Fertilizer

Raw materials
1. Ammonium nitrate
2. Potassium chloride

Process
1. The different compounds are granulated and blended together by putting the solid materials into a rotating drum which has an inclined axis. As the drum rotates, pieces of the solid fertilizer take on small spherical shapes.
2. A coating of inert dust is applied to the particles, keeping each one discrete and inhibiting moisture retention and the particles is then dried. 
3. The different types of particles are blended together in appropriate proportions to produce a composite fertilizer. The blending is done in a large mixing drum that rotates a specific number of turns to produce the best mixture possible.
