Traditional crafts

Traditional processes usually use a simple mixing method to physically mix the various ingredients together. The main advantages of this method are low cost, simple equipment requirements, and suitability for small and medium-sized production enterprises. However, traditional processes are slightly inferior in terms of nutrient uniformity and fertilizer efficiency, because physical mixing of the ingredients makes it difficult to ensure uniform distribution of nutrients in each fertilizer particle.

Production Process

1. Raw material procurement: Purchase single fertilizer raw materials such as nitrogen fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer and potash fertilizer.

2. Raw material mixing: Mix different raw materials evenly through mechanical equipment.

3. Granulation: The mixed raw materials are passed through granulation equipment to form granular fertilizer.

4. Packaging: Weighing, packaging and storing the products.

Pros and Cons

Advantages: simple operation, low cost, suitable for small-scale production.

Disadvantages: Nutrient distribution is not uniform enough and fertilization effect is unstable.

Modern technology

Modern technology uses chemical reactions and high-tech equipment, such as spray granulation and melting technology, to ensure that each fertilizer particle has uniform nutrients and improve nutrient utilization. Although the production cost is high, the product quality and fertilizer efficiency are more stable.

Production Process

1. Raw material processing: Pre-process the raw materials to ensure high purity.

2. Chemical reaction: Use chemical reaction to convert raw materials into compound fertilizer components.

3. Spray granulation: Liquid or slurry composite materials are formed into particles through spray granulation technology.

4. Cooling and Drying: Quickly cool and dry the particles to bring them to their best condition.

5. Packaging: Weighing, packaging and storing the products.

Pros and Cons

Advantages: Uniform nutrient distribution, good fertilizer efficiency, suitable for large-scale production.

Disadvantages: high production cost and large equipment investment.

Comparison of environmental impact

Compared with traditional processes, modern processes are superior in terms of environmental protection. Modern processes can more finely control waste emissions and energy consumption during the production process, thereby reducing environmental pollution. In addition, uniform nutrient distribution and high-efficiency fertilizers can reduce nutrient accumulation and pollution in the soil and water caused by excessive fertilization.

Choose the right process

Taking into account the economic cost and the use effect, if it is a small-scale production or the user has a limited budget, the traditional process can be chosen; while for large-scale production enterprises that pursue high-efficiency and high-quality fertilizer effects, modern technology is undoubtedly the better choice.

No matter which process is chosen, a comprehensive evaluation should be conducted based on actual needs and environmental conditions to achieve the best results. I hope that through the comparison in this article, you can have a clearer understanding of the production process of compound fertilizers and make the most suitable choice for you!
