The quality of NPK compound fertilizers directly impacts agricultural production efficiency and crop quality. Therefore, NPK fertilizer production lines need to establish a comprehensive quality control system throughout the entire chain, from raw materials to finished products, ensuring accurate nutrient content, excellent stability, and safety compliance.

Raw material control is the foundation of quality. The production line must strictly select nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium raw materials and trace element additives, verifying supplier qualifications and product testing reports. Each batch of raw materials must undergo testing for purity, nutrient content, and impurity content to prevent unqualified materials from entering the warehouse. Simultaneously, based on soil conditions and crop needs, the mixing ratio is precisely calculated, and an intelligent fertilizer blending system is used to control the accuracy of raw material input, keeping errors within a reasonable range to ensure that the nutrient ratio of the fertilizer meets the standards.
The production process is the core of quality and a key competitive advantage for NPK compound fertilizer production lines. The crushing and screening stage refines the granular raw materials to ensure uniform particle size, laying the foundation for subsequent mixing and granulation. Continuous equipment with variable frequency speed control technology is used for mixing and stirring to ensure thorough mixing of raw materials without stratification. The granulation stage selects the appropriate process according to the product type, controlling key parameters such as drum speed, temperature, and humidity to improve particle strength and molding rate. The drying and cooling stages precisely control temperature and time to keep the fertilizer's moisture content within the standard range, preventing caking, deterioration, and nutrient loss.
Full-process testing is the guarantee of quality, running throughout the NPK fertilizer production process. Multiple inspection points are set up to test the particle size and nutrient uniformity of semi-finished products, and unqualified products are promptly returned for reprocessing. Finished products undergo strict sampling inspections, testing indicators such as particle uniformity, nutrient content, pH value, and heavy metal content. Fertilizer efficacy stability tests are also conducted to ensure compliance with national and industry standards. A quality traceability system is established to record production batches, raw material sources, and testing data, enabling traceability and accountability for any problems.
Standardized management is the support for quality. Standardized operating manuals are developed, and operators receive professional training to ensure that process parameters are implemented correctly. Production equipment and testing instruments are regularly inspected and maintained to ensure equipment accuracy and testing accuracy. A job responsibility system is implemented, and quality control is included in performance evaluations, fostering a quality awareness among all employees and ensuring comprehensive quality control throughout the entire process, fundamentally safeguarding the quality of NPK compound fertilizers.
