When the process of powdered organic fertilizer and granular organic fertilizer is the same, the substance content is the same, only the form is different. Some people may find that the price difference between powdered organic fertilizer equipment and granular organic fertilizer during inquiries is one or more times. Below, I can introduce to you the differences in production processes and equipment between powdered and granular organic fertilizers.
The main machinery and equipment for organic fertilizers are fermentation equipment and production equipment. Fermentation equipment is a common equipment required for both powdered and granular organic fertilizers. When specifying the standards for organic fertilizers, there are corresponding regulations for harmful substances, roundworm egg mortality rate, and Escherichia coli indicators in organic fertilizers. Therefore, if you want to produce organic fertilizer, it needs to undergo fermentation treatment. During the fermentation process, microorganisms require sufficient oxygen and the intervention of flipping equipment is necessary.
The main production equipment for powdered organic fertilizer includes feeding equipment, conveying equipment, crushing equipment, screening equipment, and packaging equipment. According to different processes, automatic batching system equipment and mixing equipment may also be required. Overall, the production of powdered organic fertilizers mainly relies on two main equipment: fermentation and crushing. The production equipment for granular organic fertilizer is much more complex. In addition to the equipment required for powder, granulation equipment, particle shaping equipment, drying equipment, cooling equipment, screening equipment, dust removal equipment, drying equipment or building facilities are needed. According to different process requirements, mixing equipment, automatic batching system, coating equipment, and automatic palletizing equipment may also be required.
From the above, it can be seen that powdered organic fertilizer is mainly produced by crushing equipment, combined with feeding, conveying, screening, packaging equipment and control systems. On the basis of producing powdered organic fertilizer, granular organic fertilizer also requires a series of granulation equipment, particle shaping equipment, drying and cooling equipment, and environmentally friendly dust removal equipment. Compared to the production equipment for powdered organic fertilizers, the equipment cost for granular organic fertilizers is higher, and the investment cost will also be greater. However, the finished product price of granular organic fertilizer is correspondingly higher than that of powdered organic fertilizer.
