SOLUTION
NPK fertilizer, which also called compound fertilizer, are fertilizers made by chemical and/or physical methods, with at least two of the three nutrients being labeled as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as micro elements such as Mn/Zn/Cu/Mo etc. Its appearance is granular, strip-shaped, or sheet-like products, with no mechanical impurities.
The common granulation processes for NPK fertilizers include extrusion granulation, drum (steam) granulation, disc granulation, spray granulation, and High tower granulation.
