What is a compound fertilizer production line?
The compound fertilizer production line refers to the workflow that combines some compound fertilizer facilities orderly to produce chemical fertilizer. Reasonable arrangement of the fertilizer equipment can make your fertilizer production line more efficient. Shunxin compound fertilizer production lines are compact, scientific and reasonable. Compound fertilizer production lines are mainly pellet fertilizer production lines. What’s more, the core machine of a chemical pellet fertilizer production line is the fertilizer granulator, and the granulation rate of Shunxin fertilizer granulators is above 90%.
If you choose to buy a fertilizer production line from Shunxin Heavy Industry, we can also help you to plan your factory site. There are three types of common compound fertilizer production lines: urea fertilizer production line, triple superphosphate fertilizer production line and phosphate fertilizer production line.
Three different types of fertilizer production line solutions from Shunxin
The main components of compound fertilizer are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, so people also call a compound fertilizer production line as a NPK fertilizer production line sometimes. Some raw materials of compound fertilizer are sticky, and the other are not that sticky. Therefore, if you want to use some less sticky raw materials to make compound pellet fertilizer, you should and some liquid binder in your raw materials. The following are three different fertilizer production lines suggested by Shunxin Heavy Industry.
Urea fertilizer production line
The nitrogen content of urea is very high, so urea is one of the common raw materials in compound fertilizer industry. In general, Shunxin suggests you should adopt roller compactors to make compound pellet fertilizer in your urea fertilizer production line. The pellet fertilizer made by double roller granulators has the characters of high solidity. What’s more, by employing roller compactors, you don’t need to equip any drying or cooling machines in the fertilizer production line. In this way, you can save s lot of spending.
Phosphate fertilizer production line
If you plan to use phosphate as raw material to produce chemical fertilizer, you can assemble disc granulators in your fertilizer production line. Disc pan granulators require that the moisture content of the raw material should range from 25% to 30%. If your raw material is too dry, you can add some liquid binder in it.
Triple superphosphate fertilizer production line
If triple superphosphate is your raw material, and you want to have a large output production line like 200000 tons per year fertilizer production line. Shunxin recommends you employ a roller compactor and a rotary drum granulator in your fertilizer producing line. The combination of these two granulators will greatly improve the production efficiency of the whole fertilizer production line.

Motor Speed: 1200(r/min)
Power: 18.5kw
Weight: 1100kg
Overall Size: 1800*1300*1160mm
Batching process
In the batching process, different raw materials will be batched in appropriate proportion. You need an automatic batching machine or a static batching machine for this process. Honestly, automatic batching machines are more convenient and efficient than static batching machines, but they also cost a little more. You can make a choice according to your needs.
Mixing process
When the raw materials are well-proportioned, they will go through the mixing process next. The purpose of mixing raw materials is to make the compound fertilizer uniform. Notice: This is an inevitable process for all pellet fertilizer production lines.
Granulating process
As for compound pellet fertilizer making, granulating process is the key process. The granulation methods include wet granulation and dry granulation. Compound disc granulators and rotary drum granulators adopt wet granulation method while compound compactor granulators adopt dry granulation method.

Drying process
The compound pellet fertilizer produced in the way of wet granulation needs to go through the drying process. The moisture content of the raw material ranges is a little high. In order to make the compound pellet fertilizer qualified, you should process it in the Shunxin fertilizer drying machine.
Cooling process
The dried pellet fertilizer is hot. Through the fertilizer cooling machine, the pellet fertilizer’s temperature will decrease to the room temperature.
Screening process
The qualified and unqualified compound pellet fertilizer should be separated. At this time, we could use screening machines to help the work. The qualified pellet fertilizer will be conveyed to the next procedure, and the unqualified pellet will be re-granulated.
Coating process
The aim of the coating process is to cover a “protective layer” on the surface of the compound pellet fertilizer. In general, the protective layer is some powder or grease. With this “protective layer”, the finished compound pellet fertilizer will be lustrous and antisticking.

Packing process
The last process of the whole compound pellet fertilizer production line is packing process. You need an automatic packing scale in this process. Shunxin packing scale is very precise and its accuracy can reach 2‰.
For your information, if you use a compactor granulators in your fertilizer production line, you do not need to prepare drying and cooling machines. The compound pellet fertilizer made by a double roller granulator can be coated directly, because the pellet fertilizer is made from fairly dry material.
Raw materials needed for compound fertilizer making
There are a lot of raw materials of compound fertilizer production lines. According to chemical elements that the raw material contains, we could make a classification of the raw materials.
Nitrogen source: ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride, sodium nitrate, calcium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, urea…
Phosphorus source: calcium superphosphate, calcium magnesium phosphate, triple suprphosphate, powdered rock phosphate…
Potassium source: potassium chaloride, potassium sulphate, kainite, monopotassium phosphate(MKP)…
Above all, there are various materials for making compound fertilizers. And sometimes, in order to make the compound fertilizer more nutritious, you can add some bentonite into the materials. For your information, we also has equipment for you to make bentonite pellets. In the following, Shunxin will show you the fertilizer facilities used in a compound fertilizer producing line.
