What kinds of granules can you produced by using double roller granulator?

Double roller granulator is the essential machine of compound fertilizer production. This machine can produce special compound fertilizer pellets with high, medium and low concentration. By using double roller pellet equipment, you can get the compound fertilizer granules of urea, zinc sulfate, potassium chloride, ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium sulfate magnesium sulfate and sodium chloride.

This machine is also suitable for producing the NPK fertilizer granules. With the help of double roller granulator, forming and rolling the quality NPK fertilizer granules can at one time. In other words, it can help you improve the granulation efficiency.

Besides NPK compound fertilizer manufacturing, this machine can also produce organic fertilizer. Compared with other organic fertilizer granulators, extrusion granulator can produce dry organic fertilizer. So it can save the cost of drying and cooling.

How does extrusion granulator adopt dry granulation method?

Fertilizer roller compactor is a special granulator. Different from other fertilizer pellet making machine, it uses dry granulation technology for making powder into granules. And the wet granulation equipment requires high moisture content materials. Then it is applicable for you to add binders or some liquid into materials during the granulation. While, this machine can accept the materials whose moisture content is between 5%-10%. Meanwhile, there are two rotating rollers, which will extrude your dry powder material into shaped granules.

This machine is often used for making complex fertilizer. It is applicable for you to use some powdery materials, which is not suitable for mixing with liquid for pelletizing. Especially, if you use this extrusion granulation equipment for granulating, you do not need to buy a dryer and cooler. Because the pellets made by this granulator have low moisture content. You can pack them directly for selling. While, if you want your fertilizer pellets have higher quality, it is helpful for you to equip with a screening machine and coating machine before packing.

What is the main part of double roller pelletizer?

In general, a roller extrusion granulator includes 4 main parts. They are rack section, driving part, extrusion granulating part, crushing and separating part. Now Shunxin experts will give you a detailed information as follows.

  • Rack section is an overall structure, which is made by high-quality carbon steel plate. All other detailed parts need assembling in the rack section, Besides, there are holes around the machine. That is easy for discharging and transporting

  • Driving part refers to that motor drives the belt pulley, triangle belt and speed reducer. This part mainly provides force during double roller granulator working.

  • Extrusion granulating part is the key section in a roller granulation machine. There have two roller sheets in a complete double roller pelletizer, which will press your powder materials into big tablets

  • Crushing and separating part is to crush the extruded big tablets into uniform pellets, Then separating unqualified fertilizer granules, which need you put them into granulating part again.

Designs for Double Roller Extrusion Granulation in Our Factory

The double roller extrusion granulator making machine structure mainly has granulation, molding and screening parts. And we are going to know more about how they design and work subsequently.

Our factory makes special designs for double rollers.

  • The rollers use a new type of metal, which has the advantages of anticorrosion and anti-shock. You can put forward the ball socket’s shape and size, and then we design them accordingly. Now the ball shape and bar shape are used widely. But you can also choose semi-round shape, walnut shape and so on. The final granule size for double roller granulator is usually 3-10mm.

    What do you need to pay attention to? The double roller fertilizer granulator making pellets is usually flat. However, if you want to make the pellet shapes much more round, you can choose our organic fertilizer polishing machine. Besides, you can design the rollers directly. If the ball socket is much deeper, the pellets are more round. But it will damage the rollers a lot. You will need to change them timely.

How to extrude pellets by the double roller compaction granulation?

  • Firstly, you can add materials from the feed hopper, and then double roller press granulator rollers extrude pellets and release them from the mold. They form a pellet through two semi-balls’ combination.

  • Then pellets fall into the crushing chamber. Under the force of the drive shaft, a chain drives two maces to rotate for separating the extruded but cohesive particles. That’s how fertilizer pellet extruder machine’s granulation works.

    The finished granules and powder are sieved from the lower sieve, and the subsequent sieving machine separates the granular material and the returned material. The belt conveyor is used to mix the returned material with the new material, and then granulate again.

  • The finished granules and powder are sieved from the lower sieve, and the subsequent sieving machine separates the granular material and the returned material. The belt conveyor is used to mix the returned material with the new material, and then granulate again.

With these designs and structures, the double roller extrusion pelletizer makes high quality pellets. The pellets’ hardness is up to 15-20N. And the final products’ yield is up to 95%. You can use this machine to start a small scale fertilizer process line.

How a double roller granulating equipment works?

The roller compactor adopts dry granulation. Dry granulation is different from wet granulation. You needn’t put adhesive into the materials, and there is no need to increase the moisture content. It granulates under the normal temperature. The raw materials’ moisture is 5-10%. In this way, there is also no need for drying the formed granules, which cuts a lot of cost in your production. Besides, as the friction coefficient between the materials and the rollers is small, the energy cost is also much lower. You can start your compound fertilizer double roller granulation plant environmental-friendly.
