Granular Fertilizer Production Facility

Granular Fertilizer Production Facility

Facilities where fertilizers containing various nutrients are produced in granular form to increase agricultural productivity and support healthy plant growth.

Granular fertilizers provide balanced nutrient release in the soil, creating long-term effects. These types of fertilizers are especially suitable for use in large-scale agriculture due to their easy storage and application properties.

Granular Fertilizer Production Processes

1. Raw Material Supply and Preparation

• Mineral and Organic Raw Materials: Basic raw materials used in granular fertilizer production include essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and organic materials.

• Chemical Mixtures: Correct chemical mixtures required for production are prepared according to the targeted fertilizer type.

2. Mixing and Formulation

• Homogeneous Distribution of Components: Different raw materials are mixed in large mixers for equal distribution of nutrients.

• Addition of Water and Binders: Water and binding agents are added to the mixture to shape the granules.

3. Granulation

• Granulation Machines: The prepared mixture is pressed in granulation machines to form granules.

• Different Size Options: The size of the granules can be adjusted according to production requirements. The ideal size is determined for easy application and long-term effect in the soil.

4. Drying and Cooling

• Drying of Granules: The produced granules are dried in drying machines to reach low moisture levels.

• Cooling: Cooling process is carried out for the granules to become durable and stable.

5. Screening and Packaging

• Screening: Unwanted size granules formed during production are screened.

• Packaging: Packaged in standard sizes to prepare for use.

Features of Granular Fertilizer Production Facility

1. High Productivity:

   • Production processes are accelerated and efficiency is increased with automatic systems and modern machines.

2. Flexible Production Capacity:

   • The facility allows for the production of different types of fertilizers. For example, nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus fertilizers, etc.

3. Environmentally Friendly Production:

   • Environmentally friendly processes are provided with low energy consumption, waste management, and sustainable production methods.

4. Quality Control:

   • Quality control tests are conducted throughout the production process, ensuring that each batch of fertilizer produced is of the highest quality.

Types of Granular Fertilizers

1. Nitrogen Granular Fertilizers: Nitrogen is an important nutrient for plants and these fertilizers are used particularly in crops with high nitrogen requirements such as corn and wheat.

2. Potassium Granular Fertilizers: Supports root development of plants and is essential especially for fruit trees.

3. Phosphorus Granular Fertilizers: Supports root development of plants and is important during the flowering period.

4. Micro Nutrient Granules: Granules containing micro-nutrients such as zinc, iron, boron are produced to meet specific plant needs.

Advantages of Granular Fertilizers

1. Long-term Effect: Granular fertilizers provide continuous nutrients to plants by slow release in the soil.

2. Easy Storage and Transport: Granular form is easily dispersible in the soil and occupies less space during storage.

3. Uniform Distribution: When applied to the soil, granules ensure even distribution of nutrients, enhancing productivity.

4. Less Frequency of Application: Granules have a long-lasting effect, reducing the frequency of fertilizer application, saving labor and time.

Areas of Use

1. Agriculture: Used in various agricultural fields such as corn, wheat, barley, vegetables, and fruit production.

2. Horticulture and Landscaping: Commonly used in farms producing crops and decorative plants.

3. Forest Farming: Used to support healthy growth of forest trees.

4. Greenhouse and Greenhouse Farming: Optimizes plant nutrition especially in controlled environments.
