Henan Hongke Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. is currently installing a new ceramsite production line for a customer in Longyan, Fujian. The line is designed for 200 cubic meters per day. Here's the story.
What the Customer Needed
This customer is a building materials producer. They wanted to get into ceramsite—a lightweight material used in construction, insulation, and water treatment. They had local clay and shale. They needed a complete line to turn it into a saleable product.
Their requirements were simple:
200 m³/day capacity
Consistent product quality – uniform size and density
Reliable operation, 24/7
Dust control that meets regulations
Brand-new equipment – no used machines
A complete line – not just a kiln
They also wanted a partner who could supply everything and stick around after installation.
Why They Chose Us
They looked at several suppliers. Here's why they picked us:
We supply the whole line – mixer, granulator, kiln, cooler, screen, dust collection
We built it for their material – sized for their clay, their shale, their target
We delivered brand-new equipment – no refurbished units
We don't disappear – commissioning support, spare parts, technical help
What We Supplied
A complete ceramsite production line with a rotary kiln at its core.
| Key Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 200 m³/day |
| Application | Clay/shale ceramsite |
| Kiln type | Rotary kiln with refractory lining |
| Temp | Up to 1,200°C |
| Drive | Heavy-duty gear with backup |
The line includes:
Raw material storage and feeding
Twin-shaft mixer
Granulator
Rotary kiln
Cooler
Vibrating screen
Dust collector
Conveyors
PLC controls
How It Works – Simple and Straightforward
| Stage | Equipment | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| Mixing | Twin-shaft mixer | Clay is crushed and homogenized |
| Granulation | Granulator | Material is formed into green pellets |
| Calcination | Rotary kiln | Pellets expand at 1,100–1,200°C – become lightweight |
| Cooling | Cooler | Hot product is quenched |
| Screening | Vibrating screen | Product is sorted by size |
The kiln rotates slowly. Internal flights tumble the pellets through the hot gas stream. Uniform heating, consistent expansion, no hot spots.
Installation Progress
The installation is underway. Here's where we are:
| Activity | Status |

| Foundation work | Done |
| Kiln installation | In progress |
