Complete production process of Fertilizer Granulation
The complete workflow for transforming organic fertilizer raw materials into granular products primarily includes pretreatment, fermentation, crushing, granulation, drying, cooling and screening, and packaging.
Pretreatment
01
The pretreatment stage involves compressing or plate-and-frame filtering livestock manure, crushing carbon-rich auxiliary materials like straw and fungal residue into 3-5mm particles, and conducting initial mixing.
Fermentation
02
Manure contains various pathogens and bacteria. Effective fermentation kills parasite eggs and weed seeds, allowing the raw materials to decompose fully. This prevents soil and plant damage during application.
Grinding
03
Before entering the pelletizer, raw materials must be ground into fine powder. This facilitates mixing and pelletization, ensuring optimal pellet formation.
granulation
04
The finely ground raw materials enter the pelletizer, a fertilizer granulator machine, where they are compressed into finished pellets by dual rollers. These pellets proceed to subsequent processing stages.
Drying
05
Pellets exiting the pelletizer contain high moisture content, resulting in softness and insufficient hardness. This makes them difficult to store and prone to mold growth and odor development, necessitating drying.
Cooling and Screening
06
The temperature of the dried granules is too high for immediate screening and packaging. A cooler is used to bring the granules back to room temperature, after which they are screened through a mesh screen below.
Packaging
06
The qualified granules, after cooling and screening, are packaged as finished products, primarily in bags. Once labeled, they are ready for shipment to sales outlets.
