The coloring in the NPK fertilizer production may be a practical consideration for manufacturers wishing to differentiate their products in the market or indicate different nutrient compositions. Although the color of the fertilizer does not directly affect its effectiveness, it can play a role in branding, marketing and even application management. In general, there exists 3 commonly used methods for coloring NPK fertilizers. YUSHUNXIN can provide you with the best equipment for each method to quickly color your NPK fertilizers.
Top 3 methods for coloring NPK fertilizers
According to needs, three types of coloring methods are popular with NPK compound fertilizer manufacturers :
Coating NPK granules with color
Generally, for the manufacture of NPK granules, applying a coat of color is the most effective way to make fertilizer colored. This method involves spraying a pigment solution onto the granules after drying. Ici, la coating machine has a spray system that controls the uniform addition of color powder. What's more, this process can be used for the functional addition of coating, for example by coating the pellets with resin to produce controlled release fertilizers.
How to complete pigmentation in NPK fertilizer granulation process?
If you want to change the color of NPK fertilizer during the pellet making process, we recommend purchasing a weighing machine and fertilizer mixer. The first allows precise control of the feed volume of NPK materials and pigments. The second mixes the NPK material evenly with the pigments, allowing you to obtain granules of uniform color according to the desired shade.
Is there a Method for Coloring NPK Fertilizers with Water Soluble Dyes ?
It is also possible to color NPK fertilizer with water-soluble dyes during granulation, especially if you use a disc granulator or a rotary granulator. These machines can be equipped with a liquid spraying device, allowing strict control of the addition of dyes and the humidity of the granules. This allows you to produce NPK granules with more vibrant and uniform colors.
