The production process for NPK fertilizers typically involves blending different ratios of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium compounds, along with other micronutrients such as sulfur, magnesium, and calcium. These compounds may be sourced from various raw materials, such as ammonia, urea, phosphoric acid, and potassium chloride.
The manufacturing process may vary depending on the specific type of NPK fertilizer being produced, but generally involves the following steps:
Raw material storage and handling
Mixing and blending of raw materials
Granulation or compaction to produce fertilizer granules or pellets
Drying and cooling of the finished product
Screening and packaging for distribution
How To Make NPK Fertilizer You Need?
How to Manufacture 15-15-15 NPK Fertilizers?
Ingredient Preparation
The first step in the process is to prepare the ingredients required for the fertilizer. This involves sourcing the raw materials such as urea, diammonium phosphate (DAP), and potassium chloride.
Mixing
After the raw materials have been prepared, they are mixed together in the right proportion to achieve the desired NPK 15-15-15 ratio. The mixing process can be done in a large mixer or blending machine.
Granulation
The next step is to granulate the mixed fertilizer. You can choose the wet granulator or dry granulator to form small pellets or granules. The granules are then dried to remove any excess moisture.
Cooling
The granules are then cooled to room temperature to prevent clumping or sticking together.
Screening
The cooled granules are screened to remove any oversized or undersized particles. This ensures that the final product has a consistent particle size.
Packaging
The final step in the process is packaging the granulated fertilizer into bags or other containers for storage and transport.

A Design for a Fertilizer Factory to Produce Mainly NPK-12-24-12
To produce NPK 20 10 10 fertilizer, you will need to mix 20% nitrogen, 10% phosphorus, and 10% potassium. This can be done in a mixing machine, which can also add micronutrients and other additives as required. The mixed fertilizer needs to be granulated to form small, uniform particles that are easy to handle and apply. There are various granulation techniques such as pan granulation, rotary drum granulation, and double roller NPK granulator.
How to setup a small or large NPK fertilizer plant?
5-10 t/h Granular NPK Fertilizer Plant
We recommend you our SXZGZ-1870 rotary drum granulator, its capacity is 5-8 t/h. This machine is a key machine in NPK fertilizer making. The rotary drum granulator is a machine which apply to organic or NPK fertilizer production.
How Much is 5-8 t/h NPK Fertilisers Plant?
The process of NPK fertilisers making includes batching, granulating, drying, cooling and coating etc. Because of the complex step, thus you need more NPK production equipment to assemble the NPK fertilizer plant. The cost is higher than the powder NPK fertilizer.
NPK Fertilizers Granulator Rotary Drum Plant of Capacity 10mt Per Hour
NPK Fertilizers Granulator Rotary drum plant is a NPK production line mainly consist of the rotary drum granulator. We designed different capacity drum granulator for NPK fertilizer making. If you want to set up a capacity of 10mt per hour NPK fertilizers granulator rotary drum plant, we advise you our SXZGZ-2080 rotary drum granulator. It has a capacity of 8-15 t/h. When you using the drum granulator to granulate, you should add some steam or water to the machine.
NPK Fertilizer Plant Machinery 200 Ton Per Day Capacity
When you plan to produce 200t NPK fertilizer in one day, supposing a granulator works ten hours a day, then you need at least one 20t/h granulator or even more large capacity. Our max granulator is SXZGZ-3210 rotary drum granulator, which it can granulate 30t NPK fertilizer one hour. Thus it is easy to produce 200 ton per day for it.
What equipment is suitable for NPK fertilizer manufacturing?
Machinery to Mix, Granulate, Coat, and Bag NPK Fertilizer
NPK Fertilizer Horizontal Mixer
Besides the batching machine, the efficiency of the mixer is an important factor determining the quality of the NPK fertilizer. Only the material mix evenly, the every granulator can has balanced nutrients. We highly recommend our horizontal mixer for your NPK fertilizer production. When the horizontal mixer working, the material in the machine is operated by two opposing rotors to turn around.
NPK Rotary Coating Machine
How to prevent the NPK fertilizer lump in together? Using our NPK rotary coating machine. It will coat your NPK fertilizer granulators with a layer of special materials which prevent the granulator sticking together.
NPK Fertilizer Bagging Machine
In order to remain the speed of the whole production line, it is necessary to buy an auto NPK fertilizer bagging machine.
Batching System For NPK Batching Unit
Are you worried about what to do if there is too much or too little of a certain element in the process of making NPK fertilizer? As for this condition, we designed the batching system to resolve the problem. SX has dynamic batching machine and static batching machine for you to choose.
