The main functions of fertilizer crushers include:
· Improving fertilizer uniformity: Crushing organic fertilizers of different forms into uniform particles ensures balanced nutrient distribution
· Promoting maturation and fermentation: Increased surface area of crushed materials facilitates microbial activity and accelerates the maturation process
· Facilitating application: Smaller particles mix more easily with soil, improving fertilizer utilization
· Reducing environmental pollution: Preventing nutrient loss and soil pollution caused by direct application of large fertilizer chunks
Research shows that organic fertilizers after crushing treatment can increase nutrient release rate by 30-50% and crop absorption efficiency by more than 20% [1]. This efficiency improvement is of great significance for the sustainable development of modern agriculture.
Modern fertilizer crushers have surpassed traditional functions and can process various agricultural wastes:
Table 1: Effects and Applications of Fertilizer Crushers on Different Materials

Subsequent Uses |
Livestock manure |
Breaking lumps into uniform particles |
Compost fermentation, direct application |
Crop straw |
Cutting fiber structures |
Field return for improvement, substrate production |

Different types of fertilizer crushers are suitable for different scenarios:
· Chain crushers: Suitable for high-moisture materials (like fresh livestock manure) with good anti-clogging performance
· Half-wet material crushers: Suitable for processing various wet materials including straw, kitchen waste, and herbal residue
· Cage crushers: Suitable for processing brittle materials with low clogging risk
· Straw crushers: Suitable for quick volume reduction using agricultural power
· Dual-shaft urea crushers: Strong crushing capacity for mixed materials (like compost semi-finished products)
