What should I do if the fertilizer particles processed by the fertilizer granulator are not round?

The principle of fertilizer granulator granulation is the process of material layer by layer wrapping, which requires a core. With a core, particles have a certain strength matrix, and particles are less prone to deformation. If all of the particles are produced with new materials, no returns or very little returns, and there is no core, the liquid phase will increase when encountering high temperatures, making the particles appear particularly soft. In addition, the internal copying board of the equipment will copy the particles to the top and drop them vertically, causing the originally round particles to fall into a round and flat shape. To change this situation, first lower the temperature of the dryer to reduce the solubility of the material; The second is that there must be enough in the return volume Ф 1-2 mm small particles.

If the formula is not reasonable, excessive use of viscous fillers can also cause particles to be out of round. When using PVC lining inside the fertilizer granulator, each shift must shovel all the accumulated materials inside (tools such as shovels cannot damage the smooth surface), and adjust the tilt angle to the appropriate level. The smoothness and sphericity of the product are still good. The roundness of particles is a quality indicator that every factory attaches great importance to. In the production process, the more round the particles are made, the higher the output, so it is also higher. Therefore, most manufacturers consider the roundness of their own products as a key content of technical research and an important indicator of measuring the technical level of a complex factory.

The formation process of high concentration composite fertilizer particles is as follows: initially, small particles with a diameter of 1~2mm in the returned material are used as the core. Under the conditions of 60~650C temperature and appropriate liquid phase, under the rolling of the powder material and mechanical power, the particles are wrapped layer by layer to form soft particles with a diameter of 2~4mm. Then, the moisture of the material gradually evaporates in the dryer, and the soft particles gradually solidify, forming normal particles with a certain strength.

The liquid phase exceeds the standard, and the powder content is low during the granulation process of the fertilizer granulator. The particles lack a flat and filling powder material during rolling. Therefore, the moisture inside the granulator should be controlled to be dry, as long as it causes Ф 1-2mm particles are recommended and should not cause damage Ф 2-4mm qualified particles. Due to the excessive liquid phase, there is material bonding and large particles on the lifting plate and cylinder wall inside the dryer. Due to the lack of smooth conditions in the dryer, the particles will be irregular.

A small amount of finished products and excessively high drying temperature can also cause particle breakage and the formation of irregular particles.
