Why used the fermentation tanks in biofertilizer manufacturing? 

A biofertilizer fermenter is a specialized tank used to decompose organic materials—such as animal manure, agricultural waste, or plant residues—through microbial fermentation. It provides the optimal environment for beneficial microorganisms to multiply and convert organic matter into nutrient-rich biofertilizer.

  • These fermenters play a crucial role in both solid and liquid biofertilizer production, ensuring stable microbial activity, odor control, and uniform product quality.

  • Fermenters can be either aerobic or anaerobic, depending on the desired formulation. In biofertilizer plants, fermentation is the foundation of a successful and stable product.

  • Whether you’re producing microbial inoculants, plant growth-promoting bacteria, or liquid bio-organic fertilizer, using a high-quality fermenter ensures efficiency, consistency, and compliance with regulatory standards.

It’s an indispensable part of any professional biofertilizer manufacturing line.

What composting method does the biofertilizer fermenter adopts?

Static aerobic composting is a composting method that uses oxygen, humidity and temperature to convert organic waste into organic microorganism fertilizer through the action of microorganisms. In the static aerobic composting process, organic waste (pig manure, chicken manure, cow manure, bacterial residue, Chinese medicine residue, crop straw) is in a well-ventilated container or equipment, through regular ventilation or oxygen supply system, to maintain sufficient oxygen in the pile.

Therefore, in an aerobic environment, the microorganisms in the bio fertilizer pile are able to decompose organic matter more efficiently, generate heat energy and facilitate the fermentation process of the pile.

What is the structure of the fermenter for biofertilizer production?

The fermenter for biofertilizer production usually consist of the following main parts:

The main structure of the fermenter, usually a cylindrical or square design. Our bio-fertilizer fermenters are made of high-strength carbon steel or 304 stainless steel with thermal insulation to maintain stable fermentation temperature.

Inside the fermenter, we design a horizontal or vertical agitator shaft with multiple paddles continuously stirs the material. It not only helps regulate moisture and temperature, but ensures microbial inoculants are evenly incorporated. The agitator is powered by a durable motor and gearbox, selected according to the capacity and viscosity of the composting material.

We have set up an integrated temperature monitoring system. It can track the various stages of composting (medium temperature, high temperature, cooling) in real time. The system can automatically adjust aeration or agitation to maintain ideal fermentation temperatures (55–70°C), ensuring effective pathogen elimination and microbial activity.

To meet environmental standards and prevent odor leakage, the fermenter is equipped with an exhaust gas collection system connected to a biofilter, activated carbon unit, or water spray scrubber. This system filters harmful gases like ammonia and hydrogen sulfide before discharging them, ensuring compliance with emission regulations.

Efficient fermentation depends on adequate oxygen. The fermentation pot includes a forced aeration system, using blowers and aeration pipes to inject oxygen directly into the material bed. It can effectively optimize microbial metabolism and reducing composting time.

Once fermentation is complete (typically 7–10 days), the fermented material is discharged via a hydraulic or screw outlet system at the bottom.At the same time, we equiped the fermentation tank with access ports or ladders for cleaning, inspection, and maintenance—facilitating safe, long-term operation.

What Types of Biofertilizer Fermenters Does YUSHUNXIN Offer?

YUSHUNXIN offers three main types of biological fertilizer fermenters to meet different composting needs:

The horizontal fermenter

It is an ideal choice for rapid aerobic composting. The horizontal fermenter features automatic mixing and temperature control, ensuring even fermentation and efficient odor control. It is suitable for small to medium-scale farms.

organic vertical fermentation pot

Organic Vertical Fermentation Pot

The vertical fermentation pot

Space-saving and fully enclosed. This fermenter handles larger volumes and maintains consistently high temperatures. It can dispose of 5-150 m³ of organic waste. It’s perfect for commercial biofertilizer production with limited land area.

Anaerobic Fermentation Tank

If you want to handle high-moisture organic materials, the anaerobic fermenter is a good choice. In a sealed oxygen-free environment, these tanks not only generate biogas for energy use, but also reduce odors and harmful pathogens during fermentation. This makes anaerobic fermentation a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution for waste treatment.

What should you pay attention to when using fermenter for biofertilizer production?

Composting temperature:

Biofertilizer compost fermentation requires a certain temperature to promote microbial growth and decomposition of organic matter. So, as organic waste ferments in the fermenter for biofertilizer production, the temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the tank in real time.

You can also adjust the temperature by starting an industrial electric blanket (embedded in the two-layer tank wall) to ensure the optimal survival temperature for beneficial bacteria (60-70 ℃). At the same time, in the upper part of the fermenter, the heating unit will also heat the oxygen pressed into the tank to ensure that the fermentation pot has the right temperature.

Proper humidity:

Proper humidity can provide the moisture required for microbial growth and reproduction, and promote the degradation and transformation of organic material. But too high or too low humidity will affect the fermentation effect and quality of microbial fertilizer compost. When using a biofertilizer fermenter, you should take care to control the feed moisture between 50-60%. In this way, after the successful fermentation, the discharge humidity is about 30%.

Oxygen:

Ventilation can provide sufficient oxygen to facilitate the aerobic fermentation process in bio fertilizer compost. Because it can quickly and effectively degrade organic matter in organic waste and produce organic biofertilizers. The high-pressure Roots blower sends the heated oxygen into the tank to ensure that the aerobic bacteria have enough oxygen. Oxygen sensors monitor the oxygen concentration in the tank in real time.

Top 4 Cost-Saving Benefits of Using Biological fertilizer Fermentation Tanks

Choosing the right fermenter can save you more than just time—it can dramatically cut labor, land, and environmental expenses. Here’s how a modern fermentation tank helps you maximize profits while minimizing operational costs.

Biofertilizer fermenters reduce energy and labor expenses with automated temperature and mixing systems. Unlike traditional composting, they eliminate the need for frequent manual turning, saving you daily labor costs and fuel consumption.

Closed fermenters complete composting in 7–15 days, compared to 30–60 days with traditional methods. Moreover, it is not affected by external weather and temperature. Faster turnover means quicker sales of finished biofertilizer and a faster return on your investment.

Vertical or horizontal fermentation tanks take up far less space than open composting areas. This allows you to set up a production line even on a small plot, reducing land leasing or construction costs.

Sealed fermenters control odor and leachate, helping you comply with environmental regulations without investing in expensive treatment systems. This reduces the risk of fines or shutdowns due to pollution complaints.
