npk compound fertilizer
NPK fertilizer production line is an industrial facility for producing compound fertilizers, which mainly contain three basic elements: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). The production process includes steps such as raw material pretreatment, mixing, granulation, drying, cooling, screening and packaging. First, the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium raw materials are pretreated according to the ratio and fully mixed. Then, the mixture is made into granules by granulating equipment. After the granules are dried and cooled, qualified products are screened out. Unqualified granules will be returned for re-granulation. Finally, the finished products are packaged into bags by an automatic packaging system for storage and transportation. The NPK fertilizer production line has a high degree of automation, which can improve production efficiency and ensure product quality. It is an important equipment for modern agricultural production.

What equipment is needed in the production process of NPK compound fertilizer and what is the function of each equipment?
Raw Materials Warehouse
Used to store nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other auxiliary raw materials to ensure the continuous supply of raw materials during the production process. These raw material silos usually have moisture-proof and pollution-proof functions to ensure the quality and safety of raw materials.
Conveying Equipment
Such as belt conveyors and screw conveyors, which are mainly used to transport raw materials from warehouses to various processes of production lines. The selection of conveying equipment needs to consider the conveying capacity, conveying distance and characteristics of the conveyed materials to ensure an efficient and stable conveying process.
Batching System
The automatic batching system is mainly suitable for mixing, batching and feeding of 2-8 materials. It is suitable for sites with continuous batching requirements.
This batching system is automatic, that carries materials on a conveyor belt, can perform dynamic and continuous measurement during operation and can send and receive corresponding control signals.
It is mainly composed of belt scale body, load sensor, speed sensor, frequency converter, motor, reducer, control instrument and other main components.
Mixing Equipment
The nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other additives prepared in proportion are fully mixed to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed. Common mixing equipment includes horizontal mixers and vertical mixers. The design of the mixer should ensure that the materials are fully mixed in a short time, avoid dead corners and excessive wear, and ensure the uniformity and consistency of the mixed materials.
Disc Granulator
The mixture is formed into granules by rotating the disc and adding an appropriate amount of water or adhesive. The disc granulator is suitable for producing small and medium-sized granules, with easy operation and good granulation effect.
Drum Granulator
The raw material mixture is rolled into granules through the rotation and friction of the drum. The drum granulator is suitable for producing large granules, with high production efficiency and high granule hardness, and is suitable for large-scale production.
Drying Equipment
The wet granules after granulation are dried by hot air to remove moisture and increase the strength of the granules. The rotary dryer is usually composed of a rotary drum, a heating device, a transmission device and an exhaust device, etc. It has the characteristics of high drying efficiency and large processing capacity. The granules after drying not only have increased hardness, but are also more suitable for long-term storage and transportation.
Cooling Equipment
The dried granules are cooled to reduce the temperature and prevent the granules from breaking during subsequent processing. The cooling process is usually achieved by the flow of cold air. The temperature of the cooled granules is close to room temperature, thus ensuring that the granules do not deform or agglomerate during storage and packaging.
Screening Equipment
The cooled particles are screened to remove unqualified particles to ensure uniform particle size of the finished product. The vibrating screen consists of a screen, a vibrator and a shock absorber. The particles are classified by size through the vibration of the screen. Unqualified particles are returned for re-granulation, and qualified particles enter the next process.
Coating Equipment
The coating treatment of the particles increases the stability and anti-caking of the particles, and improves the storage and use performance of the fertilizer. The coating machine sprays a thin film on the surface of the particles to make the particles smoother and more wear-resistant, and reduce the risk of moisture absorption and agglomeration during storage and transportation.
Packaging Equipment
Qualified NPK fertilizer granules are packaged according to the predetermined weight, sealed and labeled for easy storage and transportation. Automatic packaging machines usually include multiple links such as weighing, filling, sealing and printing, which can efficiently complete the fertilizer packaging operation, ensuring that each bag of product is accurate in weight and firmly packaged.
Dust Removal Equipment
It is used to collect dust generated during the production process, purify the workshop environment, and ensure that the production process meets environmental standards. Common dust removal equipment includes bag dust collectors and cyclone dust collectors. Through efficient filtering and separation technology, dust particles generated during the production process are collected to avoid environmental pollution and protect the health of workers.
