Structural analysis of fertilizer pellet making machine

A fertilizer pellet making machine is a molding machine that can make materials into specific shapes. The wet tooth fertilizer pellet making machine uses the mechanical stirring force of high-speed rotation and the resulting aerodynamic force to continuously realize the process of mixing, granulation, spheroidization, and densification of fine powder materials in the machine, so as to achieve the purpose of granulation.

This fertilizer pellet making machine granulation method makes the granulation rate higher, the granules are more beautiful, and at the same time saves energy and is highly energy-efficient.

1. Structural analysis of fertilizer pellet making machine

  • The main structure of the fertilizer pellet making machine is an inclined rotating cylinder, and the drive can be constant speed or variable speed. When the liquid content of the feed powder is suitable, agglomeration occurs and tumbles in the drum.
  • The drum has a certain slope, and the included angle between its axis and the horizontal is less than 10º, which can help the material to roll along the length of the drum, and a baffle ring is often installed at the feeding end to prevent the material from flowing back.
  •  A retaining ring can also be installed at the discharge end to increase the thickness of the material layer and prolong the residence time in the main drum. Sometimes the cylindrical screen is integrated with the rotating drum to form a product discharge port.
  • The feeding of the fertilizer pellet making machine is composed of fresh material and circulating material, and the feeding system can adopt belt conveyor, chute pipeline or other similar equipment. The binding liquid is injected either before the solid material enters the rotary cylinder, or immediately after the solids enter the rotary cylinder.
  • Like the disc fertilizer pellet making machine, the inner surface structure of the drum plays an important role in whether the material can react well in the drum. Inside the steel drum, general shirts have heat-expandable metal.
  •  The function of various internal scrapers is to maintain a certain thickness of the material on the inner surface of the drum, so that the material layer is uniform, and it is convenient for the material to roll and turn normally in the drum. Rubber baffles and liners as well as external shocks are used to prevent build-up during fertilizer granulation.

2. Moisture control of fertilizer pellet making machine

In the drum granulation, the coarsening of the pellets is mainly based on the cladding type, so the amount of material circulation should be larger, so this can provide a coarser core for the cladding process, and the water injection amount should be smaller, so that The water absorption of the core can be made less.

When granulating by bonding or “aggregation”, the material marriage is smaller than it should be because the material in the drum is mainly composed of fresh raw materials with small particle size and mutual bonding. The liquid ratio required for bonding should be large, because the gaps between the mutually bonded fine powder particles need to be filled with water.

Due to the deepening of the understanding of the granulation process, some suitable monitoring instruments have been developed, so that it is possible to simulate and automate the computer control of the granulation process.

3. Comparison of granulation systems

In order to make the right choice between the disc granulation system and the drum granulation system, a quantitative comparison of the two methods was made.

In the same workshop, when the fertilizer pellet making machine granulation process, process raw materials and monitoring conditions are the same, two processes are used for granulation at the same time, and the following conclusions are drawn from the comparison:

① The capital construction investment of the two fertilizer pellet making machine processes is roughly equal;

②The construction space of the disc granulation process is about 10% less;

③ The physical labor of the two processes is approximately equal;

④ The power consumption of the disc granulation system is high;

⑤ The noise of the disc granulation system is low;

⑥ The disc fertilizer pellet making machine needs less product and smaller equipment;

⑦ From the point of view of product quality, the two processes are not different.

From the perspective of the cost of granulation, combining the above four items, the disc granulation system is only 2% lower than the drum granulation system. Such a small difference prevents us from making a simple choice between the two.

According to the actual production needs, you can refer to the following methods to choose:

  • The disc fertilizer pellet making machine has the characteristics of automatic classification, small footprint, low cost, zero operation, and easy observation. Therefore, it can be used to guide the granulation process for a wide variety of material types with precise agglomerates.
  • Drum granulation has the characteristics of large production capacity, long logistics retention time, and multiple simultaneous processes. Therefore, it is suitable for the granulation of materials that are not easy to be granulated, and is suitable for mass production.

4. What does fertilizer pellet making machine line consist of?
