A fertilizer granule making plant produces high-quality pellets using wet or dry granulation. Wet granulation uses a wheel loader feeder → vertical crusher → drum screening machine → dynamic automatic batching system → organic fertilizer granulator → organic fertilizer polishing machine → rotary dryer → rotary cooler → cyclone dust collector → drum screening machine → coating machine → single-drum packaging machine → palletizer while dry granulation uses wheel loader feeder → vertical crusher → drum screening machine → dynamic batching system → horizontal mixer → double-roller extrusion granulator → screening machine → packaging machine. Costs of the granulation depend on capacity: dry lines range from $45,000–$90,000, and wet lines from $240,000–$550,000.

Wet or dry granulation – Which one suits you?

Are you still unsure which granulation method is right for you? Choosing between wet and dry granulation depends on your fertilizer production scale, raw materials, and fertilizer type.

Granulation method choosing

Wet granulation forms fertilizer pellets by adding liquid, such as water, steam, or binder solutions, to powder with 20%–40% moisture. This process produces strong, uniform fertilizer pellets and suits high-capacity fertilizer production lines, complex fertilizers, and organic-inorganic blends. Dry granulation relies entirely on mechanical force, like roller compaction, without any liquid binders. Powder compresses into sheets or blocks, then breaks and screens into pellets. Dry granulation works well for medium or small-scale fertilizer plants and moisture-sensitive materials（ such as urea and calcium nitrate) , reducing energy use and equipment costs while ensuring consistent fertilizer pellets.

What essential equipment is included in a complete fertilizer granule making plant?

Are you curious about the essential equipment in a complete fertilizer granulation line? A wet-process line includes: a wheel loader feeder → vertical crusher → screening machine → dynamic automatic batching system → rotary fertilizer granulator → rotary dryer → rotary cooler → cyclone dust collector →pellet screening machine → coating machine → single-bucket packaging machine → palletizer. A dry-process line includes: dynamic batching system → horizontal mixer → double-roller extrusion granulator → screening machine → packaging machine.

How much does it cost to set up a pellet plant?

Are you considering setting up a fertilizer pelletizing system? The fertilizer granualtion cost depends on both your production capacity and the type of process you choose. For dry-process lines, prices range from around $45,000 for a 5 t/h system, $60,000 for 10 t/h, to $90,000 for 20 t/h. Wet-process lines, on the other hand, cost approximately $240,000 for 5 t/h, $360,000 for 10 t/h, e $550,000 for 20 t/h. This is because wet-process systems include additional equipment such as dryers, refrigeradores, polishing machines, and coating units, while dry-process lines use simpler machinery.
