The invention discloses a process for pelleting urea formaldehyde controlled-release compound fertilizer in a high tower, comprising the following processing steps: A, fusing urea; B, mixing with potassium; C, mixing with phosphorus; D, mixing with formaldehyde: mixing the formaldehyde with caustic soda at normal temperature to obtain formaldehyde mixed liquor, enabling the formaldehyde mixed liquor and mixed fusing slurry to flow into a material receiving container, and mixing at the temperature of 80-110 DEG C to form formaldehyde-urea mixed liquor; and E, pelleting in the high tower. The invention has the following beneficial effects: 1, the compound fertilizer provided by the process of the invention contains urea formaldehyde, becomes silk-screen pasty after being dissolved in water,can be absorbed into soil, is difficult to volatilize or run away, can improve the fertilizer utilization ratio by 5-20%, completely accord with the characteristics of urea formaldehyde controlled-release fertilizer and play a role in retaining nitrogen; 2, the compound fertilizer provided by the process of the invention has high grain density, has small possibility of agglomeration, can reduce adhesion and scabbing of equipment, and has high molding ratio and less returned materials; 3, production is not influenced by high-temperature and high-humidity climate and can be carried out in all-weather conditions; and 4, the compound fertilizer is uniformly pelleted and has beautiful appearance.
