How does a pelletizing plant work?
Manure pelletizing is a straightforward, five-step process: Litter is transported to pelletizer in leak-resistant containers. Raw materials are unloaded in a fully enclosed storage area, where a negative-air system prevents dust and odors from escaping into the environment. The litter is then loaded into a dryer that reaches a temperature of 225°F degrees and pasteurizes the litter to eradiate bacteria and weed seeds. From the dryer, a hammer mill refines the litter to a sand texture and pushes the granules into a pellet mill. The pellets are then cooled, tested for quality and stored until distribution.
