Abstract: This study investigated the effect of the angle between the blade and the inclined disc on particle trajectory correction during ejection from an organic fertilizer side-throwing device. Using the inclined disc device as the test subject, a blade-based coordinate system was established to model the complex relative particle motion under combined disc and blade inclination. Particle dynamics and blade forces were analyzed quadrantally, enabling the development of a mechanical model and the derivation of displacement equations. Numerical simulation, virtual simulation, and experimental testing yielded the following results: Under the current device parameters, the relative velocity between particles and the blade reaches its maximum when the angle between the blade and the inclined disc is 80°. Within the angle range from 65° to 85°, as the angle increases, the scattering angle of single-sided discs monotonically decreases, while that of dual-sided discs monotonously increases. At an angle of 65°, the trajectories of the dual-sided disc flows tend to converge. At 80°, the flow is at the critical point between convergence and divergence. The effective throwing distance first increases and then decreases, reaching a maximum at an angle of 80°. This study clarifies the relationship between the angle correction of blade–disc inclination and particle velocity and trajectory on the blade, providing a reliable mathematical model and simulation method for similar studies in the field of inclined disc centrifugal material ejection.
