Henan Hongke Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. delivered a Φ2×8m rotary dryer line for chicken manure to a customer in Chengde, Hebei. Here’s the short version.
Who the Customer Is
An agricultural waste processor in Chengde, Hebei. They collect chicken manure from nearby poultry farms and turn it into organic fertilizer feedstock.
What Problem They Had
Raw manure was wet (60–75% moisture), heavy, and decomposed fast
Odor and leachate caused complaints
Sun drying was weather-dependent—output moisture varied
Wet manure stuck to equipment, causing blockages
Ammonia and moisture accelerated corrosion
They needed a purpose-built rotary dryer—not a modified grain dryer.
Why They Chose Us
We know high-moisture organics – sticky, variable, corrosive
We designed the internals for sticky manure – lifting flights + chain/breaker arrangement
We supplied the full line – feed, dryer, heat source, discharge, dust/odor control, controls
We considered corrosion – materials, coatings, inspection points
They inspected our factory before signing
