From manure surplus to export product through precise moisture measure
Precise moisture measurement makes manure pelletizing efficient, reduces energy consumption, ensures quality and makes nutrient surpluses exportable. Pelletising manure makes excess nutrients transportable. Precise moisture measurement in the process is crucial for efficiency and product quality, especially in energy-intensive drying processes.
Manure surpluses as a structural challenge
In regions with high livestock density, significantly more nutrients are produced than can be applied locally. Slurry therefore needs to be processed, concentrated and marketed beyond the region to meet environmental regulations and secure value creation.
Pelletisation as the key to marketability
Pelletisation reduces volume and weight, improves storage stability and enables export to regions with nutrient demand. At the same time, requirements for process stability and consistent product quality increase, particularly with regard to moisture content.
Why moisture is the critical parameter
Water content affects drying energy consumption, pellet strength and storage stability. Deviations lead to higher costs, quality losses
