Urea Fertilizer Production Line
We offer specialized urea fertilizer production lines focused on granulation technology. Our systems are designed for small to medium-scale operations, with capacities ranging from 1 to 20 tons per hour (approximately 8,000 to 160,000 tons per year), producing premium urea granules with 46% nitrogen content. Utilizing advanced drum or disc granulation methods, our lines ensure uniform, durable granules ideal for agricultural use.
Urea Fertilizer Production Line Definition
A urea fertilizer production line turns ammonia and carbon dioxide into urea melt. This urea melt is then granulated, dried, cooled, screened, and coated (if desired). Finally, it is packed using key equipment like reactors, evaporators, granulators (often fluid bed), dryers, coolers, screens, and packaging machines. This process creates solid, consistent granules for agriculture. Modern lines focus on energy efficiency and sustainability.
Key Features of Our Urea Fertilizer Production Line
- High Nitrogen Content — Delivers 46% nitrogen for superior crop yield enhancement.
- Uniform Granules/Prills — Ensures consistent spreading and dissolution for optimal field performance.
- Energy-Efficient Design — Advanced heat recovery and low-power consumption reduce operational costs.
- Environmental Compliance — Low dust and emission systems with scrubbers for clean production.
- Flexible Configuration — Supports granulation (fluidized bed or drum) or prilling tower processes.
- Automation & Control — PLC-based systems for precise monitoring and minimal labor requirements.
- Scalable & Customizable — Tailored to your raw material availability (ammonia + CO₂) and site conditions.

Urea Fertilizer Production Process
Our urea fertilizer production line follows the proven ammonia-CO₂ synthesis route with efficient finishing:
- Synthesis — Ammonia and carbon dioxide react under high pressure/temperature to form urea.
- Evaporation & Concentration — Urea solution is concentrated to molten urea.
- Finishing:
- Granulation (recommended for superior strength): Fluidized bed or drum granulator with additives for dust control and anti-caking.
- Prilling: Molten urea sprayed in a tower for spherical prills.
- Cooling & Screening — Product cooled and sized for uniformity.
- Coating (Optional) — Anti-caking or slow-release coatings.
- Packaging & Storage — Automated bagging systems.
Urea Fertilizer Production Line Cost
Costs depend on capacity, granulation type, and customization. Based on 2026 market data:
| Capacity (tons/hour) | Estimated Turnkey Cost (USD) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1-5 | $100,000 – $150,000 | Entry-level, disc granulation |
| 5-10 | $150,000 – $350,000 | Mid-range, drum or hybrid |
