5TPH Disc Granulator Delivered to Uruguay for Compound Fertilizer Production

Client: Confidential Agricultural Enterprise
Location: Uruguay
Industry: Fertilizer Manufacturing
Product Purchased: 5TPH Disc Granulator (Pan Granulator)
Application: Compound Fertilizer Granulation

Background

As Uruguay continues to expand its agricultural sector, the demand for high-quality compound fertilizer has increased significantly. One Uruguayan fertilizer producer, dedicated to supplying nutrient-rich products to local farmers, decided to upgrade its granulation line to improve productivity, granule uniformity, and production stability.

Challenge

The client previously relied on small-scale pelletizing equipment, which caused several operational issues:

• Inconsistent granule size
• Low production capacity
• High maintenance requirements
• Excessive dust and material loss

To scale operations and meet market demands, the client required a medium-capacity granulation solution with high forming rate, easy operation, and low energy consumption.

Solution

After a thorough needs assessment, the client selected our 5TPH Disc Granulator—an ideal choice for compound fertilizer production using dry powder raw materials such as NPK. The disc granulator is known for its smooth operation, adjustable angle, and high granulation rate of over 90%.

Key Features of the 5TPH Disc Granulator:

• Capacity: 5 tons per hour
• Disc Diameter: 3.0 meters
• Inclination Angle: Adjustable from 40° to 60°
• Granulation Rate: ≥ 90%
• Drive Mode: Motor-driven with stable transmission system
• Structure: Sturdy base with corrosion-resistant disc lining

Implementation

The equipment was carefully packaged and shipped to Montevideo, Uruguay, and installed with the guidance of our remote technical team. The integration with the client’s existing batching and drying systems was completed smoothly, and operators were trained on proper maintenance and process control.

Results

Production Efficiency: Reached stable output of 5 tons per hour within two weeks

Granule Quality: Uniform size distribution and improved roundness

Dust Reduction: Closed working system reduced air pollution and material waste

Maintenance: Lower frequency of breakdowns and simple daily upkeep

Client Feedback

The Uruguayan client was pleased with the equipment’s performance and praised its balance between production efficiency and operational simplicity.

“The 5TPH disc granulator helped us meet our production targets with consistent quality. It’s an efficient, user-friendly solution that supports our long-term growth.” — Technical Director

Conclusion

The successful installation of the 5TPH disc granulator in Uruguay highlights its reliability and value in medium-scale fertilizer production. As demand continues to grow, this case sets a strong example of how modern granulation equipment can upgrade production lines in South American markets.
