What are the appropriate levels for the production capacity, actual output, and finished product inventory of compound fertilizer companies? Let’s discuss it together.
Thread Content
We are a compound fertilizer manufacturer with a production capacity of 500,000 tons per year; our actual output is 150,000 tons per year. Our inventory level remains between 25,000 and 30,000 tons on a continuous basis. Is this normal? How are my colleagues doing? Let’s discuss this together.
It’s basically normal; our inventory with a production capacity of 600,000 tons is between 30,000 and 50,000 tons
Our capacity is 600,000 tons, but the actual output is 300,000 tons; the inventory level remains around 30,000 tons on a long-term basis
30,000 tons over the long term – won’t it clump up after being stored for so long? How to deal with it.
What type of compound fertilizer is it? Reduce moisture and add an anti-caking agent.
There are various formulas available – those with high nitrogen and high potassium, as well as balanced fertilizers. The problem lies in the inaccurate planning. The moisture content is around 0.8. Even so, the storage period cannot exceed 6 months.
The solution for dealing with lumps in one word: shake; P
We also experience bag damage, but firstly it causes powder to scatter, and secondly it contaminates the packaging bags. It’s frustrating.
Efforts need to be made regarding the anti-caking agent
The warranty period for anti-caking agents is 6 months, but in many cases the inventory is stored for several years.
