- Quality Assurance: Our equipment adheres to international standards, guaranteeing durable and reliable performance.
- Comprehensive Support: From initial consultation to installation and after-sales service, our team is with you every step of the way.
The NPK Fertilizer Production Process
- Batching: Accurate measurement of raw materials using automatic batching machines.
- Crushing: For high-moisture materials, a semi-wet material crusher (e.g., Model SXH-400, capacity 5-8 t/h) is used to pulverize the materials without dewatering.
- Mixing: Thorough blending of materials in high-efficiency mixers, such as the double shafts horizontal mixer (Model SXWJ-1630, capacity 10-15 t/h) for large capacities or disc mixers for smaller areas.
- Granulation: Formation of granules using advanced granulators:
- Double roller extrusion granulator (dry method): Model SXJZ-1T, power 37-45 kW, suitable for producing granules of 3-10 mm diameter.
- Disc granulator: Model SXYZ-500, capacity 0.02-0.05 t/h, ideal for small-scale production.
- Rotary drum granulator (wet method): Model SXZGZ-1660, capacity 5-8 t/h, power 45+15 kW, angle 2°-2.5°, speed 11.5 r/min.
- Drying: Reducing moisture content with rotary dryers to ensure granule stability.
- Cooling: Cooling the granules to prevent caking and prepare them for storage.
- Screening: Separating granules by size using rotary screening machines (e.g., Model SXGS-1030, power 3 kW, capacity 2-3 t/h) or vibrating screen machines to meet quality standards.
- Coating (optional): Applying a protective coating for enhanced durability and nutrient release.
- Packaging: Automatic packaging using single or double bucket automatic packing scales for efficient distribution.
NPK Fertilizer Production Line Cost
The cost of setting up an NPK fertilizer production line varies depending on the scale of production, the type of fertilizer (granular or powder), and the specific equipment required. Below are general cost ranges and examples based on different production capacities:
| Production Scale | Capacity | Cost Range | Example Costs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small-Scale | 1-5 t/h | $10,000-$30,000 | $30,000 for a 3 t/h powder line |
| Medium-Scale | 5-10 t/h | $30,000-$50,000 | $150,000 for a 6 t/h granular line |
| Large-Scale | 10-20 t/h | $50,000-$500,000+ | $400,000 for an 18 t/h line; $500,000 for a 25 t/h line; $600,000 for a 20 t/h line |
Specific Examples
- A 3 t/h NPK fertilizer production line can be set up for approximately $30,000, typically for a powder line with basic equipment.
- A 5 t/h granular line might cost between $30,000 and $50,000, including granulators and other essential machinery.
- For larger scales, such as a 20 t/h granular line, the cost can reach around $600,000, factoring in high-capacity equipment, larger factory spaces, and additional infrastructure like raw material storage and site rental.
Factors Influencing Cost
- Type of Fertilizer: Granular NPK production requires additional equipment (e.g., granulators, dryers, coolers), making it more expensive than powder production.
- Production Capacity: Higher capacities require larger, more advanced equipment, increasing the overall cost.
- Automation and Technology: Automated systems increase initial costs but can reduce labor expenses and improve efficiency.
- Location and Supplier: Costs vary based on the plant’s location and the equipment supplier.
