How Fertilizer Granulation Plants Work in a Nut Shell
Dosing Systems
Common Types of Dosing Systems
- Volumetric Dosing
How It Works: Measures volume per unit time. Common equipment includes screw feeders, belt feeders, or disc feeders. - Gravimetric (Weighing) Dosing
How It Works: Relies on load cells or weighing platforms to measure materials by weight rather than volume. Fertilizer Production Plant
- Batch Dosing
How It Works: Ingredients are added to a weigh hopper or container in distinct cycles. The system doses each ingredient in a measured batch before moving on to the next step. - Continuous Dosing
How It Works: Materials are metered and blended continuously, often using volumetric or gravimetric feeders in tandem with a conveyor or mixer.
Granulation Drum
Key Benefits of Using a Granulation Drum
Consistent Granule Quality: Rotary Fertilizer Production Plant motion and controlled moisture create uniform granules with the desired nutrient ratios.
Dust Reduction: Converting powders into granules significantly reduces dust in the production area and final product handling.
Improved Product Handling: Granulated fertilizers are easier to store, transport, and spread in the field.
Increased Nutrient Efficiency: Uniform granules dissolve consistently, ensuring plants receive nutrients evenly.
Flexibility in Formulations: Adjusting the drum’s operational parameters allows quick transitions between different formulations or sizes.
Rotary Dryer
How Rotary Dryers Work
Hot Air Flow: A burner or heat source supplies hot air into the dryer. The combustion gases—or another heating medium—flow through the drum either cocurrently or countercurrently with the fertilizer material.
Tumbling & Heat Transfer: As the dryer rotates, internal lifting flights raise the materials, allowing them to cascade through the hot air stream. This maximizes the contact area for efficient heat transfer and evaporation.
Moisture Evaporation: The moisture content in the fertilizer gradually decreases as the granules tumble through the drum.

Sieves
How an Inclined Fertilizer Sieve Works
Granule Infeed: Fertilizer granules flow onto the sieve’s surface from upstream processes such as granulation or drying.
Vibratory/Tumbling Action: The inclined design allows gravity to assist in moving material across the screening mesh, while vibratory or rotary motion helps separate particles by size.
Mesh Separation: Appropriately sized granules pass through the openings, falling onto a collection conveyor or bin. Over- or undersized particles remain on the screen and exit at a different discharge point.
Recycling or Disposal: Oversize lumps and undersized fines can either be recycled back into the production process or directed to waste, depending on your plant’s strategy.
Hammer Mills
Design & Operational Features
Heavy-Duty Construction: Fabricated using durable materials to withstand abrasive fertilizers and continuous operation.
Replaceable Wear Parts: Hammers, screens, and liners are designed for straightforward replacement, extending the mill’s service life.
Customized Hammer Configurations: Different hammer shapes and arrangements can be used to refine the milling action for a given fertilizer type.
Adjustable Rotor Speed: Allows fine-tuning of particle size and throughput to match production requirements.
Safety & Control Systems: Modern units may include sensors, interlocks, and automated controls (PLC integration) to monitor performance and shut down the system if anomalies are detected.
Packing Machines
How Volumetric Packing Machines Work
Material Infeed: The fertilizer—granular, powdered, or a blend—feeds into a hopper or holding bin atop the packing machine.
Volumetric Measurement: A set volume chamber (or series of cups or compartments) dispenses the fertilizer into the container as the machine cycles.
Filling & Sealing: Once the container (e.g., bag, box, or pail) receives the measured volume, it’s sealed or closed, ready for labeling and distribution.
Automation & Control: Modern systems may integrate sensors, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), and user-friendly interfaces, allowing operators to adjust fill volumes and speeds.
