Finely ground for easy spreading

Used in the right amount, lime-based fertilizers neutralize acidic soil and release nutrients. Limestone is ground to produce this fertilizer – a task for which our rotor impact mill (type RPM) has a proven track record of success.

Coloring fertilizers

Blue grain is the most popular fertilizer in commercial horticulture. The fertilizer owes its name to the typical color of the individual granules, which simplifies even dosing on the field. If the color is not evenly distributed in the fertilizer, customers will quickly take note of this and perceive it as a defect, even if it has no impact on the effectiveness of the fertilizer. With the twin-shaft batch mixer (type DKX), you can achieve a visibly homogeneous result batch after batch.

The single-shaft continuous mixer (type MFKG) prevents excessive dust formation. The finer the minerals are crushed, the easier they can be distributed. Unfortunately, fine particles generate a lot of dust. One measure to minimize the amount of dust is to evenly moisten the rock powder in the single-shaft continuous mixer.

Success stories

Combimix mixer for potash mine in Canada

May 2017
Potash for the fertilizer industry is produced in the Bethune Potash Mine operated by K+S in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. The mine started off as a “legacy project” during its construction period. BHS-Sonthofen was commissioned with delivering two mixers for dust removal and coloring salts. The Combimix DKXC 7300 was selected for these challenging applications. The mixer impresses with its high throughput rate combined with a short mixing time and high product homogeneity.

Use of rotor impact mill in fertilizer production

April 2017
Grinding technology from the construction industry was used for the first time in the production of fertilizer at the Czech company Lovochemie A.S. A rotor impact mill (RPM) from BHS-Sonthofen breaks ammonium sulphate, replacing many process steps in doing so. The system’s strength lies in its highly consistent grading curve and low cost of operation.
