Pellet Production Line for High Moisture Materials: Solve Granulation Pain Points with Efficient & Stable Solutions

In fertilizer and cat litter production, high moisture materials (such as fermented organic fertilizer raw materials with 60%-80% moisture content, wet soybean residue, and wet bentonite) are common but bring significant challenges to traditional granulation processes.

Low granulation rate, material adhesion to equipment, high energy consumption from repeated drying, product caking, and failure to meet environmental standards have become major pain points restricting enterprise development. A professional and targeted pellet production line for high moisture materials has thus become the key to breaking production bottlenecks and an urgent demand for enterprises pursuing efficient production.

1. High Moisture Material Granulation Pain Points Highlighted, Professional Solutions Urgently Needed

In the fertilizer sector, raw materials for organic and bio-organic fertilizers (e.g., fermented livestock manure, crop straw) typically have high moisture content. Traditional granulation often faces issues like wall adhesion, particle formation rate as low as 50%-60%, and frequent shutdowns for cleaning. Repeated drying also leads to nutrient loss, reducing product quality.

In cat litter production, high-moisture raw materials such as soybean residue and wood fiber, when directly used for granulation, easily cause uneven particles, fragility, and low water absorption. Additionally, treating wastewater and waste gas generated during processing is difficult, posing significant environmental risks.

The market is in urgent need of a pellet production line for high moisture materials that can simultaneously solve dehydration, granulation, environmental protection, and efficiency issues. Targeted solutions launched by professional manufacturers are helping enterprises overcome these challenges. What’s more, a high-quality pellet production line for high moisture materials can also help enterprises improve product consistency and enhance market competitiveness.

2. Core Technical Requirements for High Moisture Material Granulation: Why Ordinary Production Lines Fail to Adapt?

Granulating high moisture materials demands higher technical performance from production lines, which ordinary lines—designed for moderately moist materials—cannot meet due to poor adaptability. Firstly, it is essential to accurately reduce material moisture content from 60%-80% to 20%-35%. Ordinary equipment lacks precise humidity control and may over-dry materials, causing deterioration.

Secondly, high moisture materials have strong viscosity, making them prone to adhering to equipment inner walls and roller surfaces. Ordinary equipment without special anti-adhesion treatment exacerbates clogging and uneven granulation. Thirdly, dehydration of high moisture materials consumes substantial energy, and ordinary lines often suffer from “high energy consumption and low output” due to unoptimized processes, increasing production costs significantly.

Furthermore, ordinary lines lack comprehensive environmental protection equipment, failing to meet increasingly strict global standards. Their poor adaptability also limits them to specific material types, unable to satisfy enterprises’ diversified production needs.

3. Targeted Breakthroughs: Core Technical Highlights of Pellet Production Line for High Moisture Materials

Professional pellet production line for high moisture materials has achieved comprehensive breakthroughs through technological innovation and structural optimization, effectively addressing enterprise pain points.

The customized dehydration module is the core of the line. Equipped with a high-efficiency rotary drum dryer and low-temperature dehumidification device, it adopts a multi-layer heat exchange structure for full heat contact. Patented temperature control technology precisely adjusts drying parameters based on material characteristics, stably reducing moisture content to the ideal 20%-35% range. Compared with traditional equipment, dehydration efficiency is increased by 30% and energy consumption reduced by 25%.

Anti-adhesion molding design is fully upgraded. Core granulation equipment such as disc granulators and double roller granulators use special wear-resistant liners and anti-adhesion coatings. Combined with an intelligent material distribution system, they prevent local agglomeration, raising particle formation rate to over 90% with uniform size.

The closed-loop production process integrates crushing, mixing, dehydration, granulation, cooling, screening, and packaging. Materials are transported via sealed pipelines to avoid secondary moisture absorption, ensuring stable quality. The closed-loop design also reduces environmental pollution from dust and waste gas.

Environmental protection adaptation design meets global standards. Complete waste gas purification and wastewater recycling devices ensure emissions meet European, American, and Southeast Asian standards, while wastewater is recycled to achieve zero discharge, saving water resources and reducing treatment costs.

The intelligent PLC control system real-time monitors key parameters (moisture content, temperature, granulation speed, etc.) and automatically adjusts equipment operation, realizing full-process automation and reducing manual errors. This intelligent design is one of the core advantages that distinguishes the professional pellet production line for high moisture materials from ordinary equipment.

4. Dual-Industry Adaptation: Practical Application Scenarios of Pellet Production Line for High Moisture Materials

The pellet production line for high moisture materials boasts strong adaptability, widely applying to fertilizer and cat litter production.

In fertilizer production, it is particularly suitable for high-moisture raw materials such as fermented organic fertilizer, bio-organic fertilizer, and compound microbial fertilizer. It efficiently dehydrates materials and produces high-strength particles that retain nutrients, with no caking. Low-temperature dehydration preserves beneficial microorganisms in bio-organic fertilizers. Production capacity ranges from 0.5t/h to 50t/h, meeting needs of small, medium, and large enterprises. Whether producing small-batch high-end cat litter or large-scale ordinary cat litter, the pellet production line for high moisture materials can flexibly meet production demands.

In cat litter production, it perfectly adapts to wet soybean residue, wood fiber, and wet bentonite, suitable for eco-friendly cat litters like tofu, mixed, and bentonite cat litter. It produces uniform, highly absorbent, and non-friable particles, meeting market demand for environmental protection. The finished product qualification rate exceeds 95%, supporting market expansion.
