What is the process of biofertilizer production?

The production of bio-organic fertilizers requires multiple scientific processes, ensuring meticulous control from raw materials to finished product, ultimately providing high-quality nutrients for agriculture.

Production begins with raw material pretreatment. Workers screen organic waste, such as livestock and poultry manure and crop straw, first remove metal impurities through magnetic separation, and then crush the materials into 2-5 mm particles. The raw materials are then blended to a carbon-to-nitrogen ratio of 25:1 and the moisture content is adjusted to 55%-60%, creating optimal conditions for microbial growth and preventing impurities and excessive moisture from affecting subsequent processes.

Microbial fermentation is the core step. The mixed raw materials are fed into fermentation tanks and inoculated with beneficial bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis. Compost turning machines turn the materials once or twice daily, maintaining a temperature of 55-65°C. This temperature kills insect eggs and pathogens while promoting the decomposition of organic matter. After 15-20 days, the materials mature to a dark brown color, exuding an earthy fragrance, with an organic matter conversion rate exceeding 60%.

Then they enter the advanced processing stage. The composted material is screened to remove impurities, and trace elements are added as needed. It is then pelletized in a granulator (such as a rotary drum granulator or disc granulator). The material then enters the drying stage, using a drum fertilizer dryer. Hot air at 70-80°C fully contacts the pellets within the drum. Online monitoring controls the moisture content to 12%-15%, preventing both clumping and mold growth and preventing the heat from killing beneficial bacteria. After drying, the pellets reach a temperature of 50-60°C and are immediately cooled. A drum fertilizer cooler cools the pellets with ambient air for 15-20 minutes, cooling the temperature to 25-30°C. The pellets are then screened to ensure pellet integrity and bacterial activity.

Finally, packaging and inspection are performed. Automatic quantitative packaging machines are used to precisely package the pellets in 25kg and 50kg bags, with an accuracy of ±0.2kg. Polypropylene woven bags lined with polyethylene film are used for both waterproof and breathable properties. After packaging, information such as the product name, organic matter content, viable bacterial count, and production date is clearly printed. Sampling is then conducted to test key indicators, and only those meeting standards are shipped.

From the scientific treatment of organic waste to the precise control of temperature, humidity, and formulation at every step, the bio-organic fertilizer production line not only recycles resources but also revitalizes the soil in a green and efficient manner. It reduces the environmental burden of chemical fertilizers while improving crop quality, laying a solid foundation for promoting sustainable agricultural development and ensuring food security, becoming a vital link between ecological protection and agricultural production.

How to choose fertilizer granulator for NPK fertilizer manufacturers

图片
  NPK fertilizer (i.e. nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium compound fertilizer) manufacturers should consider multiple aspects when choosing a   fertilizer granulator   to ensure that the selected equipment can meet production needs while achieving efficient and economical operation. Here are some key selection points: 1. Production objectives and specifications Please specify the type (such as powder or granular), yield, particle size, and shape requirements of the NPK fertilizer you wish to produce. Consider the possibility of future expansion and reserve a certain amount of production capacity surplus. 2. Granulation technology Extrusion granulation: suitable for low humidity materials, easy to operate, widely applicable. Rotating disc granulation: The produced particles are relatively uniform and suitable for large-scale production. Spray granulation: suitable for materials with good solubility and fine particles. Choose the most suitable granulation method based on your ...

The difference between rotary drum granulator and counter roll extrusion granulator

图片
  Both   rotary drum granulators   and roller extrusion granulators have their own advantages in fertilizer production, and they have significant differences in multiple dimensions. In terms of working principle, the  rotary drum granulator  uses a rotating drum to lift up the material internally. Under the action of centrifugal force, friction force, and gravity, the material circulates and the binder is sprayed to form the particles. The counter roll extrusion granulator uses a pair of rotating rollers to squeeze the material into the concave mold on the surface of the rollers, without the need for adhesive (which can be added in some cases). In terms of particle characteristics, the shape of the particles produced by the rotary drum granulator is relatively regular, mostly approximately spherical or elliptical, and the surface of the particles is relatively smooth. Due to the sufficient rolling of the material inside the drum, the internal structure of the pa...

How to use a disc granulator to process fertilizers in a fertilizer production line

图片
  In the fertilizer production line, the   disc granulator   is like a skilled "shaper", endowing fertilizers with ideal shapes. After various fertilizer ingredients are mixed according to precise formulas, they enter the  disc granulator . The machine starts and the disc begins to slowly rotate. Under the clever action of centrifugal force, frictional force, and gravity, materials gradually gather at the edge of the disc. At first, these materials were just a loose collection, but as the disk continued to rotate, the materials kept rolling, and newly added materials continued to adhere to existing small particles, like rolling snowballs, gradually growing and forming. The fertilizer particles produced by the  disc granulator  have regular shapes, mostly round spherical shapes. This perfect spherical particle has obvious advantages in the fertilization process, as it can be more evenly dispersed in the soil, ensuring a more balanced absorption of nutrients ...
