Potash is an essential nutrient element for crop growth. Powdered potash is easy to agglomerate, hard to spread evenly and inconvenient for storage and transportation. A potash granulator turns fine potash powder into round, hard and uniform pellets, solving these pain points for fertilizer manufacturers. This rotary drum potash granulator is widely adopted in single potash fertilizer plants and compound fertilizer production lines.
The potash granulator uses the wet granulation principle. Powder potash raw materials enter the rotating drum together with a proper amount of binder. Under the rolling and friction inside the inclined rotary drum, fine powder gathers gradually and grows into round pellets. The granulation rate can be controlled by adjusting drum speed, inclination angle and liquid binder dosage. Wet green pellets will go to the subsequent drying, cooling and screening process. The whole machine runs continuously and fits well with upstream feeding and downstream screening equipment.
Our potash granulator features high granulation yield and low failure rate. The lining is anti-corrosion and wear-resistant to adapt to corrosive potash materials. The granulation rate can reach 70%-85% under stable operation. The finished pellets have high strength, not easy to break during packaging and transport. It supports continuous 24-hour running for medium and large fertilizer factories. We adopt frequency conversion speed regulation for flexible adjustment. Simple structure brings low maintenance cost and easy operation for workers.
We supply multiple models of potash granulators with different hourly output from 1t/h to 20t/h. Particle size of finished potash pellets can be adjusted from 2mm to 6mm. We can customize drum lining material, feeding port and driving system according to your raw material characteristics. If you mix potash with phosphate and nitrogen materials, we can adjust the internal structure to adapt compound granulation. Supporting parts like liquid spraying system can be configured as your request.
This potash granulation machine is used for pure potash granulation, potassium chloride and potassium sulfate pelletizing. It also works for compound fertilizer granulation with potash as one raw material. Customers use it for commercial fertilizer production, agricultural fertilizer projects and fertilizer processing plants. Granulated potash is popular for crop planting, fruit trees and cash crops because of slow-release and convenient application.
When purchasing a potash granulator, confirm your raw material type: potassium chloride or potassium sulfate. Confirm target capacity, required pellet size and whether you need to mix with other fertilizer materials. You also need to reserve space for matching dryers, coolers and screening machines. Corrosion resistance is a critical index for potash equipment. Reliable after-sales and spare parts supply guarantee long-term stable production.
