Product Details

Henan Hongke Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. is proud to announce the successful trial run of a Φ2.5×55m catalyst rotary kiln production line at our customer's site in Hubei, China. This is a brand-new system—built from the ground up for high-precision catalyst calcination.


Why This Customer Chose Us

Our customer in Hubei is a well-established chemical producer specializing in industrial catalysts. They were looking for a reliable partner who could deliver a complete, modern calcination system—not just a machine, but a solution that would give them consistent product quality, low operating costs, and long-term peace of mind.

They had clear requirements:

  • Uniform product quality – every batch must meet the same high standard

  • Precise temperature control – critical for catalyst performance

  • Inert gas capability – for sensitive catalyst grades

  • 24/7 reliability – no unexpected downtime

  • Brand-new equipment – no refurbished or second-hand units

We listened. Then we delivered.


What We Supplied

A complete, custom-engineered calcination line built around a Φ2.5×55m indirect-fired rotary kiln.

Key FeatureSpecification
Kiln size2.5 m diameter × 55 m length
Heating typeIndirect (external) – no combustion gases touch the product
Temperature range400–1,000°C (zoned control)
Temperature accuracy±5°C
AtmosphereAir, nitrogen, or reducing gas – fully controllable

The system includes:

  • Precision screw feeder for consistent material feed

  • Multi-zone electric/gas-fired heating furnace

  • Inert gas sealing system

  • Product cooling section

  • Multi-stage dust collection

  • PLC-based automation with full data logging


Why Indirect Heating Matters

Catalysts are sensitive. Any contamination from combustion gases can ruin their performance. That's why we used an indirect-fired design—the kiln shell is heated from the outside, so the catalyst never comes into contact with flame or flue gas. This ensures product purity and allows precise control of the processing atmosphere.


How We Ensure Quality

FeatureWhat It Delivers
Zoned temperature controlDifferent temperatures along the kiln length – exactly as the process requires
±5°C accuracyConsistent product properties, batch after batch
Inert gas sealsProtects oxygen-sensitive catalyst materials
Variable speed driveAdjust residence time to fine-tune product characteristics
Automated monitoringLess manual work, fewer errors

Trial Run Results – Confirmed

The trial run proved the system performs exactly as designed:

  • Temperature stable – all zones hold setpoint within ±5°C

  • Atmosphere secure – inert gas maintained throughout

  • Product quality confirmed – first batches met all customer specifications

  • Ready for 24/7 operation – system runs smoothly with minimal supervision


What This Means for Our Customer

BenefitValue
