Why is the production capacity in the fertilizer production line not up to expectations

2025/03/17

In the operation of the fertilizer production line, many companies will encounter production capacity that is not up to expectations. This not only affects production efficiency, but also may lead to higher costs, order delays, and even affect market competitiveness. Especially in NPK fertilizer production lines, the reasons for insufficient capacity are usually related to factors such as equipment, process and raw materials. Here are the three main reasons and the corresponding optimization suggestions.

1. The device running efficiency is low

The core equipment of the production line, such as the fertilizer granulator, if the operating state is unstable or inefficient, it will directly affect the overall production capacity. For example, pelletizer mold wear, speed mismatch, discharge port blockage and other problems will reduce production. The solution is to check the equipment regularly, replace the wearing parts in time, and adjust the operating parameters of the pelletizer according to the production needs to ensure the best working condition of the equipment.

2. The quality and ratio of raw materials are unreasonable

Raw material is an important factor affecting production efficiency. If the water content of the raw material is too high or too low, or the granularity is not uniform, it will affect the granulation effect, resulting in a decrease in output. In addition, improper ratio may cause problems of caking, adhesion or difficult molding. Therefore, before production, the moisture and granularity of raw materials should be strictly controlled, and the formula should be optimized to ensure that the material is suitable for the operation requirements of the granulator.

3. The production process is not well connected

The NPK fertilizer production line consists of several stages, including crushing, mixing, granulation, drying, screening and packaging. If the connection between the links is not smooth, the material speed is too slow, the drying time is too long or the screening is not thorough, it will cause the efficiency of the production line to be reduced. The optimization method is to achieve the accurate coordination of various equipment through the automatic control system, and rationally arrange the process flow, reduce the waiting time, and improve the overall production efficiency.
