In many parts of the world, agricultural soils are running out of potassium. Some soils are high in potassium when they were first planted long ago. However, after years of intensive planting and repeated nutrient removal during harvest, many fields now require regular infusions of potash to maintain their productivity.
As the world continues to grapple with the ongoing pandemic and now unrest caused by the Russia-Ukrainian conflict, crop prices have skyrocketed, driving subsequent higher demand for fertilizers.
Potash segment of fertilizer types is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during 2020-2025. The potash segment is expected to grow at the highest rate over the forecast period. Potash contains soluble potassium, making it an excellent additive for agricultural fertilizers. Potassium is vital to plant health, and an adequate supply must be available in the soil for good growth. When potassium supplies are limited, plants have reduced yields, poor quality, less efficient use of water, and greater vulnerability to pests and diseases.
The market demand for granular potassium fertilizer is large, and the development and utilization prospects are broad. Extrusion granulation is currently the most feasible manufacturing method of granular potassium fertilizer in the world. In the process of npk fertilizer manufacturing process the advanced extrusion granulation technology in the world is double roller press granulation, and the roller extrusion granulator has the following advantages: 1. Circular operation, realizing continuous production and high-yield finished products; 2. The material is in It is forcibly compressed and shaped by mechanical pressure without any additives, thus ensuring the purity of the product. 3. The particle strength can be adjusted, and the strength of the finished product can be controlled by adjusting the pressure of the drum; 4. The extrusion granulator is suitable for a variety of raw materials, and the particle strength can be freely adjusted according to different materials. 5. Compact structure, easy maintenance, simple operation, short process flow, low energy consumption, high efficiency and low failure rate.
