The Impact of Organic Fertilizer Particle Size on Product Quality
The particle size of organic fertilizer crushers has a significant impact on product quality, primarily in the following ways:
1. Impact on Fermentation: If the particle size is too large, microorganisms will have difficulty effectively attaching and decomposing the material, resulting in a longer fermentation cycle in the organic fertilizer produciton line. For example, organic fertilizer with a particle size exceeding 5 mm will ferment significantly slower. If the particle size is too small, the material will have poor air permeability, resulting in oxygen deprivation within the pile, which will restrict the activity of aerobic microorganisms, creating an anaerobic environment and producing odor.
2. Impact on Granulation: Uneven particle size will reduce the granulation efficiency. A uniform particle size provides a good foundation for subsequent granulation, resulting in organic fertilizer granules with a regular shape and moderate strength.
3. Impact on Fertilizer Efficiency: A uniform particle size ensures more uniform mixing of the material, avoids uneven nutrient distribution caused by varying raw material particle sizes, and improves product quality. Organic fertilizer with a moderate particle size releases nutrients more evenly after application, resulting in a longer-lasting fertilizer effect. 4. Impact on Subsequent Processing: The crushed material is easier to agglomerate and form, resulting in granules with a regular shape and moderate strength. Organic fertilizer granules with a moderate particle size offer advantages during packaging, storage, and transportation, facilitating metering and packaging while minimizing quality degradation caused by moisture, clumping, and other issues.
In summary, the particle size of the organic fertilizer grinder has a multi-faceted impact on product quality. A suitable particle size can improve fermentation efficiency, enhance granulation results, enhance the sustainability of fertilizer effectiveness, and reduce production energy consumption.
