Screening Stage in NPK Fertilizer Production Lines

In NPK compound fertilizer production lines, the screening stage is the "gatekeeper of quality," directly determining the uniformity, purity, and application effect of fertilizer particles. It is also a crucial link between raw material processing and finished product packaging, impacting the efficiency of the entire production line and product competitiveness.

NPK fertilizer is composed of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and various trace elements. After mixing and granulation, the raw materials form particles of varying sizes, containing incompletely reacted raw material powder or agglomerated impurities. The core task of the screening stage is to separate qualified particles that meet the particle size standard (usually 2-4.75mm) through multi-stage screening. Simultaneously, fine powder is recycled and regranulated, while large impurities are removed, achieving the dual goals of efficient resource utilization and product quality control.

Currently, the industry mainstream uses drum screener machines or vibration screener machines. Drum screener machines rely on the rotation of the drum to tumble and move materials, using different mesh sizes for grading. They are simple in structure, operate stably, and are suitable for processing high-moisture, easily agglomerated raw materials, reducing clogging and adapting to continuous operation in medium to large-scale production lines. Vibration screener machines, driven by a motor, vibrate at high frequency, causing materials to quickly stratify, offering high efficiency and controllable precision, meeting both conventional and high-uniformity requirements for fertilizer screening. Selection must consider production scale, raw material moisture content, and product standards, and dust and noise reduction devices must be included.

Process control is also crucial. Drum screener machines require adjusting rotation speed and feed rate according to material viscosity to prevent accumulation; vibration screener machines require monitoring of mesh tension and vibration frequency to prevent incomplete screening. Regularly cleaning the screens and inspecting transmission components can reduce malfunctions and ensure continuous production. Online monitoring systems can also monitor particle size in real time, providing feedback to adjust preceding granulation processes, forming a closed-loop quality control system.

High-quality screening processes can improve fertilizer distribution uniformity, enhance soil dissolution and absorption efficiency, reduce losses, increase yield, reduce packaging and transportation costs, and help improve market competitiveness. In the future, the combination of IoT and automated screening systems will further improve the accuracy and stability of NPK fertilizer production.

Equipment composition and cost of sheep manure organic fertilizer production line

Image
  At present,the  organic fertilizer production line  is more popular in the market.At present,we have roughly understood that the role of organic fertilizer production line is to treat the livestock manure to produce organic fertilizer,which not only deals with the livestock manure pollution,but also achieves the purpose of resource recycling.At the same time,the design and production of mechaincal equipment also promote the application of organic fertilizer production line,so what is the process flow in the organic fertilizer production line designed by using organic fertilizer equipment? The raw materials for the production of organic fertilizer include chicken manure,sheep manure,cattle manure and other animal manure.The technological process of sheep manure organic fertilizer production line is mainly as follows:add fermentation bacteria to organic waste,add some auxiliary raw materials,mix them and put them into fermentation tank for 7-8 days,and then they can be di...

Organic fertilizer production project and workshop configuration

Image
The traditional livestock and poultry breeding mode has a great impact on the surrounding ecological environment. How to solve this problem? Carry out ecological breeding mode and take a new way of green ecological and environmental protection. Relying on the organic fertilizer project, through organic fertilizer production equipment , the high-efficiency circular ecological breeding industry chain is continuously extended. Workshop configuration of organic fertilizer production project For example, if the annual output of 5000 tons is calculated as 10 months per year, the monthly production capacity is 500 tons. Each ton of fertilizer needs about 2 square meters of raw materials, then 1000 square meters are needed for a month. If the fermentation time of organic fertilizer is calculated as 15 days, the fermentation workshop needs at least 500 cubic meters of organic fertilizer raw material storage space. Calculated according to the turning height of the ordinary trough compost tu...

Organic fertilizer manufacturing process and machine composition

Image
A series of processing and organic fertilizer manufacturing machine can realize the resource utilization of animal manure and straw waste such as chicken manure, sheep manure, cow manure, etc. What are the manufacturing processes of organic fertilizer? What equipment is needed in this production process? After the compost fermentation is completed, the compost is crushed into powder in the organic fertilizer crusher. The powder is mixed into the organic fertilizer mixer to add auxiliary materials for mixing. After mixing evenly, the compost is put into the granulator to make particles. The particles are sent into the dryer to reduce the moisture content of the particles to 10-20%. After cooling, the compost is sent to the cooler for screening, and the unqualified products are screened out for recycling The belt conveyor enters into the pulverizer again to crush and screen out the finished products, which can be packaged directly. Composition of organic fertilizer manufacturing e...
