How to Manufacture Fertilizer Granules from Powder?
How to produce granular fertilizer from powder? This is a thing you must know when you plan to make granular fertilizer. As a professional fertilizer equipment manufacturer, SX can provide you with powder granulation process and various powder granulation machines for your choice. And in general, process of complete fertilizer granules from powder manufacturing system you need the following machines to achieve:
What Method Machine is Used in Organic Powder Pellets Production?
If you want to produce granular organic fertilizer smoothly, it is necessary to know how compost powder forms into organic fertilizer pellets. In general, it mainly relies on two forces to make powdery organic material in to granules. One is cohesive force between materials caused by liquid binder. Another is the resulting mechanical force of machine working. So usually , there are two kinds of granulation methods you can adopt in organic fertilizer granule production.
Wet granulation method machine for commercial fertilizer pellet making
In order to make it more convenient to add liquid, we especially design spray devices for our wet granulation machines. Moreover, in order to fully meet your requirements, we design wet granulation machines with different mechanical forces. Therefore, there are disc granulator, stirring teeth granulation machine and rotary drum pelletizer for your choice.
Dry powder granulator machine for low cost organic fertilizer granulation
How Much Does NPK Powder Granulator Machine Cost?
In addition, in the process of choosing NPK powder granulator machine, cost is also an item you must focus on. In general, when you plan to buy disc NPK fertilizer granulator for your fertilizer production line, you need to prepare about $1,000-$16,000 for it. How about drum NPK granulation equipment? The price of a rotary drum pellet making machine is $7,200 and $69,000.
What Types of Equipment is Commonly Used in Small or Large NPK Powder Granulation?
Summarizing the feedback of our past customers, there are two kinds of NPK powder granulation that are popular. Pan pelletizer and rotary drum granulation machine. What is the difference between them? The most obvious difference is that they are commonly used on differen scales. For example:
Pan pelletizer for small scale NPK granule manufacturing
If you only plan to start a small scale NPK fertilizer pellets making, we recommend you choose pan pellet machine. A disc granulator can produce 1-6 tons of NPK powder pellets in an hour. In addition, its granulation rate can reach over 93%. That is, when you use the same amounts of N, P, K to prepare compound fertilizer particles, disc pelletizer can help you granulate more chemical fertilizer powder. There is less material that needs to be returned to re-regulate, so you can finish small scale NPK pelleting effectively.
Drum granulation machine for large scale NPK granulation
But for those who want to produce NPK powder into pellets in a large scale, rotary drum granulator is a better choice. There are two reasons. For one thing, it has a larger capacity, which can reach 30 t/h. So it can help you finish large scale NPK powder granulation more quickly. For another, this fertilizer machine is designed with rubber lining, angle irons and cleaning holes. They greatly contribute to reducing the possibility of wall sticking. Therefore, drum pelletizer can withstand the erosion of a large amount of chemical materials processing.
