Zimbabwe’s BB fertilizer mixer has been successfully shipped

Release time：August 19, 2025

Recently, a customized BB fertilizer mixer for a Zimbabwean customer was loaded at the port and is about to depart for Africa. This equipment, a core component ordered by a local agricultural cooperative to improve fertilizer production efficiency, signals the continued growth of Chinese fertilizer equipment in the African market.

This BB fertilizer mixer features numerous customized designs tailored to the specific agricultural landscape of Zimbabwe. Considering the predominantly cultivated crops of corn and tobacco, the equipment features an optimized mixing chamber structure, achieving a 96% uniformity in the mixing of basic fertilizers like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium with trace elements, ensuring balanced nutrient content and meeting the precise fertilization needs of different crops. Furthermore, the equipment is compatible with local voltage standards and features a dust- and rain-resistant casing, making it suitable for Africa’s hot and dusty climate, ensuring long-term stable operation.

During initial discussions, the customer repeatedly emphasized the importance of production efficiency. To this end, this mixer utilizes twin-ribbon mixing technology, reducing mixing time to just 2 minutes per batch and capable of processing 8 tons of raw materials per hour, a 40% increase in production capacity compared to traditional equipment. The user interface supports both English and Shona, and is equipped with an intelligent fault diagnosis system, allowing workers to take up their posts after minimal training, significantly reducing operation and maintenance costs.

“This equipment will help us achieve localized fertilizer production and reduce our reliance on imports,” said the head of a Zimbabwean agricultural cooperative during a video acceptance inspection. The cooperative plans to build a small-scale BB fertilizer production line based on this mixer, with an estimated annual production capacity of 5,000 tons, serving over 200 surrounding farms and contributing to increased agricultural production and income.

From order confirmation to equipment delivery, the technical team provided customized solution consultation throughout the entire process, demonstrating equipment details in advance through 3D modeling and arranging remote video testing to ensure performance met specifications. This delivery is not only a successful business collaboration but also a vivid example of how Chinese equipment is contributing to the modernization of African agriculture. In the future, we will continue to deepen our presence in the African market, provide fertilizer production solutions that better meet local needs, and allow “Made in China” to benefit more developing countries.
