Frequently asked questions

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.

What types of fertilizers can Agimix conveyors move?

Agimix conveyors are designed to move a wide range of fertilizers, including fine powders, granules, crumbles and mixtures such as NPK, urea, superphosphate, potassium chloride and others. Our equipment is robust to deal with the specific characteristics of each material, such as abrasiveness and hygroscopicity.

How do Agimix conveyors ensure operational safety in fertilizer plants?

Operational safety is guaranteed through projects that include efficient sealing systems to contain dust, protective grids, safety sensors, emergency stops and compliance with NR-12. Furthermore, we offer options for explosion-hazardous environments (ATEX), minimizing risks for operators and facilities.

Is it possible to integrate Agimix conveyors with other equipment on my production line?

Yes, Agimix is ​​a specialist in systems integration. Our conveyors are designed to connect perfectly with other equipment on your production line, such as big bag unloaders, mixers, granulators, baggers and silos and moegas, creating a continuous and automated process flow.

What is the difference between tubular and trough screw conveyors for fertilizers?

The tubular screw conveyor is ideal for transporting powdered or finely granulated materials in environments where total containment of the material and protection against external contamination are crucial, in addition to allowing greater slopes. The trough conveyor screw is more suitable for large volumes and materials that do not require hermetic sealing, facilitating cleaning and maintenance in some cases.

How does Agimix deal with corrosion and abrasion caused by fertilizers?

To combat corrosion and abrasion, we use specific construction materials such as stainless steel (304, 316L) and special high-resistance steels, such as Hardox, in the parts in contact with the fertilizer. Additionally, we apply protective coatings and manufacturing techniques that increase equipment life in aggressive environments.

Are Agimix conveyors suitable for moving hygroscopic fertilizers?

Yes, our conveyors can be adapted to move hygroscopic fertilizers. This includes the use of improved sealing systems, designs that minimize exposure to air and, when necessary, integration with dehumidification or inerting systems to preserve product quality.

Does Agimix offer complete solutions for fertilizer movement, from unloading to bagging?

Yes, Agimix offers turnkey solutions for the movement of fertilizers, ranging from the unloading of raw materials (with big bag unloaders or sack-ripping hoppers) to feeding into bagging machines, going through all the intermediate stages of transportation, dosing and mixing. Our goal is to optimize the entire logistics flow of your factory.

How important is a solids descaler in a fertilizer transport line?

A solids degrumador is crucial in fertilizer lines to break up clumps or lumps that can form during storage or transportation. This guarantees a continuous and homogeneous flow of the material, preventing clogging in the conveyors and optimizing the efficiency of subsequent processes, such as mixing and granulation.

Can conveyors be designed for different production capacities?

Yes, Agimix designs and manufactures conveyors with various production capacities, from small pilot lines to large industrial plants. Capacity is adjusted according to the volume of material to be moved per hour, product density and each customer's specifications, ensuring the most appropriate and efficient solution.
