In the fertilizer industry, raw materials used for different fertilizer types vary significantly. Organic fertilizers require the processing of straw and fermented livestock and poultry manure, while compound fertilizers often involve hard particles such as phosphate rock and potassium chloride. Chain crushers, with their versatile adaptability, can easily handle the crushing needs of these diverse raw materials.
For fibrous raw materials such as straw and rice husks, common in organic fertilizer production, the chain of a chain crusher uses high-speed impact to sever the fibers, eliminating the “fiber entanglement” problem common in traditional hammer mills. The resulting pulverized material is loose and easy to mix with other raw materials for fermentation. For cake-based raw materials (such as soybean meal and rapeseed meal), the chain’s shear force effectively breaks up lumps and produces uniform crushed particles, eliminating excess powder and reducing raw material waste.
Even for hard mineral raw materials used in compound fertilizer production, chain crushers with high-strength alloy chains can achieve crushing through continuous impact, and the equipment’s lining is made of wear-resistant material, extending its service life.
In addition, it has a higher tolerance for the moisture content of raw materials. Wet materials with a moisture content of about 20% can be directly crushed without additional drying, which greatly simplifies the organic fertilizer production process and reduces the company’s initial investment.
