Organic Products Distribution and Mexico JV Partner, Blue Ocean Producers has been awarded a contract to dry crabshell processing waste.
.jpg) 
It is our intent to take the waste and produce value added products that will be able to be marketed in several different venues.
Crab shell has sea type micro and macro nutrients that have very beneficial effects on soil microbial activity and plant growth potential.
In addition to fertilization which supplies nutrients to the soil microbes as well as plants, the crab shell contains an ingredient called chitin.
The chitin is easily adapted by the soil microbes into their diets.
Once the crab shell fertilizer has been used and exhausted some of the soil microbes, which have been accustom to that ingredient in their diet, now search for natural occurring chitin.
Natural occurring chitin found within the soil microbial community is specifically found in the nematode.
Therefore crab shell has been successfully used to help control the nematode populations found in many of the crops such as tomatoes, strawberries, and other row crops.
The reduction of crab shell waste has traditionally been done by employing a hammer mill to create specific sized particles which are then dried to produce a crab meal.
We can design, develop, install and apply a specialized dryer called a 4000 Sling Dryer that will offer us two benefits in one machine.
The unique ability of the Sling dryer to be adjusted while in operation to move the particle/gas flow from one of 80% drying 20% grinding to a condition of 80% grinding and 20% drying can provide very economical results.
The sling name is definitive in that is shows that crab shell is entrained in high speed gas (air) flow and is forced into a cyclonic flow such as one would sling a rock to watch it disintegrate upon impact.
Particle size is of great importance in the drying science and has equal importance in the application of the crab shell as a fertilizer or animal feed supplement.
To achieve the grinding versus drying feature we can install a unique apparatus that allows the particle/gas flow to effectively self collide (grinding) or have a linear flow with little self colliding (drying).
Testing has shown that crab shell carpaices (sp) in 3-6" diameter size can be reduced to a 3/8" (minus) particle size during a single pass.
And, during that pass much of the free attached water is evaporated due to elevated temperature of the gas (air) and the combination of the high speed gas (air) path.
Other unique features of the sling dryer include a specialized nano glass ball coating to the exterior surfaces that provides excellent heat retention within the system. 20 mills thickness of the nano insulation is equivalent to 4.5" of fiberglass insulation.
State of the art receiving bin vent filtration system allows the reuse of exhaust heat to pre-dry the incoming crab shell without contamination by fines.
Specialized controls allowing an operator to change almost all of the basic parameters of the process.
Heat is monitored and controlled, spark detection and fire suppression is included, air flow can be monitored and adjusted, and feed of raw material can be monitored and adjusted all from one console of a computer.
An additional feature that has good utilization in the processing of crab waste is the fact that a small plant food print can be achieved since the sling dryer has a vertical dimension as well as a short horizontal dimension.
All of the above features can be operated in various forms of energy sources, natural gas, electricity, methane gas (if available), diesel, oil, and solar (when available).
The application of this dryer can be the foundation of many crab waste retail products. It will all of to achieve the coveted goal of "100% utilization of the crab resource" this would make our company a leader in green and recycling arenas.

All Organic Products Distribution Products meet USDA Certification.
Organic certification
Organic certification is a certification process for producers of organic food and other organic agricultural products.
In general, any business directly involved in food production can be certified, including seed suppliers, farmers, food processors, retailers and restaurants. Requirements vary from country to country, and generally involve a set of production standards for growing, storage, processing, packaging and shipping that include:
- avoidance of most synthetic chemical inputs (e.g. fertilizer, pesticides, antibiotics, food additives, etc), genetically modified organisms, irradiation, and the use of sewage sludge;
- use of farmland that has been free from chemicals for a number of years (often, three or more);
- keeping detailed written production and sales records (audit trail);
- maintaining strict physical separation of organic products from non-certified products;
- undergoing periodic on-site inspections.
In some countries, certification is overseen by the government, and commercial use of the term organic is legally restricted. Certified organic producers are also subject to the same agricultural, food safety and other government regulations that apply to non-certified producers.

How Vitazyme Works
The Secret is Improved Symbiosis, all plants that grow in soils develop an intimate relationship between the roots and the organisms that populate the root zone.
The teeming billions of bacteria, fungi, algae, cyanobacteria, protozoa, and other organisms that grow along the root surfaces–the Rhizosphere–are much more plentiful than in the bulk of the soil. This is because roots feed the organisms with dead root epidermal cells as well as compounds exuded from the roots themselves. The plant may inject up to 25% or more of its energy, fixed in the leaves as carbohydrates, amino acids, and other compounds, into the root zone to feed these organisms…for a very good purpose.
The microorganisms which feed on these exuded carbon compounds along the root surfaces benefit the plant in many ways…a beautiful symbiotic relationship. The plant feeds the bacteria, fungi, algae, and other microbial species in the rhizosphere, which in turn secrete enzymes, organic acids, antibiotics, growth regulators, hormones, and other substances which are absorbed by the roots and transported to the leaves.
The acids help dissolve essential minerals, and reduced iron releases anionic elements. A few important microbe groups are listed below.
Important Microbe Groups
 |
Mycorrhizae, especially vesicular-arbuscular (VAM) types, form "arbuscules" within root cortical cells and extend thread-like hyphae into the soil, increasing the root feeding surface by ten times or more. They are a major means for uptake of phosphorous, copper, zinc, and other less mobile elements. They also can extract water under much drier conditions than can plant roots.
|
Cyanobacteria fix carbon (they photosythesize), and also fix nitrogen from the air for plant use.
Phosphate-dissolving bacteria excrete acids that dissolve minerals and release hard-to-get phosphorous.
Azotobacter species live on exudates and other carbon sources while fixing nitrogen.
Actinomycetes generate a variety of pathogen-fighting antibiotics.
The Symbiotic Cycle
|
Vitazyme contains "metabolic triggers" that stimulate the plant to photosynthesize better, fixing more sunlight energy in the form of carbon compounds to increase the transfer of carbohyrdates, proteins, and other growth substances into the root zone. These active agents may enter the plant through either the leaves or the roots. Root growth and exudation are both enhanced. This enhancement activates the metabolism of the teeming population of rhizosphere organisms to a higher level, triggering a greater synthesis of growth-benefiting compounds and a faster release of minerals for plant uptake. The plant microbial symbiosis is stimulated.
|
 |
|
Very small amounts of these metabolic triggers in Vitazyme are needed to greatly improve plant and rhizosphere microbe response. This is because of the enzyme cascade effect. Successive tiers of enzymes are activated in plant and microbial tissues to yield a large physiological response from very little applied activator.
|
The Enzyme Cascade Effect
|
In short, Vitazyme enables the plant to better express its genetic potential by reducing the stresses that repress that expression.

Soil Benefits
Besides improving the growth of plants, Vitazyme also benefits soil characteristics.
Soil structure may markedly improved over time because of:

-
Increased root growth, and thus more root channels
-
Greater polysaccharide production by microbes to glue clay platelets together; only 0.2% more polysaccharide can markedly improve structure.
-
Improved mycorrhizal activity, creating sac-like structures.
-
Greater earthworm activity, their burrows creating channels for air and water. Improvements in structure mean cleavage planes to promote the ready exchange of air and water. Water infiltration is increased, and runoff and erosion are consequently decreased. Compaction is reduced so roots can freely explore the soil for nutrients and water, increasing yields.
