Japan law has banned the dumping of livestock waste. The current method for chicken manure management is to dry it using oil or electricity, or compost them as fertilizers. The problem is the huge quantity of waste and the high cost to manage it.

Our machinery is self-sufficient in energy. No fuel cost is needed to operate the machinery, and the left over fuel can be passed on to other machines.
In order to do so, the machine needs to meet the following criteria.

• Calories need to be consistent
• There has to be 6800 calories
• The machines must be able to use heavy oil as the energy source
• NOX, SOX, CO2, Dioxin cannot exceed the standard based in the law

Our machinery converts livestock waste and municipal waste into energy. Municipal wastes include kitchen garbage, soy pulp and active sludge, which will be dried in order to be managed.

Generally, one chicken dumps 100g of droppings a day. Therefore, when there are 500,000 chickens, there will be 50t of wastes a day, and this happens every day. In whole prefectures in Japan, there are 15000t to 17000t of chicken manure (yr2000) a day, and even if they were composed for fertilizers, the quantity exceeds the demands. Motoyama Shoji, Inc strives to utilize this natural resource not only as a fertilizer but also as fuel energy source, and with our machine it is possible to do so.

Please imagine how much energy it takes for raw chicken manure, which contains 80% of moisture, to dry them with general fossil fuel.
