Forklift Feeder

The organic fertilizer shovel feeder is the core feeding equipment in the scenarios of large-scale production of organic fertilizer, centralized treatment of livestock and poultry manure, and some biomass raw material processing. Its core function is to achieve efficient reception, temporary buffering and uniform quantitative transportation of raw materials, solve the problems of low efficiency of manual feeding and unstable raw material transportation, and provide continuous and stable raw material supply for subsequent fermentation, crushing, granulation and other processes.


  • Three motors:Mixer motor: 2.2 kW;Conveyor motor: 4 kW (variable frequency, adjustable speed);Vibration motor: 0.55 kW

  • Belt: Also known as a herringbone endless belt conveyor

  • Process flow: Forklift - Forklift feeder - Mixer/crusher

  • Application scenario: After a forklift loads material into a silo, the material is evenly discharged via a belt conveyor.

About of Forklift Feeder

The organic fertilizer shovel feeder is the core feeding equipment in the scenarios of large-scale production of organic fertilizer, centralized treatment of livestock and poultry manure, and some biomass raw material processing. Its core function is to achieve efficient reception, temporary buffering and uniform quantitative transportation of raw materials, solve the problems of low efficiency of manual feeding and unstable raw material transportation, and provide continuous and stable raw material supply for subsequent fermentation, crushing, granulation and other processes.

Loader Type Feeder structure:

Silo Body: Typically a steel structure, it features a top inlet for receiving raw materials dumped by a forklift, and a bottom outlet. The silo's capacity is designed based on production needs and can store several tons of raw materials at a time.

Conveyor: A belt conveyor located at the bottom of the silo is suitable for large-volume, low-viscosity materials.

Arch Breaker (Optional): For materials prone to clumping or accumulating, such as livestock and poultry manure, the feeder may be equipped with an arch-breaking device, such as a vibrating motor or pneumatic arch breaker, to help the material fall smoothly and avoid blockage.

Control System: Feeding speed and start/stop control are controlled by sensors or a PLC. Level sensors can be used to monitor inventory and trigger forklift refills or conveyor speed adjustments.


Application Areas

It is mainly used in organic fertilizer production lines and is used in conjunction with equipment such as compost turners, fermentation tanks, and grinders to achieve continuous production. It is also suitable for processing highly wet and sticky materials such as livestock and poultry manure, which require a specially designed anti-sticking conveying mechanism.


How is works

Working principle of Loader Type Feeder:

Feeding: A forklift dumps the organic raw materials into the silo from the top. The silo design must prevent splashing or spillage.

Temporary Storage and Homogenization: The raw materials are temporarily stored in the silo. Some equipment is equipped with a stirring device to prevent stratification or clumping.

Quantitative Feeding: The bottom conveyor is activated, and the variable frequency motor adjusts the conveying speed to control the discharge volume and match the processing capacity of the subsequent equipment. If the material is viscous, a de-arching device can help the material fall smoothly to avoid blockage.

Transport to the Next Process: The conveyor transports the material evenly and continuously to the next processing stage, such as the fermentation equipment or crusher.

Product Advantage

Advantages of Loader Type Feeder:


1. High Efficiency:

Direct forklift loading allows for a complete filling cycle in minutes. One unit can easily process dozens of tons of raw materials per day, significantly reducing manual labor.

2. Stable Conveying:

The variable frequency conveying system adjusts the unloading speed, ensuring continuous operation of subsequent equipment without clogging.

3. Strong Compatibility:

It can be integrated with a variety of production lines, including organic fertilizer production, feed processing, and composting.

4. Anti-clogging Design:

The silo bottom angle is typically greater than 60°, and the inner wall may be lined with a polymer material to reduce adhesion. Some units also feature a buffer net structure and a uniform feeder to reduce the risk of blockage.

5. Environmental Considerations:

The enclosed structure reduces odor emissions, and some units are equipped with dust removal ports to meet environmental requirements.

FAQ

Forklift Feeder

What forms of organic fertilizer raw materials are suitable for the organic fertilizer forklift feeder?

It can handle lump, granular, powdered, and semi-wet organic fertilizer raw materials (such as composted straw, livestock and poultry manure, and mushroom residue). However, please note: the moisture content of the raw materials is recommended to be controlled between 20% and 40% (ideally, the raw materials should be able to form a ball without breaking apart). If the raw materials contain a large amount of hard impurities (such as stones or metal blocks), they must be screened in advance to avoid damage to the equipment's core components.

 

What are its core advantages over manual feeding or conventional conveyor belts?

Compared to traditional methods, the core advantages are reflected in three aspects: 

① Improved efficiency: A single device can replace 3-5 manual workers, providing greater feeding continuity and avoiding production line interruptions. 

② Reduced costs: The average daily electricity bill is only 20-50 yuan (depending on the power), saving 60% over long-term use. The above labor costs, 

③ Raw material protection: The flexible conveying structure reduces the breakage rate of organic fertilizer pellets (≤3%), ensuring the efficiency of the finished fertilizer.

 

"What power forklift is required for proper operation of the equipment?

The matching depends on the feeder model: ① Small feeders (feeding capacity 5-10 tons/hour): Suitable for 1.5-2 ton forklifts; ② Medium feeders (10-20 tons/hour): Suitable for 2-3 ton forklifts; ③ Large feeders (20-30 tons/hour): Suitable for 3-5 ton forklifts. It is recommended that the forklift bucket capacity match the feeder inlet size (within a tolerance of no more than 20%) to prevent raw material spillage."

 

"Besides organic fertilizer, can this machine handle other materials?

Of course. This feeder has a wide range of applications and is also suitable for biomass pellet fuel production lines (processing wood chips and straw), feed production lines, soil remediation projects, and municipal sludge treatment, achieving multi-purpose use with one machine."
