Adjusting disc granulator parameters for different crop needs

Disc granulators are key equipment in modern agriculture. How you set their parameters directly impacts fertilizer granule quality and how well crops absorb nutrients. Different crops need specific granule sizes, densities, and compositions. Tweaking these settings scientifically boosts fertilizer efficiency and supports healthier crop growth.

Key Parameters and What They Do  

1.Disc Granulator Tilt Angle: Controls how long material stays in the disc, affecting granule size.  

2.Rotation Speed: Determines how dense and well-formed the granules are.  

3.Spray Volume: Adjusts moisture and stickiness for binding.  

4. Feed Rate: Affects output speed and how evenly sized the granules are.  

Suggested Settings for Different Crops

1.Field Crops (Wheat, Corn, etc.)  

Granule Size: 2–4 mm (medium)  

Settings: Medium tilt angle (45–50°), Speed: 25–30 rpm  

Benefits: Ensures slow nutrient release and works well with large-scale mechanized spreading.  


2.Vegetable Crops  

Granule Size: 1–2 mm (small)  

Settings: Steeper tilt angle (55–60°), Speed: 30–35 rpm  

Benefits: Speeds up fertilizer breakdown to match vegetables’ fast growth.  

3.Fruit Trees  

Granule Size: 4–6 mm (large)  

Settings: Shallower tilt angle (40–45°), Speed: 20–25 rpm  

Benefits: Extends fertilizer effect, reduces how often you need to apply it, and suits deep root systems.

By adjusting disc granulator settings for specific crops, you get fertilizer granules that fit their needs perfectly. This means smarter fertilizing, better yields, and higher-quality harvests.
