Practical, India-specific guides from the workshop floor in Shahjahanpur — how our grinder-fed screening machines work, and how to run a vermicompost business around them.
Once a plant grows past a few beds, the work becomes moving material. Two conveyor types do most of it — the screw and the belt (patta) — and they are not interchangeable. Here is when to use each, with costs and HP…

Vermicompost is normally screened at 25–30% moisture because drying it further kills the biology you sell. Damp castings blind an ordinary mesh within…
A commercial vermicompost unit is built from standard beds, a steady supply of cow dung or farm waste, Eisenia fetida worms and a screening machine. B…
Raw manure and screened vermicompost are different products to a buyer. Screening removes lumps, stones, plastic and undecomposed matter, giving a fin…
Support for a vermicompost unit usually comes through NABARD-refinanced bank credit, state agriculture or horticulture department schemes, and MSME be…
Single-phase suits smaller machines and ordinary rural connections; three-phase suits larger machines and is cheaper to run where a three-phase line e…

Worms and cocoons are stock, not waste. Harvest so worms migrate downward first, screen at the right moisture, and collect the coarse fraction separat…
An Anand Organics machine needs only two maintenance jobs: cleaning the grinder, and greasing the bearings once a quarter. The full routine is demonst…
FCO registration governs selling fertiliser, including vermicompost, in India and involves meeting prescribed specifications and labelling. NPOP is se…
