On September 20, 2023, we received an inquiry from Ms. Winny, a representative of an Indonesian company. Also, she expressed her company’s interest in purchasing a compactor machine with specific technical specifications. Meanwhile, they were planning to set up a mini NPK fertilizer factory in Indonesia and were in search for a reliable and efficient granulation plan. And she told us some technical parameters of their required equipment.
What Are N-fertilizer Granule Manufacturing Requirements of The Indonesian Customer?
inny’s company, is located in the industrial region near the outer suburbs in Jakarta. And it’s setting up an NPK fertilizer plant with a production capacity of 500-1000 kg/h. Indonesia itself is a large urea producer and has a certain capacity for nitrogen fertilizer production. And she said they are in Indonesian capital with continent transportation. So they can purchase locally or import nitrogen source materials easily, like urea, ammonium sulfate and ammonium nitrate.
Additionally, the rich deposits of natural gas, coal, and various minerals further support the feasibility of this project. However, she hoped we could offer a cost-effective nitrogen fertilizer granulation line. Because the industrial land prices is very expensive in the capital of Indonesia, which average around $400 per square meter. Thus, Winny’s goal is to produce high-quality N-fertilizer with small output in the local agricultural market in Jakarta.
What Is 1 TPH N-fertilizer Granulator Suitable for Indonesian Customer?
1TPH Model Double Roller Press Granulator
Considering Winny’s production output, we recommended the SXDG-1T to her for making 1TPH N-fertilizer granules. This model of double roller extrusion granulator is about $3,500USD. So it completely suits to her company’s capacity. However, we told this customer that our granulator spends 15kw power rather than that they wanted 11 kw. This is because our roll extruder granulation machine has a faster granulation effect. Also, under normal operation, you can make a small batch of nitrogen fertilizer pellets in 1-2 minutes from feed to discharge. With a 15kw pelletizer operating for 8 hours a day, the monthly electricity consumption would be approximately 3600kWh. As a result, you will offset manageable electricity costs by increased productivity and efficiency.
Buying Double Roller Extrusion Granulator with Customization Service from Yushunxin!
Additionally, Winny said they wanted stainless steel as the granulator main material. And her need to produce 5mm diameter round N-fertilizer granules. So we customized 5mm diameter of round ball socket on the roller skin.
Besides, we also recommended our new “4Cr13” material for enhanced durability and performance of dual rollers over conventional stainless steel.
Then, Winny didn’t want to buy a rotary screening machine to separate round N-fertilizer granules for reducing costs. Then, we proposed customizing a secondary screen at the granulator’s discharge port to avoid the purchase other equipment.
Finally, the total customization fees is $500.
What Auxiliary Equipment Does The Jakarta Customer Choose?
Urea Crusher for NPK Fertilizer Production
After reviewing our proposal, Winny expressed interest in additional equipment to complement this 1t/h roller extruder granulator. Due to high-standard need for input size (<0.4mm), we recommend the urea crusher which is suitable for grinding N-fertilizer materials. Moreover, it can get 0.3-0.5mm size of nitrogen fertilizer power. What’s more, it has an appropriate price of $2,000USD.
Then, Winny’s company required N-fertilizer granules with 1-8% input moisture content. But we told her the extrusion granulation process demands around 20% moisture to facilitate effective powder aggregation. Therefore, we recommended a horizontal mixer for uniformly blending raw materials with water or a binder. Also, it costs $1800USD. Furthermore, considering Indonesia’s humid climate, a drum dryer would be essential to ensure the quality of the NPK fertilizer granules. And it costs $5,600USD.
In a word, we send the pictures of all the equipment together with the on-site video and parameters to the customer. Finally, we issued the entire quotation, and the customer confirmed the purchase of 1tph granulator, blender, dryer and crusher and belt conveyors. So the total equipment cost is $22,500 (370 million IDR).
What Is The Transportation Plan for Indonesian Customer?
s Winny agreed to this order and paid 30% deposit, about $6,750. Moreover, we would complete the packing and delivery of all the equipment of this N-fertilizer granule production program on September 28th, 2023. Alao, we have leased a 40ft container to ship from Qingdao port. Then, it took 12 days to reach the Tanjung Priok Port in Jakarta, Indonesia, on October 14th, 2023. Thus, this total transportation cost was about $650. Finally, these equipment were installed successfully in the industrial area in Greater Jakarta, on October 21th, 2023.
We not only met Winny’s initial requirements but also provided a comprehensive solution to ensure optimal production efficiency. Also, Yushunxin prides itself on delivering high-quality fertilizer production equipment, including mixers, dryers, and mills, to cater to diverse manufacturing needs.
