Poultry Manure Drying Equipment
Multi-layer belt dryer that reduces fresh chicken manure moisture from 80% to 20% — without fermentation, without additives. Custom-engineered to match your daily output, with natural ventilation or independent heat supply. · 80%→20% Moisture reduction · 0 Additives required · 6,000+ kg / day (entry config) · 100% Custom-built per project
The moisture content of fresh chicken manure is reduced from 80% to 20%.
Since there is no fermentation process for drying, the original organic matter of the crops is well preserved. No additional materials are needed.
After drying, the odor can be eliminated, significantly improving the environment.
The dried poultry manure can also reduce fine dust and pests and diseases.
Its volume is also reduced, significantly lowering transportation costs.
The dried poultry manure contains a higher content of organic matter, which can be used as organic fertilizer or as fuel.
Unlike rotary drum dryers or open-air fermentation, Lonsin's poultry manure drying system uses a closed multi-layer chain-plate conveyor to ensure thorough, even moisture removal with no contact between dried and undried material.
Fresh poultry manure (typically 70–80% moisture) is fed into the system via a sealed conveying belt. The distribution mechanism spreads material evenly across the full width of each drying layer, ensuring consistent layer thickness.
Material travels through multiple stacked drying layers. Perforated steel plates allow heated air to pass through the manure bed continuously, extracting moisture layer by layer. Each pass flips and redistributes the material for uniform drying.
Warm exhaust air from the poultry house cooling fans is ducted directly into the dryer (zero additional energy cost), or an independent air supply unit is configured for higher-capacity or enclosed installations.
Dried manure (≤20% moisture) exits continuously at the end of the system. It can be bagged and sold immediately as organic fertilizer, stored long-term, or pelletized for fuel — no curing time needed.

Real installations with verified performance data. Both projects use natural ventilation from existing poultry house cooling fans as the sole heat source — zero additional fuel cost.
Reduces manure moisture from 70–80% down to 10–20% in a single continuous pass, with no batch waiting time. Processing throughput scales from a few tonnes to over 12 tonnes per day depending on configuration.
Continuous operation — no batch processing
Even layer distribution prevents wet spots
Output ready for immediate sale or storage
Because drying replaces fermentation entirely, the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content of the manure is preserved rather than broken down. The dried product suits a wider range of crops than fermented compost.
No additives or bulking agents required
Balanced NPK profile maintained
Suitable for vegetables, fruit trees, field crops
The primary configuration ducts existing warm exhaust air from the poultry house ventilation fans directly into the dryer. This converts a disposal problem into a drying asset, with energy costs as low as 30 kWh per operating hour.
Waste heat recovery from cooling fans
Independent heat unit available if needed
Intelligent controls minimize energy waste
Sustained high-temperature airflow through the drying layers kills bacteria, viruses, parasite eggs, and other pathogens that would otherwise survive conventional stacking or fermentation. The dried output is safe for fertilizer and biomass fuel use.
Eliminates Salmonella, E. coli risk
Destroys parasite eggs and fly larvae
Reduces disease re-introduction to the flock
The system runs continuously with minimal manual intervention. Sensors monitor temperature, humidity, and conveyor speed in real time, adjusting parameters automatically to maintain consistent output quality.
Automatic fault alarm and remote monitoring
Wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant components
Low maintenance — long service life
Designed to handle chicken manure but fully compatible with duck, goose, and other poultry waste. System parameters (belt speed, air temperature, layer count) are adjusted at configuration stage to suit the specific input material.
Chicken, duck, goose manure supported
Adjustable for varying moisture and density
Scalable from small farms to centralised hubs
Control structure
Conveying structure
Mixing structure
Customers can choose a suitable heat source based on local energy supply, cost budget, and environmental protection requirements.
The heating method of the heat source can also be customized, such as direct heating or indirect heating.
Natural / Waste Heat: Exhaust air from poultry house fans. Lowest operating cost. Recommended as default.
Biomass / Straw: Ideal where agricultural waste is abundant and cheap. Popular in SE Asia.
Natural Gas / LPG: Clean combustion, precise temperature control. Common in Europe and Middle East.
Coal / Briquette: Low-cost option where coal is the primary energy source. With dust control.
Electric Heating: Zero combustion emissions. Ideal for markets with strict air quality standards.
Equipment structure
From simple manual control to fully automatic control, customers can choose equipment with different automation degrees according to their production needs and staffing.
The functions of the automatic control system can also be customized
Appearance design
The appearance color, shape, etc. of the equipment can be customized according to customer requirements to meet the customer's personalized needs and coordination with the on-site environment.
