Introduction

A Water Dispersible Granule (WDG) production line is a specialized system designed for the manufacturing of water dispersible granules. These granules are a type of pesticide formulation that disperse or dissolve quickly in water. The WDG formulation is known for its ease of handling, reduced dustiness, and improved storage stability compared to other formulations like wettable powders.

Components of a WDG Production Line

  • Mixing Unit: Ensures homogenous mixing of active ingredients and fillers.
  • Granulation Equipment: Converts mixed powders into granules.
  • Drying System: Reduces the moisture content of granules to optimal levels.
  • Screening and Sieving Mechanism: Ensures uniform granule size distribution.
  • Packaging Unit: Efficiently packages the final product for distribution.

Process Overview

The WDG production process is divided into several key stages:

  1. Raw material preparation and pre-mixing.
  2. Granulation where the blend is transformed into granules.
  3. Drying to reach the required moisture content, typically <5%.
  4. Screening to ensure granules meet size specifications, often between 0.2mm and 3mm.
  5. Packaging for shipment or sale.

Specific Parameters and Numerical Analysis

Important parameters within the WDG production line include:

  • Mixing Speed: Typically 100-500 RPM, which affects homogeneity.
  • Granulation Rate: Efficiency rates can be measured with a target of >95% of materials converting into granules.
  • Drying Temperature: Set between 60°C to 120°C, depending on material sensitivity.
  • Moisture Content: Final product must maintain <5% moisture for stability.
