“…Fertilizer pellet is produced from densification process using pellet mill with 10 kg/h of capacity (Renjani et al, 2016). Main component of pellet mill called dies, consisting of 251 holes with 6.5 mm of diameter (Renjani & Wulandani, 2019). Biogas residue and POME slurry as the materials were pressed using two rotated rollers on the top of dies.…”

Organic fertilizer can yield higher production compared to regular fertilizer if properly applied. Thus, it can be a solution to improve nutrient content of soil. The biggest source of bio slurry in plantation is from Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) and cow dung biogas. This research aimed to analyze the residue’s potential from the result of biogas processing and bio slurry from POME as slow-release fertilizer pellet. Bio slurry was processed into pellet through densification process using pellet mill. The research was arranged in a Randomized Block Design method with five slurry compositions as treatments, including 70:30, 60:40, 50:50, 40:60, and 30:70 (ratio of biogas slurry and POME slurry), each consisted of three replications. According to the data obtained, fertilizer pellets had characteristics of 25 – 29 mm of length, 5.23 – 5.85 mm of diameter, 0.44 – 0.53 g/cm3 of density, 54.78% - 81.96% of durability, and 7.81% - 8.57% of moisture content. Based on density and durability aspects, 30:70 composition was the higher. Macronutrient content of the five compositions were 1.88% - 2.72%, in which on day 22, N, P, and K release was 0.36 – 1.01%, 73.51 – 97.48%, and 3.19 – 7.85%, respectively. Meanwhile, on day 17, the nutrition solution conductivity of all compositions had already reached 0.80 – 1 mS/cm.

“…A pellet mill with a ring mold has been designed but it needs 15 hp, which is high energy [5]. To improve biomass density and produce high-quality pellets, pelletizing machine was desugned which consists of three main unit operations: drying, size reduction (grinding), and densification [6]. A machine was fabricated with a simplified operating system to produce a specific feed [7].…”

“…Analysed results of roller, die, shaft and connecting rod are presented in terms of fatigue life at applied load. The material used for the components was structural steel, where the total weight of components and applied load is given in table 2 and Figs: 9, 10, 11 and 12 shows that fatigue life of material is 1×10 6 , which results that fatigue life is normal and material can undergo 1×10 6 cyclic load, hence material is safe and can be utilized.…”

This paper places a strong emphasis on the development of agriculture-based technology, which will motivate farmers and owners of subpar property to raise cattle. The paper discusses the material safety factor and fatigue life for manufacturing of pelletizing machine for leptochloa fusca. The emphasis of this technology is to pelletize the leptochloa fusca (Kallar Grass). The initiative focuses on the advancement of agriculturally based technology. The fatigue life and factor of safety of the main components of the pelletizing machine were examined in ANSYS software by using a sample of SolidWorks. Analysis of factor of safety and fatigue life represents that material is safe and can undergo 1×106 cyclic load, hence material is safe for the manufacturing of pelletizing machine for leptochloa fusca.

“…The machine is a common machine that can be fabricated but with technical knowhow without which the entire process will be marred as misalignment will cause malfunction. Due to reverse engineering principle and condition of power system the buildup/arrangement of the machine targeted the adoption of electric motor and prime mover (gasoline engine) for efficient operation and continues operation (Renjani & Wulandani, 2019). The machine is designed in such a way that they have little manual intervention required during the process.…”

The poultry industry plays a crucial role in meeting the global demand for animal protein. To ensure optimal growth and productivity of poultry, the formulation and processing of high-quality feed are essential. Feed pelleting is a common method employed to enhance the nutritional value, digestibility, and handling characteristics of poultry feed. The machine which meant for the production of poultry feed pellets in good quantities, was designed, fabricated and its performance evaluation was carried out accordingly. The independent dual operated Poultry Feed Pelleting Machine permits constant production line since the prime mover (diesel engine) would be plunged into operation as at when due, that is, when electricity power supply failed. The materials used were locally sourced which included; mild steel, high carbon steel, aluminum, 3hp electric motor, prime mover and axle. The base materials are corn, soybean, wheat, rice bran, wheat bran, herbs, fish meal, groundnut cake etc. The machine functioned reliably at the throughput capacity of 95kg per hour and up to 800kg per day with 95% efficiency proved its high performing rate. Moreover, the study showed that useful information in designing pelleting machine that produced pellet optimally when the appropriate moisture condition for feed materials is considered ranging from 20% - 30% with temperature range of 500C-700C. The results indicate that the developed machine offers significant advantages in terms of pellet quality, production efficiency, and energy consumption compared to conventional pelleting methods. The developed machine is recommended to facilitate the production of poultry feed pellets for small scale and medium scale farmers.
