Pan granulator, also known as disc granulator or disc pelletizer, is one of the main equipment for making compound fertilizer, such as npk fertilizer, organic fertilizer and inorganic fertilizer. It can granulate powdery materials into uniform and round granules by rotating them in a circular pan with water.

The working principle of pan granulator is based on the surface tension of water and the centrifugal force of the rotating disc. When the powdery materials are mixed with water and fed into the pan, they form a thin layer of wet material on the surface of the disc. As the disc rotates, the wet material rolls along the edge of the disc and gradually grows into spherical granules. The size of the granules depends on the amount of water, the speed of rotation and the angle of inclination of the disc.
Pan granulator has many advantages for npk production, such as:
– High granulation rate: The pan granulator can achieve more than 93% granulation rate, which means that most of the powdery materials can be turned into granules.
– Simple structure and easy operation: The pan granulator has a compact structure and only consists of three parts: frame, adjustment part and granulation disc. It is easy to install and operate, and does not require much maintenance.
– Wide application: The pan granulator can be used for various kinds of materials, such as urea, ammonium sulfate, potassium chloride, phosphate rock powder, etc. It can also be used for making organic fertilizer by adding some organic materials, such as animal manure, straw, etc.
– Low energy consumption and environmental friendly: The pan granulator does not need any heating or drying process, which can save a lot of energy and reduce pollution.
To choose a suitable pan granulator line for your npk production, you need to consider some factors, such as:
– The capacity: You need to estimate how much npk fertilizer you want to produce per hour or per year, and then choose a pan granulator with appropriate size and output.
– The raw materials: You need to know what kind of raw materials you have and their moisture content, and then choose a pan granulator with suitable feeding device and spraying system.
– The budget: You need to know how much money you can afford to invest in your npk production line, and then choose a pan granulator with reasonable price and quality.
