Zellwood, Fla.—Anuvia Plant Nutrients has begun large-scale production at its newly-constructed plant in Zellwood, Fla. The A.J. Sackett and Sons Co. on March 11 announced the commissioning of the new facility. Sackett partnered with Anuvia to design a plant to process organic materials into homogenous Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizers (EEF) (GM July 20, 2015). The process uses a patented technology to create an organic matrix – a unique slow-release mechanism that delivers nutrients that meet the needs of turf, specialty, and agricultural markets. The first products are SymTRX™ for the agricultural market and GreenTRX™ for turf and specialty markets. Sackett designed, detailed, and fabricated the process and handling equipment to Anuvia’s specifications. “The Anuvia products emphasize sustainability and commitment to the 4R Nutrient Stewardship philosophy to use the right source at the right rate at the right time and at the right place. Our products provide a predictable, slow release of nutrients, while at the same time contributing to better soil health,” said Hugh MacGillivray, Anuvia’s executive vice president, marketing and business development. “Our work with Anuvia and the creation of the Zellwood facility is one more step in Sackett’s commitment to engineering and building high-efficiency equipment that supports the 4R Nutrient Stewardship philosophy and the overall trend toward better nutrient stewardship,” said Charles Formisani, Sackett vice president of sales. Capacity at the plant is expected to be approximately 80,000 st/y. The product will be an organic/conventional mix, with a ratio of approximately 16-84 percent, respectively, and will be dry and granular.
