FREQUENTLY ASKED HORTICULTURE QUESTIONS

Our advanced mixing technologies support fertilizer and pesticide formulation, enabling precise ingredient extraction, purification and consistent application. This helps improve soil health, increases productivity and supports sustainable horticulture practices.

SPX FLOW’s agitation equipment is designed to handle hazardous chemicals safely, reducing the risk of leaks or releases from pressurized tanks. This minimizes operational risks and supports safe handling practices for horticultural businesses.

When selecting an industrial mixer for fertilizer production, consider the following factors: 1.Material Characteristics: Evaluate properties of raw materials such as particle size, density and moisture content, which influence the mixer type and configuration. 2.Mixing Requirements: Determine the desired mixing intensity, duration and batch size to select a mixer that can meet specific production needs effectively. 3.Corrosion and Wear Resistance: Select a mixer built with corrosion-resistant materials to withstand exposure to fertilizers, which can be abrasive and corrosive over time. 4.Energy Efficiency and Operational Costs: Evaluate the mixer’s energy consumption and maintenance needs to ensure long-term cost-effectiveness.

Choosing the appropriate impeller design is essential for achieving efficient blending and uniform fertilizer consistency. Here’s a guide on available options and selection considerations: Impeller Options: 1.Flat-Blade Impellers: Recommended for low-viscosity or powder fertilizers, these impellers generate gentle flow, suitable for mixing without particle degradation. 2.Axial Flow Impellers: Useful for high-flow applications, axial impellers move material vertically, creating an efficient top-to-bottom mixing ideal for bulk blending of liquid fertilizers. 3.Radial Flow Impellers: Effective for applications requiring intense shear, radial impellers facilitate quick mixing and dispersal, ideal for handling granulated or multi-phase fertilizers. 4.Helical and Anchor Impellers: Suitable for high-viscosity materials, these impellers help scrape the vessel walls to prevent material buildup, ideal for handling sticky or thick fertilizer mixtures. Selection Criteria: 1.Material Characteristics: Consider particle size, density and moisture content to choose the mixer and impeller type that will best handle these properties without clogging or wear. 2.Desired Mixing Intensity: High-shear impellers are optimal for thorough blending of complex mixtures, while low-shear options are better for maintaining the integrity of fragile particles. 3.Batch Size and Production Speed: For large-scale continuous production, horizontal mixers with axial impellers may be most efficient. Smaller, batch-focused production often benefits from paddle or ribbon mixers. 4.Compatibility with Corrosive Materials: Select impeller and mixer materials that are resistant to corrosion to handle fertilizer components that may be abrasive or reactive over time.
