In modern fertilizer production, batching accuracy directly affects product quality. The single bin single scale system is an ideal choice for small and medium-scale production with its unique design.
What is a Single Bin Single Scale System?
It’s a simplified material batching system where each storage bin has its own weighing device, enabling simultaneous weighing of multiple materials.
Core advantage: One-to-one design prevents cross-contamination and enables parallel weighing for higher efficiency.
Difference from Multi-Bin Systems
| Comparison | Single Bin Single Scale | Multi-Bin Single Scale |
| Weighing Method | Simultaneous weighing | Sequential weighing |
| Batching Speed | Fast (parallel) | Slow (serial) |
| Cross-Contamination | Very Low | Medium-High |
| Maintenance Cost | Lower | Higher |
Suitable Production Lines
- Organic Fertilizer: Prevents cross-contamination
- BB Fertilizer: Ensures precise mixing
- Specialty Fertilizer: Small-batch production
- Medium-Scale Compound: Below 50,000 tons/year
Advantages and Limitations
Pros
- High accuracy (±0.2%)
- No cross-contamination
- Lower maintenance
- Flexible formulation
Cons
- Higher initial cost
- Larger space needed
- Less efficient for large scale
Production Benefits
Improves formula accuracy to over 99%, reduces batch time by 25-40%, and saves 3-5% in annual material costs.
