Fertilizer mixers are key for making organic and compound fertilizers. How well they mix directly affects the quality and consistency of the final product. To get efficient mixing and steady production, your materials need to meet these conditions:
1.Right Particle Size
The mixer needs materials to be a suitable size. Particles that are too big (like over 50mm) won’t mix evenly and can even damage the mixing blades. Stuff that’s too fine creates dust, which also messes up the mix.
2.Right Moisture Level
How wet the stuff is affects how sticky or runny it is in the fertilizer mixer. Too much water (like over 40%) makes lumps that slow mixing down. Too little (under 20%) means more dust and worse mixing.
3.Minimal Hard Garbage
Things like rocks, metal bits, or plastic can break the mixer inside or cause breakdowns. Run your material through a screen or magnetic separator first to clean it out.
4.Balanced Recipe
Different fertilizer ingredients have different weights and flow differently. If the amounts vary too much, they won’t blend properly. Get your ingredient ratios right before starting the mixer.
5.Not Too Hot
Some materials, like composted organics or stuff just out of a hot dryer, might still be warm. If they’re too hot (like above 80°C), they can damage seals and motors. Let hot stuff cool down before mixing.
To ensure the efficient operation of the fertilizer mixer, it is recommended to pre-treat the materials before feeding, and regularly maintain the equipment and clean up the residual materials, which can significantly improve the mixing efficiency and fertilizer quality.
