Introduction to BB Fertilizer Production Line

Bulk Blending (BB) fertilizer production lines are specially designed to produce mixed fertilizers with specific nutrient compositions. The process involves mixing several types of granular fertilizers to create a balanced nutrient product tailored to specific agricultural needs.

BB Fertilizer Production Process

Raw Material Feeding

The process begins with the feeding of raw materials, primarily various types of granulated fertilizers such as Urea, DAP, MOP, and fillers. Advanced systems utilize batch feeders with a precision of ±0.5% to ensure the exact volume of each component is used.

Batch Mixing

Once the materials are fed, they are transferred to high-speed mixers. The mixing process lasts between 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the formula. Uniformity of the mix is crucial, with ideal coefficient of variation (CV) set below 5%.

Granulation

Some production lines include a granulation stage where the mixed powders are compacted into larger particles. This stage is optional and depends on customer requirements. The ideal granule size ranges from 2mm to 4mm in diameter.

Packaging and Storage

The final step involves packaging the BB fertilizer into bags (commonly 25kg or 50kg). Modern packaging systems can handle up to 60 bags per minute, ensuring efficiency. These bags are then stored in dry conditions to prevent moisture absorption.

Parametric Analysis

BB fertilizer production lines operate under specific parameters that ensure optimal efficiency and product quality. Key parameters include mixer speed (typically 20-30 rpm), granulation pressure (if applicable, often 15-30 MPa), and moisture content control (maintained at 1-3% for storage stability).
