- Processing equipment related to the raw materials.
- Electrothermal furnaces: used in the production of elemental phosphorus.
- Electrostatic precipitators: used in the purification of gaseous phosphorus.
- Packaging equipment:
- Filling machines: for filling liquid glyphosate into containers.
- Sealing machines: to seal the containers.
- Packaging lines: for the final packaging of the products.
Key considerations in the equipment selection are:
- Corrosion resistance: Many of the chemicals used are corrosive.
- Safety: Due to the potential hazards, stringent safety measures are essential.
- Precision: Accurate control of temperature, pressure, and flow is critical for product quality.
It’s important to note that the specific equipment will vary depending on the manufacturing process and the scale of production.
