What is the granulation process for NPK compound fertilizer?
NPK compound fertilizer, containing the three core nutrients—nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K)—is a commonly used fertilizer in agricultural production. Granulation is a crucial step in its formation, directly determining the fertilizer's particle strength, nutrient uniformity, and application effect. The overall process mainly relies on the NPK fertilizer production line and is divided into three stages: raw material pretreatment, core granulation, and finished product post-treatment. Raw material pretreatment is the foundation of granulation. First, based on the fertilizer formula, basic raw materials such as urea, monoammonium phosphate, and potassium chloride are precisely proportioned, while binders such as bentonite and a small amount of functional additives are added. Then, the mixed raw materials are fed into a crushing device and crushed to 80-100 mesh fine powder to ensure uniform particle size and provide good material conditions for subsequent granulation...
