The quality of the prepared compound fertilizer is good (impurities have settled and are included in the powder spraying product after shutdown). After shutdown, the remaining material of each structure is sent to the granulation tower for granulation (to be discarded or sold as a low-quality product, etc.), which not only ensures the quality of the product (the slurry at the bottom of each tank contains a lot of impurities), but also avoids material agglomeration and clogging of the equipment.
