Indonesia is one of the largest agricultural countries in Southeast Asia, producing massive amounts of livestock manure, crop residues, and food waste every year. Managing this organic waste efficiently has become a key issue for both environmental protection and sustainable agriculture.
An increasing number of local farms and agribusinesses are turning to modern organic fertilizer production lines in Indonesia to convert waste into valuable organic fertilizer — improving soil health, reducing pollution, and supporting national food security.
The Growing Demand for Organic Fertilizer in Indonesia
With a population exceeding 270 million and agriculture contributing over 13% of GDP, Indonesia’s demand for organic fertilizer is rapidly rising.
Long-term use of chemical fertilizers has degraded soil structure and reduced organic matter. Organic fertilizers are now recognized as the sustainable alternative that restores soil balance, supports microbial activity, and increases long-term productivity.
Government programs such as “Go Organic 2030” and growing consumer demand for eco-friendly produce have accelerated the development of organic fertilizer production lines across Indonesia, particularly in provinces like East Java, Central Java, and Sumatra.
Process Flow of an Organic Fertilizer Production Line in Indonesia
An organic fertilizer production line is designed to transform raw organic waste into stable, high-quality granular fertilizer through several processing stages.
Below is a breakdown of each stage using LANE Heavy Industry’s equipment solutions.
1.Raw Material Mixing
Raw materials such as poultry manure, cow dung, rice husk, palm waste, and composted straw are first mixed using a horizontal mixer or double-shaft mixer.
This step adjusts the carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio and moisture content, ensuring balanced fermentation and uniformity before composting.
2.Composting and Fermentation
The mixed materials are transferred to a composting area for aerobic fermentation.
Depending on the project scale, LANE provides different compost turners:
Crawler Type Compost Turner – efficient for outdoor windrow composting.
Groove Type Compost Turner – ideal for controlled indoor fermentation.
These machines introduce oxygen and maintain optimal temperature (55–70°C) for about 15–20 days, killing pathogens and accelerating organic matter breakdown.
Once the compost becomes dark and odorless, it is ready for further processing.
3.Crushing — Vertical Shaft Crusher
After fermentation, the composted material often contains clumps or fibrous residue. It is processed using a vertical shaft crusher, which finely crushes materials from top to bottom through high-speed rotating blades.
This ensures uniform particle size, improving granulation efficiency and product quality.
Compared to traditional semi-wet crushers, the vertical shaft crusher has higher output and less clogging, especially suitable for moist materials common in Indonesia’s humid climate.
4.Granulation — Stirring Pin Granulator
The crushed material is then transferred to a stirring pin granulator for shaping.
This machine combines mechanical agitation and rolling force to form dense, round granules without requiring high temperature or pressure.
The stirring pin granulator is particularly effective for organic materials such as poultry manure, cow dung, and composted residues, creating uniform pellets with strong hardness and good nutrient retention.
The result is granules with a diameter of 3–5 mm — suitable for both field application and commercial packaging.
5.Screening — Rotary Drum Screener
After granulation, the product passes through a rotary drum screener to separate qualified pellets from undersized or oversized ones.
Qualified pellets move forward for drying and packaging.
Oversized or under-formed particles are returned to the granulator for reprocessing.
This screening step improves product uniformity and commercial value, ensuring every bag meets Indonesian agricultural standards.
6.Drying and Cooling
The screened fertilizer granules are sent to a rotary drum dryer, where hot air reduces their moisture content to around 10–15%.
They are then cooled by a rotary drum cooler, which prevents clumping and improves storage stability.
Proper drying and cooling are critical in Indonesia’s tropical environment to avoid moisture absorption during storage.
7.Packaging
Finally, the finished organic fertilizer is packed using an automatic weighing and bag-sealing machine.
The system can handle 10–50 kg bags efficiently, preparing the product for market distribution or in-house agricultural use.
Advantages of an Organic Fertilizer Production Line in Indonesia
Environmental Protection – Reduces pollution from livestock and crop waste.
Soil Improvement – Restores organic matter and boosts microbial activity.
Economic Value – Turns farm waste into marketable fertilizer.
Energy Efficiency – Machines such as the stirring pin granulator and vertical crusher require less energy while maintaining high output.
Government Support – Indonesia encourages local organic fertilizer production through cooperative and private sector initiatives.
Case Study: Poultry Manure Fertilizer Project in East Java
In East Java, a poultry farm installed a 3–5 tons per hour organic fertilizer production line designed by LANE Heavy Industry.
The line included:
Horizontal mixer
Crawler type compost turner
Vertical shaft crusher
Stirring pin granulator
Rotary drum screener
Rotary dryer and cooler
Automatic packaging system
After six months of operation, the farm achieved:
Reduction of manure waste by 90%
Organic fertilizer output of 3,000 tons per year
New income from fertilizer sales to local vegetable growers
LANE provided on-site installation and training, helping local operators master daily maintenance and process control.
