AGI Fertilizer Systems
The AGI Fertilizer Systems 13- and 16-ton capacity Rotary Drum Blender has one of the highest capacities in the industry. The 38-inch stainless-steel mixing auger comes standard in the 13- and 16-ton rotary drum blenders to enhance the mixing action. The large-diameter trunnion ring and 23,000-pound-capacity trunnion wheels carry the load for smooth and efficient running and better weight distribution due to the modified location of the ring. The discharge features one of the fastest discharge rates in the industry — 6 tons per minute. Engineered for durability and low maintenance, the rotary drum’s solid construction will assure years of dependable service. All outside seams are double-welded for strength and durability. From the steel reinforcement plate to the direct drive gearbox, the Rotary Drum Blender system is the fastest option for batch blending today.

Crustbuster/Speed King
The secret to the Speed King blender is the large diameter-tapered mixing screw. It gently but quickly draws material into the mixing vessel from the load hopper. No feeder screw is required. Each flight of the tapered screw gently moves material into a downward flow, creating a very intense and complete mixing action as it virtually eliminates product degradations.

Adams Fertilizer Equipment
The Adams Direct Drive Blender Series has one of the fastest rotary discharge rates in the fertilizer equipment market, the company says. Thirteen tons move from the weigh hopper to the blender in 90 seconds and 13 tons from the blender to the loadout in 210 seconds. Adams Direct Drive blenders must have a minimum 36-inch conveyor belt to handle the discharge volume. A 24-inch stainless-steel internal mix auger comes standard. A quality blend with fast in-and-out speeds means more loads each day for your business.

AGI Fertilizer Systems
The Tower Blender is designed for high-capacity retail or wholesale use, providing another efficient fertilizer handling option. The six-legged design feature, with larger square footage, allows for more room for service and maintenance. The AGI Fertilizer Systems Tower features the reliable and proven Tapered Auger Vertical Blender, with the option of expanding capacity by adding a second blender. Also standard are up to 18 bins, a collection hopper, and up to four weigh hoppers. The Tower Blend System can be custom-designed to fit blend and capacity requirements up to 300 tons per hour. The Tower is an all-bolt-together design with no field-welding required. The tubular modular design with side cladding assures years of dependable use.

Options can include conditioning and impregnation upon request.

AGI Fertilizer Systems
The Laycote 400, a Dual Ribbon Auger, is a high-capacity coating system that is designed to mix fertilizers and coat liquids and powders quickly and effectively in a continuous blending or coating process. The high-capacity Laycote Dual Ribbon Auger is designed to coat at a maximum capacity of 400 tons per hour (TPH) of urea, although initial R&D testing by the Yargus Engineering Group has shown the capacity to top off at 430 TPH. A smaller-capacity option is also available with the Laycote 200. It can meter out product and coat at rates up to 200 TPH. The Laycote 200 comes complete with a single-ribbon auger and spray system, all controlled with a Layco-Pro Automation-built and programmed PLC control panel.

Doyle Equipment Manufacturing
The AutoBatch Blend System allows for improved inventory control by capturing the actual weight of each product in the blend or with straight product direct loadout. This is one of the fastest systems available for blending large volumes of fertilizer, the company says. When the 24-Ton Rotary Blender is paired with Doyle’s AutoBatch Blend System, it provides a revolutionary advancement in fertilizer blending.
