How to Extend the Service Life of Organic Fertilizer Granulator?

The most commonly used and most important equipment in a complete organic fertilizer production line is the organic fertilizer granulator. As we all know, the equipment has its own service life, but some people can use the same equipment for many years, but some People can’t use it for a long time, mainly because everyone has different operating methods. More importantly, they don’t pay attention to the maintenance of equipment. So how should the organic fertilizer granulator be maintained?

The operator should pay attention to regularly check the components that are easily worn out in the structure, and observe whether the degree of wear is not serious or very serious. If it belongs to the latter, it should be replaced immediately to prevent accidents caused by persistent use.
As for the plane of the bottom frame where the movable device is placed, pay attention to maintaining sanitation and remove dust and other materials in time to prevent the movable bearing from moving smoothly on the bottom frame when the pelletizer equipment encounters unbreakable materials, which may cause serious accidents.

During the operation of the organic fertilizer granulation equipment, it is found that, like some newly installed wheel tyres, it is very easy to loosen, so it needs to be checked frequently. In addition, once the bearing oil temperature is found to rise too fast, or there is an abnormal impact sound from the rotating gear, the power should be cut off immediately, and the reason should be checked and then solved in detail.

Good lubricating oil is very helpful to bearing life. Therefore, the operator must ensure that the injected lubricating oil is clean and has good sealing performance.

As long as you can always adhere to the above four points, you can greatly increase the service life of your pelletizing equipment, and the performance of the equipment can always be stable and efficient.

How Does the Organic Fertilizer Production Line Make Organic Fertilizer into Pellets?

With the development of environmental protection and organic agriculture, the use of organic wastes to produce organic fertilizers through biological fermentation has been rapidly developed, making the treatment of organic wastes harmless and resourceful. However, most of the organic fertilizer obtained by biological fermentation is coarse powder or irregular small lumps, which is very inconvenient to use, and is particularly unfavorable for large-area machine sowing. Making the coarse powder or irregular small pieces of organic fertilizer obtained by biological fermentation into spherical granular organic fertilizer is the key to solving the problem of large-scale popularization and use of organic fertilizer.

FPC will explain to you how the organic fertilizer production line makes organic fertilizer into pellets. The coarse powder or irregular small pieces of organic fertilizer after biological fermentation are characterized by high water content (30-40%) and looseness ( The bulk density is 0.3～0.4t/m3), and the fiber is much. The existing organic fertilizer in the form of coarse powder or irregular small pieces after biological fermentation is made into spherical granular organic fertilizer.

Some manufacturers use traditional discs or drums to granulate, and need to dry coarse powder or irregular small pieces of organic fertilizer (moisture content <15%) and crush them into very fine powder (greater than 100 mesh) . Then add the binder and inorganic fertilizer, and the addition amount of the binder and inorganic fertilizer in the organic fertilizer cannot be greater than 30%. Although this method can be made into spherical particles, the organic fertilizer in the processing process will be crushed by sufficient precipitation, then be granulated by adding water and then dried, repeated many times, so the processing cost is quite high. Moreover, due to the low density of organic fertilizer, the particle strength is low, which is not conducive to storage, transportation, and machine seeding.

There are also some manufacturers who first dry coarse powder or irregular small pieces of organic fertilizer until the moisture content is only 20-25%. Then, a flat die extrusion granulator or a pair-roll extrusion granulator is used to squeeze the dried organic fertilizer into columnar or oblate spherical particles. Although this method is more convenient to use, the fluidity is still not good, it is not suitable for machine broadcast, and the appearance is poor and the appearance is not good.

Some manufacturers first use flat die extrusion granulatorto squeeze the coarse powder or irregular small pieces of organic fertilizer into short columnar particles (due to high water content and high fiber content, columnar particles also have a certain degree of plasticity). Then, it is polished to form spherical particles, and then the spherical particles are dried, cooled and sieved to obtain qualified particles. In this method, the raw materials do not need to be processed, the moisture sequence is reduced in steps, and the production cost is greatly reduced. However, this method also has some fatal weaknesses, that is, organic fertilizer is easy to arch, easy to block and easy to bond equipment, and at the same time, the output is small and the power consumption of the extrusion process is high.

Therefore, in summary, the organic fertilizer industry urgently needs to introduce a large-yield, low-energy compression granulating equipment to overcome the easy arching, easy blocking, easy bonding equipment, and small output of the traditional granulator. And the shortcomings of high power consumption in the extrusion process.

What Is the Difference Between Dry Granulation and Wet Granulation?

We often receive calls from many customers to inquire about matters related to the organic fertilizer granulator, and it is difficult for many customers to distinguish what kind of granulation method they need. The difference of the granulation method is to choose the corresponding suitable granulation method according to the use requirements of the material. It is mainly divided into two categories: dry method and wet method:

Dry granulation

Mainly refers to products with relatively low moisture content. Generally, moisture content below 10% is a zero boundary value. (There are also very few materials that can reach 16%, such as some materials that only contain crystal water.) Dry granulation produces mostly irregular particles (such as common granular potash fertilizer) or, more generally speaking, like small gravel The sub-shapes are similar. With the current domestic industrial upgrading and environmental protection requirements becoming more and more stringent, many chemical and building materials powders need to be made into particles.

Wet granulation

There are also many equipment and methods in wet granulation for materials whose main indicator moisture is above 20%. Such as: plate granulation, roller granulation, screw granulation. The granulation methods used many years ago have been continued. After increasing the use environment and processing requirements of different materials, the continuous improvement has also made considerable progress. For example, the relatively popular organic fertilizer granulation in recent years, the particle size of these particles is between 1mm-6mm, and the above methods are used.

In the organic fertilizer granulator, dry granulation has lower energy consumption than wet granulation and is more environmentally friendly. It does not need to be dried, and does not add water and binder, so the material properties will not be changed. This is also the difference between dry granulation and wet granulation. Dry granulator machine is more suitable for industrialized mass production.

There is also a case that some materials require relatively small particle size, and products between tens of mesh and 100 mesh can also be reduced by airflow, spray, and flash drying.

Characteristics And Price of the Roller Extrusion Granulator

The roller extrusion granulator machine is the main equipment for making compound fertilizer, compound fertilizer and organic fertilizer compound fertilizer. It adopts the normal temperature extrusion process to extrude various raw materials at one time, with high ball formation rate and very little return material, so it is widely used. Moreover, the roller granulation equipment has reasonable design, simple operation, convenient maintenance, and stable operation. The most important thing is that its investment cost is the lowest compared to other pelletizers. The roller extrusion granulator is also suitable for a wide range of materials. It can not only process materials in the dry powder state such as ammonium chloride, urea, and ammonium phosphate, but also process other raw materials for organic fertilizer machines. It has a significant effect in reducing production costs and efficiency. And the price of such a practical double-roller extrusion granulator is about several thousand dollars.
