Horizontal Fertilizer Mixer

Product Overview

The Horizontal Fertilizer Mixer is a high-efficiency industrial mixing machine designed for the uniform blending of organic and compound fertilizer raw materials. Featuring a horizontal drum structure with high-speed rotating mixing paddles, this machine delivers consistent mixing results across a wide range of material types, moisture levels, and particle sizes.

Whether you are producing organic fertilizer from animal manure, NPK compound fertilizer from chemical materials, or bio-organic blends, the horizontal mixer ensures that every batch achieves the homogeneity required for downstream granulation and final product quality.

Engineered for continuous, heavy-duty operation, this mixer is the workhorse of modern fertilizer production lines worldwide — trusted by 500+ plants across 50+ countries.

                              Uniform Mixture ──→ Discharge Door ──→ Next Process
                                                                    (Granulation / Packaging)

1. Feeding: Raw materials are fed into the hopper via conveyor belt or manual loading
2. Mixing: The motor drives the main shaft, rotating the ribbon-style mixing paddles inside the horizontal drum. Materials are lifted, tumbled, and circulated in both axial and radial directions, creating a 3D mixing effect
3. Discharging: After the preset mixing time (3-6 minutes), the pneumatic discharge door opens, and the homogeneous mixture is discharged into the next process (granulator or packaging machine)

The key advantage of the horizontal design is the convective mixing pattern — materials move continuously along the drum axis while being lifted and cascaded, preventing dead zones and ensuring every particle contacts every other particle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the maximum moisture content this mixer can handle?

A: The horizontal mixer effectively handles materials with up to 30% moisture content. For materials above 30%, we recommend pre-drying or combining with a dryer.

Q2: Can I get a stainless steel version?

A: Yes. We offer full 304 or 316L stainless steel construction for highly corrosive materials or food-grade requirements.

Q3: What is the typical mixing time per batch?

A: 3-5 minutes for standard organic/compound materials. Highly viscous or fibrous materials may require 5-8 minutes.

Q4: Do you provide installation and commissioning support?

A: Yes. We provide detailed installation manuals, CAD layout drawings, and can dispatch our engineers for on-site installation and training (additional service).

Q5: What is the warranty period?

A: 12 months from the date of shipment for the main machine body. Wear parts (paddles, bearings, seals) are excluded but available at cost.
