The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING ORGANIC FERTILIZER
BACKGROUND
Technical Field
[0001] Embodiments of this disclosure generally relate to an organic Fertilizer manufacturing apparatus, more particularly, to a method for producing the organic Fertilizer using organic Fertilizer manufacturing apparatus. 5
Description of the Related Art
[0002] Conventionally if water-containing organic material, such as livestock dung or sewage sludge, etc., is disposed and made into organic Fertilizer, the above organic material and dried agent are charged into a containing chamber such as a hollow drum, etc., and the organic 10 material, dried agents and organic materials are decomposed by rotating the drum to stir and mix the microbes (fermenting microbes such as indigenous microbes) that make the organic material organic Fertilizer so that the moisture percentage of the mixture is adjusted to become approximately 60% to 65% (moisture adjustment),and the mixture, with the moisture percentage of approximately 60% to 65%, is primarily fermented under the medium -temperature conditions, 15 and then secondarily thermally fermented, at the same time, to produce the organic Fertilizer.
[0003] At that moment, the above moisture adjustment is conducted to decrease the moisture in the mixture to prevent the corrosion of organic Fertilizer, as well as to enlarge the surface of the organic material where the fermenting microbes are implanted, as much as possible, in order to promote the decomposition (fermentation) of the organic materials. Nevertheless, the 20 above mixture has a defect that it does not comprise enough surfaces to implant the fermenting microbes and, accordingly, it takes a long time to produce organic Fertilizer.
3
[0004] Secondly, there is a problem concerning production of the disposing microbes suitable for disposing the organic materials. These processing microbes are called "microorganism group". If organic Fertilizer is produced by disposing the organic material, the microorganism group suitable for a specific organic material is required to be produced. However, it takes several months or more to produce this microorganism group. 5
[0005] Therefore, to solve these problems, there remains a need for an organic Fertilizer manufacturing apparatus and a method for producing an organic Fertilizer from organic material in a short time with good efficiency.
