In the process of organic fertilizer manufacturing, the use of new organic fertilizer granulators can improve production efficiency and product quality. However, the way of handling raw materials has become a key issue. Is it necessary to dry the raw materials?

Generally speaking, drying raw materials is very important when using new organic fertilizer granulators. First of all, drying can reduce the moisture content of raw materials, reduce the impact and damage of moisture on granulator equipment, and increase the service life of equipment. At the same time, reducing the moisture content can also avoid problems such as loose and fragile particles caused by excessive moisture in raw materials.

Secondly, drying can improve the crushing and plasticity of raw materials. After the raw materials are dried, the volatilization of water makes the organic matter in the raw materials easier to disperse and easier to mix with other raw materials, thereby improving the crushing and plasticity of the raw materials. This provides better conditions for the subsequent granulation process.

In addition, drying can effectively remove harmful substances such as bacteria and parasites in the raw materials. Organic fertilizer raw materials are usually obtained by composting or fermentation, which may contain some harmful microorganisms or insect eggs. Drying can effectively remove these harmful substances by high-temperature sterilization to ensure the safety and quality of the final product.

However, whether the raw materials need to be dried depends on the specific situation. Different types of organic fertilizer raw materials have different moisture contents, and whether to dry them can be determined according to the actual situation. For raw materials with low moisture content, granulation can be carried out directly, while for raw materials with high moisture content, drying is recommended. At the same time, cost and production efficiency factors should also be considered.

In summary, it is necessary to dry the raw materials when using the new organic fertilizer granulator. Drying can increase the service life of the equipment, improve the crushing and plasticity of the raw materials, and remove harmful substances to ensure the safety and quality of the final product. However, whether drying is needed also varies from material to material, and should be considered comprehensively in combination with cost and production efficiency.
