What is Fertilizer Powder?
Fertilizer powders are essential materials used to deliver vital nutrients to support plant growth and improve soil quality. Traditionally associated with agriculture, fertilizers are increasingly being utilized in non-agricultural industries, such as hydroponics, green roofing systems, and controlled environmental agriculture (CEA) for urban farming. Additionally, fertilizers play a critical role in bioengineering, soil stabilization for construction, and biodegradable packaging materials, where their nutrient-rich compositions and sustainable properties are leveraged.
The growing diversification of fertilizer applications means particle size uniformity is more critical than ever. For use in hydroponic systems or controlled-release fertilizers, precise particle sizes ensure consistent solubility and nutrient delivery. In green roofing systems or soil stabilization, fertilizers must meet exacting size specifications to ensure proper integration and deliver top tier performance. Traditional sieving methods often struggle with fertilizers, as their fine, sometimes sticky particles can lead to clumping, mesh blinding, and inconsistent results.
Elcan Industries has extensive experience in screening and refining fertilizer powders for advanced applications. Our Hi-Sifter high energy screening machines technology provides the energy necessary to prevent mesh blinding and ensure precise particle size control. For challenging applications, such as controlled-release fertilizers or ultra-fine powders for hydroponics, the Hi-Sifter can sieve fertilizers down to 10 microns, ensuring even particle distribution. When finer separations are required, our Elbow Jet Air Classifier offers an air classification solution capable of classifying fertilizers to as fine as 1 micron on a large scale.
