BB fertilizer mixers: Key equipment for ensuring uniform nutrient distribution in blended fertilizers
In BB fertilizer (blended fertilizer) production, the BB fertilizer mixer is a key piece of equipment that determines product quality. Its core function is to evenly blend multiple raw materials of varying density and particle size into a nutrient-consistent fertilizer, directly impacting subsequent fertilization effectiveness.
In terms of equipment structure, mainstream BB fertilizer mixers mostly adopt a closed-cylinder design with an internal mixing assembly. The cylinder is typically positioned horizontally, with the mixing assembly driven by a motor. Some BB fertilizer mixers also feature forward and reverse rotation to reduce residual material in the cylinder. The feed inlet is typically located at the top of the cylinder, and the discharge outlet at the bottom. Some models feature an observation window for easily monitoring the mixing status.

During operation, raw materials such as urea, monoammonium phosphate, and potassium chloride are introduced into the mixing cylinder according to the formulated ratio. The rotating mixing assembly propels the raw materials: the screw conveys the raw materials from both ends toward the center, the paddles shear and stir the raw materials, and the guide plates facilitate convection, ensuring full contact between raw materials with density differences of 30%-50%. The entire process does not require the addition of adhesives, and mechanical force is used to achieve “small particles filling gaps and large particles colliding with each other”, ultimately achieving a uniform mixing effect.
