Among fertilizer production equipment, disc granulation lines are highly favored by small and medium-sized enterprises for their flexibility and efficiency. You might be curious: how does this seemingly simple “disc” actually create high-quality fertilizer? And what equipment can be used in conjunction with it to upgrade production?
The core of a disc granulation line is the disc granulator , a delicate craftsman. Pre-treated raw materials are fed into the inclined disc, which rotates at a suitable speed. Centrifugal force, gravity, and friction combine to cause the raw materials to continuously roll and agglomerate, gradually solidifying into smooth, uniform granules.This granulation method not only reduces energy consumption but also allows for flexible adjustment of particle size, making it easily adaptable to organic fertilizers, compound fertilizers, and bio-fertilizers. During the production process, the raw materials are first crushed into a fine powder by a pulverizer and then precisely mixed according to the formula by a blender. After the granules are formed, a dryer quickly removes moisture, a cooler stabilizes the granules, and a sieving machine filters out unqualified granules for reprocessing, ensuring that every batch of finished products meets standards.
In addition to the core disc granulation equipment, the production line also requires a variety of other “helpers.” The batching system uses intelligent sensors to precisely control the amount of each raw material, ensuring the perfect nutrient ratio in the fertilizer. The coating machine provides a “protective coating” for the granules, reducing losses during transportation.It also enables slow-release nutrients; the quantitative packaging machine fills bags at a rate of dozens per minute, significantly improving factory delivery efficiency. These devices work in conjunction with the disc granulator, ensuring seamless fertilizer production from raw materials to finished product.
Today, global agriculture is striving to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Disc granulation production lines are suitable for both small-scale pilot production and, through expansion, for mass production, perfectly adapting to the needs of diverse businesses.
