Henan Hongke Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. delivered and commissioned a Φ 2.5×45m zinc oxide rotary kiln line in Tongren, Guizhou. New equipment—not a rebuild. Here's the short version.
Who the Customer Is
A zinc recovery plant in Tongren, Guizhou. They process zinc-bearing industrial residues—steel mill dust and similar byproducts—and recover zinc as zinc oxide.
What Problem They Had
Their old line had issues:
Zinc recovery was inconsistent—value lost in slag
Kiln temperature was unstable—product quality varied
Ring formation caused frequent unplanned stops
Fuel consumption was high
Dust control was marginal
They wanted a new line: higher recovery, stable quality, lower costs, 24/7 operation.
Why They Chose Us
We talked process, not just price – reduction temperature, atmosphere, gas handling
We designed for their actual feed – industrial residues, not standard ore
We took full scope – feed prep, kiln, burner, oxidation chamber, cooling, bag filter, slag quench, PLC
Brand-new equipment – no refurbished units
They inspected our factory before signing

A complete line around a Φ 2.5×45m rotary kiln.
