The difference in the selection of organic fertilizer granulator models lies in the selection of appropriate granulation methods according to the use requirements of materials. This is just a big general term. There are subdivisions and branches under it. It is mainly divided into dry method and wet method:
Dry process mainly refers to products with relatively low water content. Generally, water content below 10% is a zero limit. (There are also few materials that can reach 16%, for example, some materials only carry crystal water.) Most of the particles produced by dry granulation are irregular particles (for example, ordinary granular potassium fertilizer) or the more common shape is similar to small gravel. With the current industrial upgrading and increasingly strict environmental protection requirements in China, many chemicals and building materials need granulation.
The main index of wet granulation is the material with a water content of more than 20%. There are various equipment and methods for wet granulation. For example, disc granulation, drum granulation and spiral granulation have been carried forward many years ago, and have been greatly improved by increasing the use environment and processing requirements of different materials. For example, the particle size of relatively popular organic fertilizers over the years ranges from 1mm to 6mm. These methods were adopted.
Compared with wet granulation, dry granulation in organic fertilizer granulator consumes less energy, is more environmentally friendly, does not require drying, does not add water and binder, and does not change the properties of materials; Compared with wet granulation, these are also several advantages of dry granulation. It is more suitable for industrial production.
In another case, some materials require relatively small particle sizes. Products between dozens of meshes and 100 meshes can also be reduced by airflow, spray and rapid drying.
