Compound Fertilizer Production Process

Raw materials are automatically conveyed from silos to electronic batching scales via belt conveyors or screw feeders, ensuring precise formula adherence.

Materials are crushed to a uniform fineness and then intensively mixed in a horizontal mixer for 3-5 minutes to achieve perfect nutrient distribution.

Rotary Drum Granulation: The mixed powder is agglomerated into spherical granules in a rotating drum using a liquid binder (steam/water). The tumbling action forms uniform, round granules.

Double Roller Extrusion Granulation: Dry powder is compressed into dense sheets by two counter-rotating rollers, then crushed and sieved into uniform, irregularly shaped granules. Ideal for heat-sensitive materials.

Moist granules are dried in a rotary dryer fueled by hot air to reduce moisture to <2%. They are then cooled in a rotary cooler to ambient temperature to solidify strength and prevent caking.

Cooled granules are classified by a vibrating screen. On-size product proceeds; oversize is crushed and undersize powder is recycled back to the mixer, maximizing yield (>95%).

Qualified granules are coated in a polishing drum with a thin layer of anti-caking agent to enhance flowability, reduce dust, and improve storage stability.

Finished granules are automatically weighed, filled into bags (woven/valve), sealed, and palletized for storage or shipment.

Compound Fertilizer Production Line

Advantages

Unmatched Formulation Flexibility

Produce a vast range of NPK grades (e.g., 15-15-15, 20-10-10) with precise nutrient control. High granulation rate and uniform particle size ensure premium product quality.

Superior Energy & Cost Efficiency

Integrated heat recovery systems redirect waste heat from the cooler to the dryer, cutting thermal energy consumption by up to 25-30% and significantly lowering operating costs.

Built for Durability & Uptime

Critical wear parts (granulator liner, crusher blades) are made from high-chrome alloy or ceramic, ensuring extended service life, minimal maintenance, and maximum production continuity.

Intelligent Plug-and-Play Automation

Centralized PLC control with user-friendly HMI allows for one-stop monitoring and adjustment. Reduces labor dependency and ensures consistent, repeatable quality.

Eco-Compliant Operation

Closed-loop design with efficient baghouse dust collectors and optional odor scrubbers ensures emissions meet strict international environmental and safety standards.
