Bentonite Processing Plant

Because of high viscosity and strong water absorption, bentonite is widely used in various aspects. Including organic fertilizer making, NPK fertilizer production, cat litter manufacturing, etc. But how to process bentonite to make it into finer power and granules, which are suitable for using in these processes? SX can provide you with the best solutions and machines for bentonite processing plant setup.

Using bentonite as additive to produce mixed feed can greatly improve the quality of final products. For one thing, bentonite has unique physical properties, which can promote the metabolism of animals and improve the conversion rate of feed. Therefore, animals have a strong appetite, rich fur and fast weight gain. And it is also beneficial for reducing feed costs. For another, due to excellent adsorption, it can effectively absorb coliform bacteria and enterotoxins of animals. So it plays a role in the prevention and control of epidemics, insecticide and sterilization.

In addition, if you plan to make organic or compound fertilizer pellets, adding bentonite also can help you a lot. First, because of high viscosity, it can help powder materials form into fertilizer granules faster and the granulation rate is higher. And the produced fertilizer granules have more uniform size, more beautiful appearance and higher hardness. In addition, adding bentonite in cow manure fertilizer granule processing can reduce the moisture content. So the final fertilizer is easier to transport and store.

Then, you can use bentonite as the main material to make cat litter. On the one hand, it can fully absorb the cat urine and water contained by manure. So you can Can easily clean up cat excrement. On the other hand, bentonite has a certain degree of adsorption. Therefore, it is helpful for reducing the odor in the air and providing you with a clean living environment.

Granulation machine is the key to turn bentonite powder into pellets. So it is important to buy a suitable granulator for your bentonite processing plant. In SX, we can provide you with disc granulator, rotary drum pelletizer and double roller extrusion granulator. If you want to produce rounded bentonite granules in a small scale, we recommend you purchase disc pelletizer. It can make 1-6 tons of 1-8 mm pellets per hour. However, for more economical small scale production, double roller granulation equipment is a better option for you. And when you plan to setup a large bentonite processing plant, rotary drum pelletizer is the best choice. Its largest output can reach 30 t/h.

In order to make prepared bentonite granules easier to transport, store and use. You also need a drying machine to remove excessive moisture. Especially when you use disc granulation machine and drum pelletizer, which adopts wet granulation method. After drying, the moisture content of bentonite pellet is below 10% and the temperature is 30-40℃. Because of the high temperature, you cannot pack granules directly. At that time, cooling machine can help you cool it down in a short time.

SX is the leading fertilizer equipment manufacturer in China. It has nearly 20 years of experience in the production of organic fertilizer and compound fertilizer equipment. So it can provide you with high quality equipment for your bentonite making plant at an economical price. In addition, we can offer you the best service. Including free project design, featured customization and considerate after-sales service.
