Granulator: The "Heart" of Organic Fertilizer Production Line - How to Choose?

 In organic fertilizer production lines, the granulator is known as the "heart" equipment, its performance directly affecting the quality and market competitiveness of the final product. Faced with various granulation technologies in the market, especially the two mainstream choices of ring-die granulator and flat-die granulator, how to make an informed decision? This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the differences between these two types of equipment and their applicable scenarios.

The Core Role of Granulators in Production Lines

The granulation process is a key stage in organic fertilizer production, mainly achieving the following functions:

· Transforming powdered raw materials into granules, reducing dust loss during application

· Increasing product bulk density, lowering packaging and transportation costs

· Improving fertilizer physical properties, enhancing market competitiveness

· Facilitating control of nutrient release rate, improving utilization efficiency

ring-die granulator vs Flat-Die Granulator: Technical Comparison

Comparison Item	ring-die granulator	Flat-Die Granulator
Working Principle	Two counter-rotating dies extrude the material	Material is extruded between flat die and pressure roller
Capacity Range	3-15 tons/hour	1-8 tons/hour
Pellet Shape	Cylindrical, smooth surface	Irregular shape, rougher surface
Energy Consumption	Higher	Lower
Maintenance Cost	Higher	Lower
Suitable Materials	Fine powder, low fiber content	Fibrous, sticky materials

How to Choose: Double-Die or Flat-Die?

When to choose ring-die granulator:

· Pursuing high output and large-scale production

· Raw materials mainly fine powder with low fiber content

· Need to produce pellets with exquisite appearance

· Strict requirements on pellet uniformity

When to choose flat-die granulator:

· Small to medium scale production with limited budget

· Raw materials contain more fibers or sticky substances

· Less demanding on pellet shape

· Emphasis on equipment operating economy
