5 T/H Compound Fertilizer Plant Setup in Yemen
On September 5th, 2024, a client from Sana’a, Yemen, reached out to Yushunxin with a fertilizer production plan. The client aimed to establish a 3-5 t/h compound fertilizer factory in Amanat Alasimah, Sana’a, leveraging the region’s rich mineral resources. Particularly, calcium, phosphor, magnesium, potassium, and urea, make his company feasible to utilize these raw materials for mineral fertilizer production. Moreover, the customer’s goal is to produce high-quality compound fertilizer pellets to export to neighboring Oman and Saudi Arabia. Thus, he sought a reliable and efficient solution for both the compound fertilizer factory layout and equipment selection.
How to Design A 1,000 ㎡ Compound Fertilizer Granule Plant Layout in Yemen?
The Yemeni customer had rent a 1,000㎡ factory space in the industrial outskirts of Sanaa. The location is advantageous due to its proximity to the capital, though it comes at a higher rental cost of $18,000 per month. Additionally, he said it is extremely short of water, and fertilizer production relies on expensive groundwater at $4-5/m³. However, power outages and unstable electricity supply are frequent concerns. The client requested a cost-effective and efficient solution that addressed these problems.
Complete BB Fertilizer Production Line
In response, we provided a comprehensive factory layout plan in Yemen and a customized solution for free. Considering the 3-5 t/h capacity, we suggested a small-scale compound fertilizer granulation line alongside a 5 t/h bulk blending fertilizer manufacturing line. Also, the fertilizer granulation workshop would require approx. 300 m³, while the bb fertilizer mixing line would occupy around 500 square meters. So the workshop remaining 200 square meters could serve as raw material storage or warehousing.
How to Save Water for Compound Fertilizer Pellet Production in Yemeni Fertilizer Factory?
For water conservation policy in Yemen, we proposed a dry granulation solution. This equipment a perfect fit for processing mineral materials like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and urea into granules, only under the pressure of rollers, without the need for water. Besides, we recommended two units of SXDG-2T double roller granulators to meet the customer’s 5 t/h compound fertilizer granulation need. Indeed, this granulator works efficiently without the need for drying, cooling, or dust removal processes, which is ideal for producing high-quality compound fertilizers while reducing water usage and electricity consumption.
Which Equipment You Can Choose for 5 T/H Compound Fertilizer Blending Plant?
Initially, we asked if the client intended to use raw mineral ores for fertilizer production, which requires Raymond mills for crushing. However, the mining, processing, and equipment procurement costs are high. Finally, he opted to purchase mineral powder for bb fertilizer production at a price of $300-500 per ton. For the granulation process, we equipped the facility with a loader type feeder to directly convey powders into roller press granulators. And a granule screening machine ensures uniform compound fertilizer particle sizes, while a chain crusher handles the recycling of mineral materials for re-granulation.
For bulk blended fertilizer mixing, we customized 5 bins of batching machine for our clients, as they need to blend 5 types of compound granules. We recommended to buy a small BB fertilizer mixer suitable for mixing 5 t/h bb fertilizers and a 6m bucket elevator for feeding. To optimize labor costs, we advised the use of a double-bucket automatic packing machine, which requires only 1-2 workers for operation.
How Much to Buy A 5 T/H Mineral Fertilizer Blending Production Line?
the total cost for the 5 t/h compound fertilizer production equipment stands at $69,630, excluding shipping and installation costs. Yushunxin offered a 10% discount, bringing the total to $62,667 (15.69 million YER). Below is a breakdown of the equipment, their capacities, power requirements, quantities, and individual prices:
| Name | Capacity | Power | Quantity | Price |
| SXFM-2030 Loader Type Feeder | 4 kw | 1 Set | $4,050 | |
| SXPJ-1800 Disc Feeder | 3-5 T/H | 7.5 kw | 1 Set | $2,000 |
| SXDG-2T Double Roller Granulator | 2 T/H | 22 kw | 2 Sets | $7,140 |

| B800 Belt Conveyor | Customized, 6-10 m length | 5.5 kw | 10 Sets | $20,890 |
| Total | 159.2 kw | $69,630 |
How to Solve The Power Supply in 5 TPH Yemeni Fertilizer Factory?
Considering the power instability in Yemen, the electricity of 5t/h compound fertilizer blending line requires 159.2 kW. For basic infrastructure, we estimated the total energy demand is at 200 kW. To meet these needs, we recommended a SXCF-200 diesel generator with an output power of 300 kW and the discharge of 7.15 L. Furthermore, diesel costs in Yemen are relatively low, at $0.4662 per liter, so diesel-generated power becomes a cost-effective solution. If this 5 t/h mineral fertilizer factory runs for 10 hours per day, the daily energy cost would be approx. 33.37 USD.

What Is The Shipment Plan of 5 TPH BB Fertilizer Production Line to Yemen?
After multiple communications, the customer came to visit our plant on October 10, 2024, and paid a 40% deposit. We completed the 5 t/h bb fertilizer equipment production on October 20th and the Yemeni customer paid the final payment. The bulk blend production line equipment would first be shipped in 2 containers from our factory to the Port of Shanghai on October 27. The estimated shipping time to the Port of Aden, Yemen, is around 35 days. So two 40GP container FOB Shanghai Fees are totally at 6,806 USD. After arrival, there are additional 5-7 days for customs clearance and inland transportation to customer’s factory in Sanaa. Last, our installation team arrived client’s site on December 10th, offering training to the customer’s staff. Whatever, Yushunxin guarantees timely delivery and professional after-sales support.
