The new fertilizer granulator, with its unique working principle, occupies a place in the field of fertilizer granulation, bringing new ideas and methods to fertilizer production.
The new fertilizer granulator mainly consists of a motor, a rotating disc, a nozzle, a feeding system, and a discharging system. The motor drives the rotating disc to rotate at high speed.
Fertilizer raw materials are transported to the center position of the rotating disc through the feeding system. When the raw material reaches the high-speed rotating disk, it rapidly spreads towards the edge of the rotating disk under the action of centrifugal force.
At the same time, the nozzle sprays adhesive or moisture onto the moving material. The adhesive binds the material particles together, and as the material moves towards the edge, these bonded particles gradually form spherical particles under the action of centrifugal force and their own gravity.
At the edge of the rotating disc, there is a special device. When the particles reach a certain size and weight, they will detach from the rotating disc and be discharged through the discharge system to complete the granulation process.
The new fertilizer granulator has unique advantages. It can produce fertilizer particles with regular and approximately spherical shapes, which have good dispersibility and solubility in soil and are beneficial for crops to absorb nutrients. Moreover, the granulation process of the equipment is relatively fast and the production efficiency is high.
However, the new fertilizer granulator also faces some challenges. It has strict requirements for the fluidity and adhesion of raw materials. If the flowability of the raw materials is poor, they may not be evenly dispersed on the rotating disk; Inappropriate adhesion can affect the molding effect of particles. In addition, the high-speed rotation of the equipment generates significant centrifugal force, which places high demands on the structural strength and stability of the equipment, requiring regular maintenance and inspection.
Despite some challenges, the new fertilizer granulator provides a differentiated option for fertilizer production enterprises with its unique granulation principle and advantages. In the pursuit of high-quality and special shaped fertilizer granules, it plays an important role in promoting the diversified development of fertilizer granulation technology.
