Granule Making Fertilizer Machine

Fertilizer granules can improve the physical properties of the product, thus reducing the hazards of moisture absorption, caking, and dusting during the transportation process. Moreover, granular fertilizers are suitable for application by machine and improve application efficiency. As a renowned manufacturer, MFP factory makes both wet and dry granule making fertilizer machine, as well as different capacity.

Different nutrients can combine in fertilizer pellets, thus making fertilizer application becomes more convenient. Compared with powder fertilizer, the application of granular fertilizer can slow down the rate of nutrient leaching, thus reducing the damage to seeds and reducing the loss of nutrients.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Wet Granulation

In general, wet granulation has a higher capacity. Wet granulation minimizes the dust generated when handling the material. Moreover, it reduces the formation of agglomerates during storage. There are fewer wear parts in wet granulation machines.

It is avoidable to return materials and granulate them again. Besides, you need to add a large amount of water (30-50%). The drying process will cost you a lot. At the same time, the drying process will cause nitrogen loss. Due to the use of dryers and other equipment, energy consumption increases, and equipment corrosion increases.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Dry Granulation

In general, the absence of water and other organic solvents is one of the key benefits of dry granulation over wet granulation.

Moreover, the dry granulation technique reduces environmental pollution because it produces no exhaust emissions.

The method is less expensive, quick to scale up, and simple to use. It also doesn’t need specialized air conditioning or hot air drying systems.

⇒The advantages of dry granulation include consistent particle size, greater bulk density, enhanced flowability, controlled disintegration, and simplicity of future processing.

Continuous manufacturing is also made possible by the production facility’s compact machine footprint. Also, the high containment design guards against highly reactive compounds contaminating the production area and workers.

The end product of the double roller granulator machine is a little bit difficult for machines to sow. Besides, the capacity of the dry granulation machines is about 2-3 tons and they have high wear part costs. The material is liable to leak if there is no compaction.

For instance, a leak in the side seal of the roller skin of the roll granulator will result in uncompacted material. The final product won’t be uniform if the amount of leaked powder differs from the amount of powder that was initially blended. Moreover, the material’s compressibility may be adversely impacted by repeated roll presses.

Pan Granulator

 

MFP produces high-quality and all sizes of pan granulators for you to choose from. Let’s know more about it.

Simple structure, convenient operation, and easy maintenance. In particular, it is easy and fasts to replace and adjust the operation because you can directly see the granulation situation in the disc.

Due to the centrifugal force, the rolling track of the material in the pan becomes smaller and smaller as the particle size increases, and when the required particle size is reached, it is automatically ejected from the edge of the pan. The particle size of the product is relatively uniform.

High strength and good quality of the product particles (as picture shows). As the particles gradually increase in the process of rolling and beating, their density is high, the surface is smooth and not easy to crush.

The main body price is low and the required installation area is small. In the case of the same output, the price of the disc granulator itself is two-thirds of that of the drum granulator, and the installation area is about half of that of the drum granulator.

The disc pelletizer is recommended for plants with small production volumes (1-3 tons). The operation is completely exposed to the air. After the pellets are formed, it is not easy to discharge them, and difficult to deal with the dust raised during the mixing process.

Drum Granulator

The drum pelletizer is suitable for plants that require high production volumes(15-30tons) and have mandatory requirements for more stable pelletizing production. The entire drum pelletizing process takes place in an enclosed space. This provides better control of contamination and greater flexibility for difficult materials.

Drum pelletizing production process is the raw material powder particles continuously into the granulation container, such as slow rotation of the disc or drum, in the container sprayed with water solution or granulation accelerator, particles along the direction of rotation of the granulation container rolling, and finally, grow into the required size of particles. The strength of the particles is not high when wet, but the crystalline state of the solid bridging formed by drying makes it possible to obtain particles of high hardness. In addition, the particle size of this product is easy to control and the production efficiency is high. This method is the main method of fertilizer production.

Dry Granulation Machines

We produce two different kinds of pelletizing equipment: a flat die pelletizer and a double roller granulator. You can granulate all types of compound fertilizers with a double roller pelletizer. The ball nests on the roller skins, which can be altered to meet the needs of the customer, decide the end product’s varied shapes. It may be square, walnut-shaped, or round. While the flat die pelletizer may process organic fertilizer or feed pellets. If you want round pellets, you can add an organic fertilizer polishing machine after the flat die pelletizer. The final pellets are cylindrical and range in size from 2 to 10 mm.

In a nutshell, these two methods of granulation can make many sizes of pellets you need. Moreover, they can assemble various kinds of production line scales. If you have other questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
