AGI BlendPro: New Legal-for-Trade Fertilizer Blending Systems

AGI (Ag Growth International) has enhanced its fertilizer blending offerings into a single branded platform, AGI BlendPro, now available. The line includes four distinct systems, each engineered to address specific blending, throughput, and operational needs while maintaining consistent weight control and accountability. Three of the four systems—Core, Batch, and Flow—are Legal-for-Trade certified, addressing evolving industry weighing and trade standards.

According to Karen Carmichael, senior director of North America Commercial Sales, the platform delivers a range of benefits for retailers: improved blend accuracy and accountability, increased throughput, reduced mixer fill time and loader travel, and simplified day-to-day operations with real-time visibility—all while preserving existing customer workflows.

System	Legal-for-Trade	Metering Method	Blend Location	Key Feature
AGI BlendPro	No	Declining weight w/ volumetric fallback	Screw conveyor	The original, proven declining weight system (requires external scale)
AGI BlendPro Core	Yes	Declining weight only	Screw conveyor	Legal-for-Trade with hopper load cells
AGI BlendPro Batch	Yes	Declining weight; pneumatic gate batches	Batch mixer	Familiar batch-mixing workflow with precise batch accuracy
AGI BlendPro Flow	Yes	Continuous declining weight via belt scale	Screw conveyor	High-capacity continuous blending; fills while running

Across the lineup, weight-based metering through individual hopper scales ensures consistent blend ratios, while NTEP-certified weighing components—hoppers or a belt scale—form the foundation of Legal-for-Trade accuracy.

Each system runs on AGI’s Gen5 controls platform, featuring a redesigned HMI that gives operators instant visibility and faster troubleshooting. Highlights include:

• A clean, modern interface with simplified navigation

• Real-time hopper and conveyor visuals

• Improved alarm visibility and diagnostic tools

• Expandable subsystem views for deeper insight

• Full integration with Plant Manager workflows
