Henan Hongke Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. delivered a Φ 2.5×45m rotary kiln for soil remediation in Xiangtan, Hunan. New equipment—not a rebuild. Here's the short version.
Who the Customer Is
A soil remediation contractor in Xiangtan, Hunan. They clean up contaminated industrial sites—soil impacted by oils, pesticides, PCBs, and heavy metals.
What Problem They Had
Their old setup had issues:
Soil from different sites had different contaminants—hard to treat consistently
Temperature control was unstable—results varied
Throughput was too low for project deadlines
Off-gas treatment was marginal
Sticky or abrasive soil caused frequent stops
They wanted a new thermal desorption system: consistent results across soil types, reliable operation, full compliance.
Why They Chose Us
We talked process, not just price – heating rate, residence time, desorption temperature, off-gas handling
We designed for variable soil – different moisture, organics, contaminant profiles
We took full scope – feed prep, kiln, heating, discharge cooling, off-gas treatment, PLC
Brand-new equipment – no refurbished units
They inspected our factory before signing
