Factors Affecting Raw Material Consumption in Fertilizer Equipment
I. Composition of Raw Material Consumption
* **Main Raw Materials**
* N (Nitrogen sources): Urea, Ammonium Sulfate, Ammonium Nitrate
* P (Phosphorus sources): Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP), Diammonium Phosphate (DAP)
* K (Potassium sources): Potassium Chloride, Potassium Sulfate
* **Auxiliary Additives**
* Trace elements: Boron, Zinc, Iron, etc.
* Modifiers: To enhance granule strength or solubility
* **Coating or Anti-Caking Materials**
* Such as talc powder, vegetable oil, anti-caking agents
* **Material Loss**
* Dust loss during conveying, mixing, and drying
* Switching losses when starting/stopping equipment or changing raw materials
II. Major Factors Influencing Raw Material Consumption
* **Formulation Design**
* Different crop and regional requirements lead to varying nutrient ratios, directly affecting raw material consumption.
* **Equipment Operating Precision**
* The weighing accuracy and flow control precision of batching systems determine whether overfeeding or underfeeding occurs.
* **Raw Material Quality**
* Moisture content and particle size uniformity influence mixing and granulation efficiency.
* **Loss Control Capability**
* The effectiveness of dust collection and recovery systems determines how much raw material can be reclaimed.
* **Operation and Maintenance**
* Operator skill level and routine inspections help prevent unnecessary waste.
III. Recommendations for Reducing Raw Material Consumption
1. **Accurate Batching Systems**
* Use PLC-based controls with high-precision scales and closed-loop flow control to prevent overfeeding.
2. **Dust Collection and Recycling**
* Install high-efficiency cyclone separators and bag filters to recycle dust back into production.
3. **Process Path Optimization**
* Reduce multiple transfers to minimize material adhesion and loss.
4. **Regular Calibration of Measuring Equipment**
* Maintain long-term measurement accuracy after extended use.
5. **Raw Material Storage Management**
* Prevent moisture absorption and caking to ensure good material flow, avoiding blockages and waste.
