Cow dung dewatering machine vs. dryer: How to choose?

 

Introduction

Livestock farms generate a large amount of pollutants every day, including cow dung, urine, and other contaminants, with a moisture content ranging from 85% to 90%. These pollutants contain a substantial amount of undigested organic matter and insect eggs, and may even harbor odor-producing microorganisms and pathogenic bacteria. If these pollutants are not properly treated and utilized, they can spread to surrounding land, rivers, and the atmosphere, exacerbating the hazards to humans and livestock. Cow dung is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other essential elements for crop production. After treatment, it can be processed into organic fertilizer. The primary task in cow dung treatment is to reduce its moisture content. Currently, there are two types of equipment used to lower the moisture content of cow dung: cow dung dewatering machine and cow dung dryer. Their functions are similar, making it easy for users to get confused when choosing. I will introduce several aspects to help users quickly determine whether to choose a dewatering machine or a dryer.

What is cow dung dewatering machine?

Cow dung dewatering machine primarily achieves dehydration through a screw extrusion process. After the raw material enters the equipment through the feed inlet, it is continuously compressed under the continuous push of the spiral shaft, and the liquid is discharged through the gaps in the front screen. As the spiral shaft gradually becomes thinner and the pitch continuously decreases, the squeezing force on the material continuously increases. The water in the cow dung is discharged through a filter under pressure, achieving solid-liquid separation. Finally, the wet cow dung with a water content of 60-70% is discharged from the outlet. The odor of dehydrated cow dung is reduced, but it cannot be stored for long periods. Cow dung dewatering machine is suitable for small or medium-sized farms.

What is cow dung dryer?

Cow dung dryers remove moisture by exchanging hot air with wet cow dung and evaporating the water. The most common cow dung dryer is the rotary dryer, in the drum, wet cow dung exchanges heat with hot air and is continuously tumbled by lifting plates to improve drying efficiency. The exhaust gas after drying needs to be filtered through a dust removal system to remove harmful gases and odors. The dried cow dung with 10-20% moisture can be stored for a long time or used directly in the production of organic fertilizer granules. Cow dung dryers are suitable for large-scale livestock farms and organic fertilizer production enterprises.

Differences between cow dung dewatering machine and cow dung dryer

1. Final moisture requirements

The cow dung dewatering machine can only reduce the moisture content to 60-70%. If complete drying is required, a cow dung dryer is needed, which can reduce the moisture content to 10-20%.

2. Energy consumption

The cow dung dewatering machine has low energy consumption and cost, while the cow dung dryer requires a heating source and fuel, resulting in high energy consumption and cost.

3. Applicable scale

The cow dung dewatering machine is suitable for small and medium-sized farms, while the cow dung dryer is suitable for medium to large-sized farms or fertilizer production enterprises.

4. Discharge purpose

After dehydration, cow dung can be used for composting, worm feeding, simple fertilization, and biogas fermentation. After drying, cow dung can be used to produce finished organic fertilizer and fuel, meeting the requirements for long-distance transportation.

How to choose?

1. Based on processing capacity

If the daily processing capacity is less than 10 tons, a cow dung dewatering machine can be chosen. If the daily processing capacity ranges from tens to hundreds of tons, a cow dung dryer is recommended.

2. Consider the purpose

If the purpose is merely composting or fermentation, a cow manure dewatering machine can be chosen. If the finished product is intended to be used as granular organic fertilizer, or if there is a need for long-term storage or long-distance transportation, a cow dung dryer should be selected.

3. Check the budget

If the budget is limited, choose a cow dung dewatering machine. If the budget is sufficient, choose a cow dung dryer.

Conclusion

The cow dung dewatering machine is a pretreatment equipment for cow dung, while the cow dung dryer is a deep drying equipment for cow dung. When selecting cow dung processing equipment, it is necessary to comprehensively analyze factors such as processing capacity, usage, and budget to choose the suitable equipment.

Application of cow dung dryer

图片
      Cow dung rotary dryer   is an important agricultural machinery and equipment, mainly used to dry cow dung in order to convert it into organic fertilizer or biomass energy. This equipment has many advantages, such as high efficiency, low energy consumption, good drying quality, etc., so it has been widely used in modern agriculture.   The function of cow dung rotary dryer:   1. Drying cow dung   The most basic function of the cow dung rotary dryer is to dry cow dung. Through this equipment, fresh cow dung can be quickly dried to reduce its moisture content to less than 15%, making it easier to store and transport. At the same time, the dried cow dung has a soft texture and is easy to crush and mix, making it convenient for subsequent processing and use.   2. Convert to organic fertilizer   The dried cow dung can be further processed into organic fertilizer. By adding appropriate amounts of nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassiu...

Working principle of chicken manure drying machine

图片
    The farm produces a large amount of chicken manure every day. If it is not handled in time, it will cause bacterial infection and pollute the environment. In addition, chicken manure contains certain nutrients, so chicken manure needs to be processed. After being processed by   chicken manure drying machine , it can be made into feed or organic fertilizer.   The chicken manure drying machine dries the chicken manure by evaporating water at high temperature. After high-temperature drying, the harmful substances in the chicken manure are killed. It can not only be sold as farmyard manure, but also be a high-quality raw material for making organic fertilizer. Chicken manure drying machine is very applicable and can dry different chicken manure materials according to their water content. Chicken manure drying machine has a variety of heat sources to choose from, mainly through heat transfer to dry the material. Its heat source can use natural gas, coal, steam, b...
