What equipment makes up an NPK fertilizer production line?

Image
An NPK fertilizer production line is a complete system that processes nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers with trace elements in a scientifically proportioned ratio into granular compound fertilizer. The entire line is divided into six modules according to the process flow: raw material pretreatment, precise batching, mixing and granulation, drying and cooling, screening and coating, and automatic packaging. The equipment is compact, highly automated, and can stably produce high-quality compound fertilizer. Raw material pretreatment is the first step in production. The main equipment includes crushers and vibrating screens. Raw materials such as urea, monoammonium phosphate, and potassium chloride often exhibit agglomeration. The crusher can pulverize lumpy materials to the qualified particle size; the vibrating screen separates coarse and fine materials, and unqualified materials are returned for reprocessing. The precise batching and mixing system determines the nutrient...
