Moisture Materials

  • Can process materials with 40–60% water content without clogging.

  • Eliminates the need for pre-drying, saving time and energy.

2. Uniform Particle Size

  • Produces fine powder ideal for granulation.

  • Improves the quality and consistency of the final fertilizer product.

3. Low Maintenance Design

  • Fewer moving parts reduce downtime.

  • Easy blade replacement and cleaning.

4. Wide Range of Applications

  • Suitable for poultry manure, livestock manure, compost, sludge, crop residues, and more.

  • Can be used in both organic and compound fertilizer production lines.

LANE’s Semi-Wet Crusher – Product Highlights

  • High-Efficiency Motor – Delivers stable, continuous crushing performance.

  • Wear-Resistant Blades – Made from special alloy for extended life.

  • Corrosion-Resistant Body – Stainless steel construction for hygiene and durability.

  • Customizable Output Size – Adjustable clearance to control particle size.

  • Safety Features – Overload protection and enclosed crushing chamber to ensure operator safety.

Applications in Organic Fertilizer Production

1. Pre-Treatment Before Composting

Crushing raw organic waste speeds up decomposition by increasing the surface area for microbial activity.

2. Preparation for Granulation

Uniform fine powder improves granulation efficiency and ensures stronger, more durable pellets.

3. Processing Returned Granules

Crushes oversized or defective granules for recycling into the production process.

Case Study – Southeast Asia Poultry Manure Fertilizer Plant

A poultry farm cooperative in Vietnam installed a LANE semi-wet crusher to process chicken manure for organic fertilizer production. Before installation, the farm faced:

  • Frequent equipment blockages

  • Inconsistent particle size

  • Low granulation rate

Results after 3 months with LANE’s crusher:

  • Processing capacity increased by 40%

  • Granulation success rate improved from 75% to 95%

  • Maintenance downtime reduced by 50%

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can the semi-wet crusher process fresh poultry manure?
Yes. It is designed to handle fresh manure without clogging.

Q2: Do I need to dry materials before crushing?
No. The semi-wet crusher eliminates the need for pre-drying, saving both energy and cost.

Q3: How often do the blades need replacement?
Typically every 6–12 months, depending on material type and usage frequency.

Q4: Is it suitable for large-scale production?
Absolutely. LANE offers models with processing capacities up to 20 t/h for industrial-scale operations.

A semi-wet crusher for organic fertilizer production is a must-have for any modern fertilizer plant looking to improve efficiency, reduce maintenance, and achieve high-quality, uniform products. With its ability to handle high-moisture organic waste, it eliminates bottlenecks in production and ensures smooth downstream processing. LANE’s semi-wet crushers combine durability, efficiency, and automation to meet the demands of both small-scale farmers and large fertilizer manufacturers. By investing in this technology, you’re not only improving production but also contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable agricultural future.

Sludge-based Organic Fertilizer Plant Setup: A Smart Move for Our Planet and Farms

图片
Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot about sludge management, and it got me thinking—what if we could turn that “waste” into something useful? That’s where sludge-based organic fertilizer plant setup comes in. It’s not just a fancy term; it’s a practical way to solve two big problems at once: getting rid of sludge and giving farmers better fertilizer. ​ How Sludge-based Organic Fertilizer Plant Setup Works in Real Life ​ Let me break it down simply. A friend of mine visited a small sludge-based organic fertilizer plant setup last month, and he couldn’t stop talking about it. The process starts with collecting sludge from local sewage plants. Then, they mix it with things like crop straw or wood chips to help it ferment. After a few weeks of controlled heating and stirring, the smelly sludge turns into a dark, crumbly material that smells like fresh soil. Finally, it gets dried and shaped into pellets—ready to go to farms. ​ What’s cool is that this sludge-based organic fertilizer plant set...

Flat Die Granulator: An Efficient Solution for Biomass Granule Production

图片
A   flat die granulator   is a compact and versatile machine designed to transform powdered or granular raw materials (such as wood, biomass, feed, or fertilizer) into dense, uniform granules. Unlike ring die granulators, which are typically used for large-scale production, flat die models are ideal for small to medium-scale operations, offering simplicity, ease of maintenance, and cost-effectiveness. How Does It Work? The machine operates by pressing raw material through a  flat die  (a circular metal plate with holes) using rotating  rollers . The combination of pressure and friction generates heat, softening lignin in biomass or activating binders in feed mixtures, which helps the particles stick together. The extruded material is cut into granules of consistent length by an adjustable blade. Key Components: Flat Die : The heart of the machine, determining granule size (usually 2–12 mm in diameter). Rollers : Apply pressure to force material through the die. ...
