Henan Hongke Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. just got acceptance for a Φ 3×36m rotary kiln line for non-ferrous metal smelting in Ganzhou, Jiangxi. The customer signed off, and the line is now in production. Here's the story.
What the Customer Needed
This customer runs a non-ferrous smelting plant in Ganzhou. They process tungsten, rare earths, and other metals. Their old equipment was outdated—quality was inconsistent, and they couldn't hit their throughput targets.
They needed:
Consistent smelting results – stable product quality
24/7 operation to meet demand
Precise temperature control – critical for metal recovery
Dust and gas control that meets environmental rules
Brand-new equipment – no used machines
A complete line, not just a kiln
They also wanted a supplier who would stick around after acceptance.
Why They Chose Us
They looked at several suppliers. Here's why they picked us:
We know non-ferrous smelting – high temps, aggressive materials, tight process control
We built it for their material – sized for their feed, their moisture, their chemistry
We supplied the whole line – kiln, burner, dust collection, controls, everything
We don't disappear – spare parts, technical help, maintenance advice
What We Supplied
A complete smelting line built around a Φ 3×36m rotary kiln.
| Key Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Diameter | 3.0 m |
| Length | 36 m |
| Application | Non-ferrous metal smelting |
| Temp | Up to 1,300°C |
| Drive | Heavy-duty gear with backup |
The system includes:
Controlled feed system
Φ 3×36m rotary kiln with high-alumina refractory
Multi-fuel burner (gas or coal)
Dust collector (cyclone + bag filter)
Discharge and cooling system
PLC controls with temperature monitoring
How It Works – Simple and Effective
| Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Feed | Raw material enters through a controlled feeder |
| Heating | Material heats up as it moves through the kiln |
| Reaction | At high temp, metals are reduced or roasted |
| Discharge | Processed material exits the kiln |
| Gas treatment | Exhaust goes through dust collection before release |
The drum rotates slowly. Internal flights lift and shower the material through the hot gas stream. Uniform contact, consistent processing, no hot spots.
Acceptance Results – Passed
The system has passed acceptance. Here's how it performed:
| What We Checked | Result |
|---|---|
| Installation | Completed on schedule |
| Mechanical testing | Smooth, normal bearing temps |
| Temperature control | Achieved setpoints within tolerance |
| Product quality | Met customer specs |
| Emissions | Within regulatory limits |
| Acceptance | Passed – customer approved |
The line is now in production.
What the Customer Got
| Benefit | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Consistent smelting quality | Uniform results, batch after batch |
| Reliable operation | Built for 24/7, less downtime |
| Precise temperature control | Multi-zone monitoring for optimal processing |
| Environmental compliance | Emissions under control |
| Lower operating costs | Optimized fuel use, less maintenance |
| Full support | Commissioning, spare parts, technical help |
| Brand-new reliability | No hidden wear, full service life ahead |
