The working principle of the horizontal organic fertilizer mixer is mainly based on its internal mixing device and unique structural design. Through the action of mechanical force, various fertilizer raw materials are evenly mixed. The specific working principle is as follows:
1. Material entry
The material enters the cylinder of the horizontal organic fertilizer mixer through the feed inlet at one end or top of the mixer. The cylinder is usually placed horizontally or slightly inclined to facilitate the flow and mixing of materials.
2. Mixing device operation
The mixer is equipped with mixing devices inside, commonly including propeller type, blade type, double axis spiral type, etc. When the mixer is started, the motor drives the mixing device to rotate at high speed, and through the blades, screws, or other forms of mixing elements on the mixing device, the materials inside the cylinder are sheared, rolled, and mixed. The design of these stirring elements ensures that the material moves in multiple directions within the cylinder, thereby achieving uniform mixing.
3. Material mixing
The rotating belt of the stirring device forms a complex flow pattern of animal materials inside the cylinder, where friction and collision occur between material particles, allowing various components to fully contact and mix. At the same time, the shape and inclination angle design of the mixer cylinder also contribute to the flow and uniform distribution of materials.
4. Material discharge
When the materials are mixed for the required time and uniformity, the mixer stops stirring and the materials are discharged through the discharge port at the other end of the cylinder, entering the next production process.
5. Self cleaning or manual cleaning
In order to ensure that the next batch of materials is not contaminated, some horizontal mixers are designed with self-cleaning function, which removes residual materials on the inner wall of the cylinder through reverse rotation or other mechanisms. Without self-cleaning function, operators need to perform regular manual cleaning to ensure the hygiene and mixing effect of the equipment.
The horizontal organic fertilizer mixer, with its efficient mixing capacity and adaptability to various materials, can quickly and evenly mix various fertilizer raw materials, and is one of the indispensable key equipment on the organic fertilizer production line.
