Comparison of Mainstream NPK Manufacturing Process
The production process of NPK compound fertilizer directly determines the product quality, cost, and applicable scenarios. Among them, drum granulation and extrusion granulation are the two most widely used mainstream processes in the industry. Each has its own technical characteristics, adapting to different production needs. Below is a comprehensive comparison and analysis of their process principles, product characteristics, cost-effectiveness, and applicable scenarios to provide a reference for production selection. Rotary drum granulation is a mature and widely used process in NPK production. Its core principle is to crush and mix nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium raw materials, then feed them into an inclined rotating drum. By injecting steam or a binder, the raw materials gradually agglomerate into uniform particles under the rolling friction of the drum. The core advantages of this process are its strong continuity and high capacity, making it suitable for large-scale indus...
