Controlling the moisture content of materials in organic fertilizer equipment is crucial for ensuring production efficiency and product quality. The following control methods are summarized based on the latest information:
1. Raw Material Combination and Pretreatment: The moisture content of different raw materials varies significantly. Proper combination can be used to adjust the overall moisture content. For raw materials with excessive moisture content, natural air drying or mechanical drying can be used. Natural air drying is simple and economical. The materials are spread out in an open area and regularly turned over to allow sunlight and wind to evaporate the moisture.
2. Moisture Testing and Real-Time Monitoring: Use a rapid moisture meter to regularly test the moisture content of the raw materials. Insert the instrument probe into the material and the moisture content is determined within minutes. Based on the test results, the raw material combination or drying time can be flexibly adjusted to ensure that the moisture content of the material remains within the appropriate range.
3. Moisture Control during Fermentation: During the initial fermentation phase of the organic fertilizer production line, the moisture content of the material should be controlled between 50% and 65%. This can be adjusted by adding an appropriate amount of water or drying the material. During the fermentation process, rising temperatures promote moisture evaporation, so regular turning is necessary to maintain aeration and moisture balance. 4. Drying: After fermentation is complete, the moisture content of the material can be further reduced by drying it in the sun. Lay the material flat in a well-ventilated area, turning it regularly to allow the natural wind and sunlight to evaporate the moisture.
This method effectively controls the moisture content of the material within the organic fertilizer equipment, ensuring smooth production and consistent product quality.
