High-Volume Retail Dry Fertilizer Facility
Featuring Doyle Dual Rotary Blender AUTOBATCH™ Blending System
High-Volume Efficiency
This retail fertilizer facility was engineered to support high-volume operations with advanced automation, precision blending, and a modular design built for long-term growth. With 12,500 tons of dry fertilizer storage housed within a 34,000-square-foot facility, the system efficiently manages demanding throughput requirements while maintaining consistent product quality.
Accurate Repeatable Blends
At the core of the operation is a fully automated Doyle AUTOBATCH™ blending system featuring nine total weigh hoppers, including seven 16-ton hoppers, one 9-ton quad split hopper, and one 9-ton hopper, paired with dual 13-ton rotary blenders. The Dual Rotary AUTOBATCH™ configuration allows operators to blend one batch while loading another, enabling multiple trucks to be loaded simultaneously. With NTEP-certified hoppers and automation, the system delivers accurate, repeatable blends across all batch sizes and supports impregnation with up to four chemicals, making it well suited for prescription blending programs.
High-Capacity Solution
Inbound material is received through a drag conveyor that feeds a bucket elevator, which unloads onto a tri-slide conveyor with a three-way tripper for efficient material distribution throughout the fertilizer warehouse. Designed for both performance and labor efficiency, the facility supports up to eight trucks per hour while requiring only two operators, delivering a streamlined, high-capacity solution for modern retail fertilizer operations.
