What are the differences between BB fertilizer and NPK compound fertilizer?

Image
In agricultural production, BB fertilizer (blended fertilizer) and NPK compound fertilizer are commonly used compound fertilizers. Although both contain the core nutrients of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, they differ fundamentally in production logic, nutrient characteristics, and applicable scenarios. Choosing the right fertilizer is key to achieving precise fertilization and improving yield and quality. The production process is the most significant difference between the two. NPK compound fertilizer production uses a "chemical synthesis followed by granulation" model, where nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium raw materials are fused into a single compound through chemical synthesis reactions, and then processed into uniform granules through granulation and drying. BB fertilizer production , on the other hand, uses a "granulation followed by blending" method. High-concentration nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium single-nutrient fertilizers or single-nutri...

What equipment is needed to produce BB fertilizers?

Image
BB fertilizers are widely used in agricultural production due to their flexible nutrient combinations and adaptability to different crop needs. While the production process is not complex, it requires a set of specialized equipment to ensure the smooth progress of raw material processing, precise mixing, and metering and packaging. The core equipment can be divided into the following categories according to the production stages: The batching stage is the core link in ensuring precise nutrient content in BB fertilizer production. The automatic batching system is the core equipment in this stage, enabling automated and precise proportioning and dispensing of various raw materials. This system mainly consists of raw material silos, feeding equipment, and an intelligent control system: different types of raw materials (such as urea, monoammonium phosphate, potassium chloride, etc.) need to be stored separately in independent silos to avoid cross-contamination. Level gauges in the silos m...

How to Select NPK Fertilizer Granulation Equipment

Image
The selection of NPK fertilizer granulation equipment directly determines product quality, production efficiency, and overall cost.  A scientific decision must be made based on core factors such as raw material characteristics, production capacity, and product requirements. Current mainstream equipment includes double roller press granulator s, disc granulator s, and rotary drum granulator s, each with its own suitable application scenario, requiring precise matching to production needs. Raw material characteristics are the primary basis for selection. For dry inorganic fertilizer powders with a moisture content of less than 10%, a double roller press granulator is the preferred choice. It does not require the addition of binders, relying on high pressure for direct molding, resulting in high granule strength and low energy consumption. It is especially suitable for high-nitrogen and high-potassium formulations and hygroscopic materials. If processing lightweight fine powders or v...

What are the key considerations in NPK fertilizer production?

Image
NPK compound fertilizer is a core fertilizer in modern agriculture. Its production process involves complex chemical reactions and material handling, and any oversight can affect product quality, production safety, and the ecological environment. Therefore, the following key points must be strictly controlled during the operation of the NPK fertilizer production line . Raw material selection is the foundation of quality. The purity of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium raw materials directly determines the nutrient content of the fertilizer.  The content of impurities, heavy metals, and pollutants in the raw materials must be strictly tested. High-grade phosphate rock and other high-quality raw materials should be prioritized to prevent harmful components from affecting crop growth and soil health. At the same time, accurate raw material proportioning must be ensured, strictly controlling the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium ratio according to product specifications. Pre-produc...

Complete Analysis of the BB Fertilizer Production Process

Image
BB fertilizer (blended fertilizer), with its advantages of flexible formulation and precise nutrient content, has become an important choice for precision fertilization in modern agriculture. Its production quality depends on scientific process design and strict control. A professional BB fertilizer production line connects four major stages through standardized operations: raw material pretreatment, precise proportioning, mixing and blending, and finished product packaging and inspection. Each stage is interconnected, jointly ensuring fertilizer quality. Raw material pretreatment is the foundation of quality, with the core objective of removing impurities and ensuring uniform particle size. BB fertilizer raw materials are mostly single-nutrient fertilizers such as urea, potassium chloride, and monoammonium phosphate, as well as trace element fertilizers. Pretreatment requires screening through a vibrating screen or rotary screen (1-4mm mesh) to remove stones, impurities, and moisture...

How to Troubleshoot NPK Fertilizer Granulator Malfunctions

Image
The granulator is the core equipment in NPK fertilizer production , and its operational stability directly affects product quality and capacity. In actual production, granulators often experience malfunctions such as poor granulation, abnormal equipment vibration, and discharge blockage.  Troubleshooting requires a precise approach based on process characteristics. The following are common troubleshooting methods and key solutions. Poor granulation is a typical malfunction of NPK fertilizer granulator s, manifested as loose granules and uneven particle size. First, check the raw material ratio. If the moisture content of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium raw materials is too high or too low, it will lead to insufficient binding. The moisture content should be adjusted to a reasonable range of 20%-30%. Second, check the mixing uniformity. If the raw materials are not evenly mixed, resulting in insufficient binder content in some areas, the mixing blades should be inspected to ensu...

How to Address Uneven Mixing in NPK Fertilizer Production

Image
In the production of NPK fertilizer s, uneven mixing is a frequent problem that affects product quality.  This directly leads to an imbalance in nutrient distribution in the finished product, resulting in detection errors exceeding 1%, which in turn causes uneven crop growth, reduced fertilizer utilization efficiency, and even fertilizer-related disputes. To completely solve this problem, it is necessary to trace the root causes and implement targeted technical control measures. The main causes of uneven mixing are concentrated in three areas: firstly, shortcomings in the mixing process, such as insufficient mixing time (less than 5 minutes) or worn blades preventing thorough mixing; secondly, excessive differences in raw material particle size, such as potassium fertilizer not being crushed to 80 mesh or finer, making it difficult to uniformly mix large particles with fine powder; and thirdly, non-standardized batching procedures, where the feeding order is not adjusted according ...
