Fertilizer blending equipment refers to machinery used to mix different types of fertilizers—usually dry granular ones—to create customized blends that meet specific crop or soil nutrient requirements.
Common Types of Fertilizer Blending Equipment:
1. Batch Blenders
Horizontal Single/Double Shaft Blenders
Mix fertilizer in batches.
Common in small to mid-scale operations.
Double shaft mixers are more efficient for uniform blending.
Ribbon Blenders
Use a helical ribbon agitator.
Ideal for blending powders or fine granules.
2. Continuous Blenders
Ideal for large-scale, automated operations.
Fertilizer components are fed and mixed continuously.
Equipped with weighing, dosing, and real-time control systems.
3. Rotary Drum Blenders
Large cylindrical drums rotate to mix materials.
Gentle blending, suitable for granular fertilizers.
Can be integrated with coating systems.
4. Automatic Weighing & Dosing Systems
Control the proportion of each fertilizer type (N, P, K, trace elements).
Include hopper scales, belt scales, or screw feeders.
Critical for precision blending.
5. Packaging Equipment
After blending, the fertilizer is packed via automatic bagging and sealing machines.
Optional palletizing systems for bulk handling.
