On August 20th, 2023, we received an inquiry from Mr. Sunil, a representative in the fertilizer production industry from Sri Lanka. Lebih-lebih lagi, Sunil’s company was searching for a fertilizer mixing plant with a capacity of 2-3 ton per jam. Secara khusus, he requested several types of equipment: a ribbon type mixing machine, Granulator Disc, rotary dryer, pendingin, Mesin penyaringan, and packing machine. Selain itu, he also asked for the best CIF Colombo price, layout drawings and installation costs for our engineers.
Granular Manufacturing Requirements of Sri Lankan Customer
Actual Production Needs
- Sunil’s company plans to establish an NPK fertilizer blending plant in Sri Lanka, specifically in the remote industrial region of Colombo. And he wanted fertilizer production equipment with the output of 2-3 th. Lebih-lebih lagi, he said his company buys graphite, apatite, phosphate, Kaolinite, ball clay and brick clay from local suppliers for use in NPK fertilizer granulation. Di samping itu, setting up a fertilizer plant in Sri Lanka promises significant benefits for local farmers and the agricultural sector. Karena itu, they produce fertilizer pellets to sell for local tea, rubber or coconut plantations.
Fund Investment
- Lebih-lebih lagi, he hoped us to make a simple NPK fertilizer production line’s layout drawings. nyatanya, in Colombo, the lowest industrial factory sales prices is $300 per meter persegi. Our engineer free designed 2-3th NPK granulation plant drawings, about 1800㎡ luas lahan. Dengan demikian, we estimated establishing such a small compound fertilizer plant needs $600,000USD (190 million LKR). Khas, he said he only had the budget of $50,000USD (16 million LKR) to reduce costs. Dengan demikian, he hoped we can offer an appropriate NPK fertilizer production proposal for his actual needs.
A Cost-effective NPK Fertilizer Granulation Plan We Offer for Sri Lankan Customer!
Fertilizer Mixing Machine for Efficient Blending
Single Shaft Horizontal Mixer
At the beginning, Sunil asked if we have ribbon type mixer. Pertama, we recommended the most suitable mixer for NPK blending plant – Mixer Pupuk BB. Namun, its capacity is beyond his actual production situation. So we purposed SXWJ-7015, at $1800USD, a horizontal mixer meeting his output requirements. Compared to ribbon mixer, it can fully mix NPK compounds, ensuring even distribution of the components in the NPK fertilizer. Juga, it has good adaptability to materials of different particle size and density, and can handle a variety of raw materials. Yang terpenting, our equipment has spiral blades, which have a certain crushing function in the face of massive phosphate fertilizer and kaolin.
Wet Granulator for NPK Fertilizer Powder Aggregation
A wet granulator effectively aggregates NPK fertilizer powder. Jadi, itu Granulator Disc efficiently processes raw materials such as graphite, apatite, phosphate, Kaolinite, ball clay, and brick clay. Selain itu, we can install a water-spray device to enhance granulation effect. Whatever, Sunil can get 2-3 ton of round compound fertilizer pellets pre hour with the diameter of 3-4mm. Above all, we can also design a single dust-proof chamber to maintain a cleaner operational environment and prevent dust spill. In short, itu 2-3th pan granulator costs $3,825, providing excellent value for its capabilities. Di samping itu, adding a dust chamber costs an additional $2,000. Akibatnya, the disc granulator, with optional enhancements, is an excellent choice for NPK fertilizer powder pelletizing.

What Peralatan tambahan Does The Sri Lankan Customer Choose?
Keeping <10% Moisture in NPK Granules By YSX Machines
Rotary Drum Dryer
Maintaining moisture levels below 10% in NPK granules is crucial for quality and longevity. Pertama, we recommended a rotary drum dryer and a cooler for this Sri Lankan customer. Because the former process of NPK granules production uses wet granulation. At this time, these particles contain approximately 20% moisture, which makes storage and transportation challenging. A dryer effectively reduces the moisture content to 2-5%, ensuring the granules packing and selling. Selain itu, a rotary cooler prevents the granules from cracking by providing a lower temperature.
In terms of cost, a drum dryer with a capacity of 2-3 ton per jam costs approximately $10,125. For the same capacity, he needed a slightly smaller cooler model, around $7,800. Umumnya, our factory also supply a 6C induced draft fan and a hot air furnace to enhance the drying and cooling processes. Given the availability of agricultural waste in the local area, we recommend a biomass pellet burner. This burner is both eco-friendly and cost-effective, promoting sustainable energy use. Lebih-lebih lagi, the air fan costs approximately $2,500, while the hot air furnace is priced at $3,700.
NPK Granule Screening Machine & Packing Scale for Sale
Producing NPK granules requires efficient equipment. A rotary screening machine and a granule packaging scale are highly necessary. These machines offer significant benefits. Misalnya, the rotary screening machine ensures precise particle size separation, enhancing product quality. Juga, the granule packaging scale guarantees accurate and speedy packaging, reducing labor costs. Dengan demikian, a screening machine with a capacity of 2-3 ton per jam costs about $1,670. Meanwhile, a granule packaging scale with the same capacity costs about $4,000. Investing in these machines optimizes the production process and increases overall efficiency. Karena itu, they represent valuable additions to any NPK granule manufacturing plant setup.
Transportation Scheme untuk NPK Fertilizer Granulation Line to Colombo
For the entire fertilizer production line, we estimated the total transaction price to be around $37,420. Considering the exchange rates provided by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, this equates to approximately 11,908,054 LKR. After negotiations, we offered a 10% diskon, bringing the total cost down to $33,678, or roughly 10,717,248 LKR.
So Sunil visited our plant and gave us a 40% down payment on September 6th, 2023. The transportation plan involved shipping the equipment from Shanghai Port in China to the Port of Colombo in Sri Lanka.
Kemudian, we delivered these equipment from our plant on September 15th, 2023. The estimated shipping cost was $3,250, with two 40GP container and a transit time of approximately 23 days. And it arrived in Colombo on October 8th, 2023.
Akibatnya, two of our engineers arrived at Sunil’s plant in Sri Lanka on October 12th, 2023. And, he generously paid for two round-trip tickets totaling $2,000. The layout of the npk fertilizer plant was completed in a total of 5 days, and this customer paid us $1500 for the installation. Finally, the customer started production operations on October 20th, 2023.
