Is organic fertilizer business profitable?

Image
  Is the organic fertilizer business profitable? Yes, the organic fertilizer business is profitable, mainly due to the following factors: 1. Strong market demand: The global organic fertilizer market is enormous, driven by strong policies. The county-wide promotion project for the resource utilization of livestock and poultry manure covers over 800 major agricultural counties. The application rate of organic fertilizer in cash crops is increasing, with fruits, vegetables, tea, and medicinal herbs becoming the main consumers. The penetration rate of organic fertilizer in greenhouse vegetable cultivation is approaching 60%. 2. Strong policy support: More than 50 policies and regulations related to organic fertilizers were released globally between 2024 and 2025. China exempts the production and sale of organic fertilizers from value-added tax, and also provides subsidies for  fertilizer equipment  purchases (up to 30%), tax reductions, etc. Some regions offer subsidies base...

How to mix fertilizers together?

Image
Compatibility is key when mixing fertilizers; the type of fertilizer and the crop's needs must be clearly defined first. For mass production, a  horizontal fertilizer mixer  is the core equipment. Its speed should be controlled at 20-30 rpm to allow for sufficient material convection and ensure uniform mixing. Small proportions of micronutrient fertilizers need to be premixed with a portion of the base fertilizer, then the mixture should be broken up and impurities removed using the pretreatment device of the  fertilizer making machine  to ensure uniform particle size (difference not exceeding 3mm) and avoid excessively high local concentrations. Organic fertilizers must be fully decomposed before mixing with chemical fertilizers. When mixing with the horizontal fertilizer mixer, care must be taken to prevent undecomposed materials from reacting with the fertilizers and producing ammonia gas. When mixing slow-release and fast-acting fertilizers, the gentle stirring f...

Which granulation method is best for fertilizer production lines?

Image
  There is no absolutely "best" granulation method for fertilizer production lines. Different granulation methods are suitable for different scenarios and must be selected comprehensively based on the characteristics of the raw materials, product requirements, and production capacity. The following are the applicable characteristics of mainstream methods, which can be matched according to needs: 1. Drum granulation: Suitable for the production of medium-to-low hardness granules such as organic fertilizers and compound fertilizers. The material is tumbled by the rotation of the drum, and a binder is added to form granules. The granules have high roundness and high production capacity (several tons to tens of tons per hour).  Drum granualtors  have a simple structure and are easy to maintain. However, they require drying equipment and are suitable for large-scale production lines, especially when the raw materials are well-rotted organic fertilizers or powdered single-eleme...

How to choose the right fertilizer machine for a specific orchard

Image
  Choosing the right  fertilizer machine  for a specific orchard requires a comprehensive assessment of the orchard size, crop type, fertilizer form, and management needs. The core principle is matching the fertilization scenario with the equipment's functionality. Specifically, this can be approached from the following aspects: 1. Determine equipment capacity based on orchard size: For small orchards (<50 acres), prioritize lightweight and flexible small equipment suitable for single-person operation, ideal for spot application and topdressing. For medium-sized orchards (50-200 acres), self-propelled multi-functional fertilizer applicators are recommended to reduce labor intensity. Large orchards (>200 mu) require intelligent equipment, such as towed precision fertilizer applicators (combined with GPS positioning for variable-rate fertilization). 3. Select equipment based on fertilizer form: Solid fertilizers (granular fertilizers, organic fertilizers): For granula...

What is a fertilizer horizontal mixer used for?

Image
  A  fertilizer horizontal mixer  is a core piece of equipment in the production process of compound fertilizers and organic fertilizers, used for homogenizing raw materials. Its design is fully adapted to the specific needs of fertilizer production, playing an irreplaceable role in improving fertilizer quality. Structurally, it typically uses a horizontally placed cylindrical body, providing ample mixing space for the materials. Inside the cylinder, the mixing shaft is equipped with mixing blades at different angles, commonly paddle-type and ribbon-type. Paddle-type blades violently tumble the material radially, while ribbon-type blades propel the material in axial circulation. The superposition of these two motion trajectories creates complex convection and shearing within the cylinder, ensuring thorough mixing of different raw materials. In compound fertilizer production, its role is particularly crucial. When single-element fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus, an...

How to Reduce Material Blockage in Organic Fertilizer Horizontal Mixers?

Image
  Reducing material blockage in   organic  fertilizer horizontal mixers  requires attention to three aspects: feeding, equipment adjustment, and maintenance: 1. Controlling Feeding Conditions: The moisture content of raw materials must be strictly controlled between 20% and 30%. Excessive moisture easily leads to clumping and sticking; pre-drying or adding dry materials can help. Large pieces of material (diameter > 5cm) must be crushed before feeding to prevent them from getting stuck between the mixing shaft and the drum wall. Maintain a uniform feeding speed and install a spiral pre-feeder to avoid excessive material feeding at once, which can cause instantaneous accumulation. 2. Optimizing Equipment Structure: Install a grate (8-10cm aperture) at the mixer inlet to intercept large impurities; adjust the mixing shaft blade angle to 45° to enhance pushing force; line the drum wall with stainless steel plates where material tends to stick to reduce adhesion; inst...

Technical Advantages of Horizontal Fertilizer Mixers for Uniform Fertilizer Mixing

Image
  The technical advantages of  horizontal fertilizer mixers   in uniformly mixing fertilizers are mainly reflected in the precise control of mixing effects through their structural design and operating mechanism. Specifically, these advantages can be seen in the following aspects: 1. Optimized Utilization of Mixing Space. The horizontal mixing chamber is long and cylindrical, with a closed and regular internal space. After the material enters from the inlet, it can form a continuous "material flow circulation" within the chamber. Compared to vertical mixers, the horizontal design reduces the stratification phenomenon caused by gravity—heavier particles (such as potassium fertilizer) will not easily sink to the bottom, and lighter materials (such as organic fertilizer powder) will not easily float to the surface, laying the foundation for uniform mixing. 2. Strong Adaptability and Controllability. Horizontal mixers can be adapted to fertilizer raw materials with different ...
