The Bulgarian company planned to expand the production of NPK and switch to a more stable quality of granules. The customer set a budget 300 000 dollars, as well as requirements for productivity and recipe control. After a thorough analysis of the market and technical proposals, the client chose our solution. This project is based on a complex fertilizer granulation line 8-10 subject. We offered a solution, which includes dynamic dosing, Drum granulator 2080, as well as drying and cooling units, as well as other equipment and design solutions. This solution makes it possible to achieve the target production volume of finished pellets while reducing the share of recycled materials. If you have similar needs in NPK production lines, contact us to find solutions.
Why a complex fertilizer granulation line? 8-10 t/h with dynamic dosing is important for a stable NPK formula and cost?
The customer said, that the company works with several brands of NPK. The company changes the recipe frequently. Therefore, the customer placed emphasis on accuracy and repeatability. We included in dynamic dosing kit, because it maintains a stable flow of raw materials. The system also makes it easier to control the nitrogen ratio, phosphorus and potassium. The operator receives clear data, and the technologist quickly records deviations. At the same time, the company reduces the risk of overuse of expensive components. The company specifically noted the convenience of switching between recipes.
Besides, dynamic feeding helps equalize the load on the granulation. This reduces peak fluctuations. As a result, the line better maintains the granulometric composition. The customer received more predictable quality. The company also simplified batch accounting and planning of raw material purchases. We have agreed on control points for humidity and the proportion of fines. Then the customer’s technologist linked the parameters to internal standards. This approach provided the basis for stable costs and transparent shift KPIs.
What are the advantages of a drum granulator? 2080 in a project for granulation of complex fertilizers 8–10 t/h for a Bulgarian enterprise?
The customer was looking for equipment, which gives stable granule formation and allows different types of raw materials. That's why we laid Drum granulator 2080. This unit provides continuous operation, and the enterprise receives a stable flow of product. The granulator also supports adjustment of speed and filling. This helps to adapt to seasonal changes in raw materials.. Besides, drum principle simplifies maintenance. Operations performs inspection and cleaning faster.
The company separately checked the requirements for the granule. The company expected marketable roundness and strength. Therefore, together with the customer, we clarified the target fraction range and the acceptable percentage of crumbs. Then we linked the settings to the customer’s real materials. The project includes a complex fertilizer granulation line 8-10 t/h received a balance in productivity and quality. The customer also received smoother operation of subsequent units. When the granule is formed stably, tumble dryer works more predictably. This affects fuel consumption and overall efficiency. Besides, the company reduces the share of returnable product. This effect improves logistics within the workshop and reduces wear and tear on vehicles..
How drying and cooling units help produce commercial granules and reduce caking in the warehouse with a productivity of 8–10 t/h?
The customer pointed out the problem of caking and the risk of loss of quality during storage. Therefore the project included drying and cooling as mandatory steps. Drying brings the moisture content of the granule to a manageable level. Refrigeration then reduces the temperature of the product before packaging and warehousing.
These two processes work together, Therefore, the company receives a more stable bulk density and less dust. The customer also receives more reliable operation of sieves and transport equipment. With the correct humidity, the granule tolerates movement better. Besides, cooled product collects less condensation. This is especially important when the temperature in the warehouse fluctuates. As part of the project, a complex fertilizer granulation line 8-10 t/h received a clear control scheme. The customer’s technologist controls the humidity after drying and the temperature after cooling. The quality service controls strength and abrasion. Next, the company adjusts the regime according to the season and batch of raw materials.. This approach reduces complaints and simplifies shipment. It also gives more predictable storage performance. The customer company noted, that the presentation of the granules has improved. The company received more confident operation during peak sales months.
