Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fertilizer production equipment, in particular to an improved composting, fermentation and drying device for stable treatment of biological waste. BACKGROUND

[0002] Animal manure and plant straw are good organic fertilizers after fermentation, which are commonly used for planting crops and flowers. Some livestock manure can be processed into fish feed after fermentation, which is not only green and environmentally friendly, but also realizes waste utilization. With the adjustment of agricultural industrial structure and the change of residents' dietary structure, the breeding industry in various parts of China is developing rapidly, which has generated a large amount of animal manure. The current animal manure treatment technology mainly includes drying method, chemical method and other methods. However, these methods have the problems of not being able to completely kill some stubborn harmful bacteria, pests and weed seeds, easy to cause secondary pollution, large energy consumption, emission of a large amount of odor during treatment, long treatment time, serious loss of fertilizer and other problems.

[0003] In the production process of biological fertilizer, fermentation and drying processes are needed. The existing production device usually separates fermentation and drying for processing. Fermentation needs to use a thermostat or a fermentation tank. During the fermentation process, a certain temperature and humidity need to be maintained. The material is static during fermentation, and the material is a poor conductor of heat, so the heating is uneven, the heat transfer effect is very poor, and the heat energy is lost. Water needs to be added to the fermented material to maintain humidity. If the material is fixed, the humidity is uneven, which directly leads to poor fermentation effect and poor quality of the finished fertilizer. In addition, from fermentation to drying, conveying equipment needs to be set up. Each device needs to be cleaned or washed after each link is completed, which increases the workload or the possibility of bacterial contamination. The processing efficiency is too low by setting up two devices for two processes, which not only increases investment and improves product cost, but also prolongs the processing cycle and makes the product not dry enough after processing. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a biological fertilizer fermentation and drying all-in-one machine to solve the above-mentioned problems. SUMMARY

[0013] The treatment method of the application is specifically:

[0014] 1. Raw material preparation: collect livestock and poultry manure, sewage sludge, kitchen waste, food factory offal and other high-moisture and high-viscosity biological waste;

[0015] 2. Mixing of auxiliary materials: add sawdust, straw, rice husk, dried organic waste and other auxiliary materials to adjust the moisture content;

[0016] 3. Moisture and bacteria adjustment: adjust the water content to about 50%, and add microbial fermentation bacteria in proportion;

[0017] 4. Feeding: feed the material into the feeding hopper;

[0018] 5. Bacteria spraying and heat supply: bacteria spraying and hot air heating are carried out simultaneously during feeding;

[0019] 6. Cylinder rotation: the cylinder rotates at a constant speed, and the material is granulated into balls in the front half of the cylinder, and is lifted and dropped from the drying area in the rear half;

[0020] 7. Air induction and fermentation: complete the processes of temperature rise, fermentation and dehydration under negative pressure airflow;

[0022] 9. Fermentation completion: the temperature rises to 70℃ within about 20 days and then naturally cools down, and the moisture content decreases to 30%.

[0023] Specifically, sewage sludge, livestock and poultry manure, food factory offal and organic waste are used as base materials, and the initial moisture content of such materials is usually as high as about 80%, which is not suitable for direct fermentation treatment. In order to adjust the moisture content of the material, a suitable amount of auxiliary materials, including but not limited to sawdust, straw powder, dried organic waste, rice husk, wheat bran and the like, are added to the base material, and then mixed. Then, 1 kg of microbial fermentation bacteria is inoculated per 10 tons of mixed material.
