Methods to reduce dust pollution in rotary drum granulators for eco-friendly fertilizer production

In eco-friendly fertilizer production, using rotary drum granulators may lead to dust pollution. Effectively controlling this dust is essential for sustainable manufacturing.

Equipment Design Improvements

  1. Enclosedor Semi-Enclosed Design: Sealed rotary drum granulators prevent dust leakage during processes like crushing, mixing, and granulation. Built-in dust collection systems help contain particles.
  2. Efficient Dust Collectors: Installing devices like cyclone dust collectors allows real-time dust monitoring and automatic processing, improving workplace safety.
  3. Closed Conveying Systems: Using enclosed transport equipment (such asbelt conveyors, screw conveyors) minimizes dust escape during material transfer.

Production Process Optimization

  1. Raw Material Prep: Pre-treat materials (drying, grinding) to achieve ideal particle size and moisture content, reducing dust generation.
  2. Parameter Control: Adjust drum speed, tilt angle, and filling rate to optimize material flow and minimize dust.
  3. Binder Additives: Use binding agents to enhance material cohesion and reduce dust formation.

Environmental Management and Maintenance

  1. Ventilation Systems: Install fans and ducts to maintain airflow and remove airborne dust.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Frequently clean equipment and workspaces to prevent dust buildup.

By implementing sealed designs, optimizing dust control systems, and refining production parameters, rotary drum granulators can significantly reduce dust pollution, supporting greener fertilizer manufacturing.
