In organic fertilizer production, the fertilizer mixer is a core piece of equipment. Its efficiency directly affects mixing uniformity and output. Here are ways to improve its production efficiency:
1.Optimize Material Pre-treatment
Control Moisture: Keep raw material moisture between 30%-50%. Too high causes sticking; too low causes dust.
Crush and Screen: Break large chunks down to 3-5cm first. This reduces mixing resistance and improves uniformity.
2.Choose the Right Mixer Type
Double-Shaft Paddle: Best for high-fiber materials. Mixes more evenly and is about 30% more efficient than single-shaft mixers.
Horizontal Ribbon: Better for sticky materials. Reduces residue and is easier to clean.
3.Adjust Mixing Parameters
Optimize Speed: Usually keep it between 20-40 rpm. Too fast causes overheating; too slow gives poor mixing.
Batch Time: 5-10 minutes per batch is often enough. Longer mixing wastes energy.
4.Improve Feeding and Discharge
Automatic Feeding Systems: Cut down manual loading time and boost continuous operation.
Bottom Discharge Design: Speeds up unloading and shortens the time between batches.
5.Regular Maintenance and Upgrades
Clean Residue: Clear fertilizer mixer’s paddles and drum wall after each shift to prevent caking that affects the next batch.
Check Wear Parts: Replace paddles and bearings regularly to avoid efficiency loss from worn equipment.
By making these adjustments, you can significantly boost the fertilizer mixer’s efficiency, lower energy use, and improve product quality.
