FAQ:What are the requirements for the facility and site of an organic fertilizer production line?

Answer: Organic fertilizer production lines do not require high-standard industrial facilities; production can commence in standard steel-structure or brick-concrete buildings, or even in structures erected on leveled and paved open ground. The overall site requirements are flexible and the barrier to entry is low, making it suitable for livestock farming and agricultural supply enterprises of all sizes. Key site requirements focus on five aspects: total footprint, facility height, flooring/foundation, ventilation and drainage, and supporting infrastructure.

The site area must match the production capacity: a small-scale line (10,000–30,000 tons/year) requires 800–1,500 square meters; a medium-scale line (30,000–50,000 tons/year) requires 2,000–3,000 square meters; and a large-scale line requires over 3,000 square meters. Space must be allocated for four distinct zones—raw material storage, fermentation, processing, and finished product storage—to prevent disorganized material stockpiling from disrupting production.
The clear height of the facility should ideally be at least 4.5 meters to accommodate the installation and maintenance of equipment such as compost turners, granulators, and dryers; for large-scale lines with drying systems, a height of 5–6 meters is recommended to ensure unobstructed equipment hoisting and material conveyance. The ground must be paved with concrete (at least 10 cm thick) to prevent material seepage and equipment subsidence, while also facilitating daily cleaning, disinfection, and site organization.
The site must ensure adequate ventilation and drainage. Since organic fertilizer fermentation generates slight odors, good ventilation improves the workshop working environment. Drainage slopes and channels must be incorporated to prevent water accumulation during rain and to keep raw materials from getting damp or moldy. Additionally, the site requires a 380V industrial power supply and a standard tap water connection, along with accessible roadways to facilitate the delivery of raw materials and the shipment of finished organic fertilizer. No specialized environmental impact assessment infrastructure is required; production can begin normally after meeting standard compliance and rectification requirements.
