Horizontal Mixer for Fertilizer Granulation Line - Uniform Dry Powder Blending

Product Overview

Our Horizontal Mixer is engineered specifically for the fertilizer granulation industry, delivering high-efficiency, uniform mixing of various raw materials. Designed to overcome common challenges like uneven blending and clogging, it integrates mixing and preliminary agglomeration to prepare a homogeneous mass, which is crucial for producing high-quality, consistent fertilizer granules. Suitable for both powder-to-powder and liquid-to-powder processes, it handles a wide range of materials, including organic compost, chemical powders, binders, and additives.

Key Features & Advantages

• Superior Mixing Quality: Achieves a high mixing uniformity (over 93% in performance tests) through a powerful dual-motion system. This ensures every fertilizer pellet has a consistent nutrient composition.

• High-Capacity Processing: Designed for industrial-scale productivity, with models offering large batch capacities and continuous operation options to match your production line output.

• Versatile Material Handling: Effectively mixes materials with significant differences in density or particle size, such as light organic matter and dense mineral powders, without segregation.

• Robust and Durable Construction: Built with heavy-duty materials, reinforced shafts, and wear-resistant lining or blades to withstand the abrasive nature of fertilizer raw materials.

• Integrated Process Design: Can be equipped with spray nozzles for liquid binder addition, heating/cooling jackets for temperature control, and quick-discharge valves for efficient operation.

Technical Specifications

Working Principle

The mixer creates a highly turbulent, three-dimensional movement of material inside its horizontal chamber:

1. Dual-Axis Agitation: Two shafts equipped with specially angled paddles or spiral ribbons rotate, often in opposite directions.

2. Material Movement: This action lifts, spreads, and radially throws the materials. An optional high-speed chopper blade can further break down lumps and promote liquid dispersion.

3. Homogenization: Particles continuously move in axial, radial, and circular patterns. This complex flow quickly eliminates gradients in composition, moisture, or particle size, creating a perfectly uniform mix ideal for downstream granulation.

Applications in Fertilizer Industry

This machine is a versatile core component for various fertilizer production lines:

• Raw Material Blending: Uniformly mixing base materials like ammonium chloride, phosphate rock powder, and potassium sulfate.

• Organic Fertilizer Production: Homogenizing compost, manure, straw (with shredding action), and microbial agents.

• Granulation Premix Preparation: Blending fine powders with liquid binders or slurries to form a moist agglomerate ready for disc or drum granulation.

• Coating and Additive Incorporation: Evenly distributing coatings, micronutrients, or functional additives onto fertilizer granules.
