Straw Recycling Case Site in Anhui, China

An agricultural processing enterprise in Anhui, China, successfully put a new straw recycling system into operation. The project was launched to address long-standing problems related to crop residue disposal and environmental compliance. Our team provided a practical and stable solution based on the customer’s real production conditions. This case shows how a well-designed system can help convert agricultural waste into usable resources while reducing operational pressure.

Customer Background

During early discussions, the customer clearly described their main difficulties. Straw length varied widely, and moisture content changed with weather conditions. Wet straw often caused feeding problems in older equipment. Manual handling required many workers and increased costs each year. Existing machines also suffered from frequent jamming and unstable output. The customer wanted a system that could handle bulk straw smoothly, operate for long hours, and produce material suitable for biomass fuel and animal bedding.

Site Evaluation and Solution Design

Our engineers reviewed site photos, straw samples, and production targets. Based on this information, we designed a compact recycling line focused on stable feeding and high-torque shredding. The system included a reinforced feeding section, a shredding unit, discharge conveying, and basic dust control interfaces. Special attention was given to the feeding structure to prevent bridging and material blockage. The selected straw recycling machine allowed output size adjustment, which helped the customer serve multiple downstream uses with one system.

Technical Communication and Adjustments

Before confirming the design, the customer raised several practical questions. They asked how the system would perform with wet straw after rain. They also asked about blade wear, maintenance intervals, and energy consumption. Our team explained how cutter speed, blade structure, and screen selection influence performance. We recommended reinforced blades and shared real operating data from similar projects. To help control costs, we optimized the conveyor layout without reducing capacity. This adjustment kept the project within budget while maintaining reliability. After several technical discussions, the customer approved the final plan.

Manufacturing and Pre-Shipment Testing

Manufacturing followed strict quality standards. Each component was inspected before assembly, and motors and gearboxes were tested under load. Before shipment, we conducted a full test using real straw with different moisture levels. The straw recycling machine ran continuously for several hours without jamming. Output size remained consistent, and power consumption stayed within expected limits. Test videos and reports were sent to the customer, who approved shipment shortly after.

The customer prepared the foundation and electrical connections in advance, which shortened installation time. Our engineers arrived on site in Anhui to guide assembly and commissioning. Installation was completed smoothly. During setup, a feeding height issue appeared due to site constraints. Our engineer adjusted the hopper angle on site, improving feeding stability without additional equipment. This quick response avoided delays and extra costs.

Commissioning followed a step-by-step process. Each module was tested independently before full-line operation. When fresh straw was fed into the system, performance remained stable. Noise levels were low, and operators found the controls easy to understand. Training focused on daily operation, safety checks, lubrication, and simple parameter adjustments. The customer’s team quickly became confident in running the system independently.

Operational Results

After one month of operation, the customer provided clear feedback. Straw processing efficiency increased significantly, and manual labor demand dropped. Open burning was completely eliminated, which reduced environmental risk. Processed straw was reused internally and sold to local partners, creating additional revenue. The customer confirmed that the straw recycling machine met their production needs during peak harvest periods and operated reliably.

This project delivered both environmental and economic benefits. Air pollution risks were reduced, and compliance with local regulations improved. The customer strengthened its public image and gained better control over waste management

costs. By converting straw into usable material, the recycling system helped turn a disposal problem into a long-term resource.

Conclusion

This straw recycling case in Anhui demonstrates the value of practical engineering and clear communication. The system was designed around real operating challenges and delivered stable results. The recycling line now supports daily production with confidence, and our team continues to provide technical support as needed.
