Henan Hongke Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. delivered a Φ 2.5×45m zinc oxide rotary kiln line in Kaifeng, Henan. Here's the short version.
Who the Customer Is
A zinc recovery plant in Kaifeng, Henan. They process zinc-bearing residues—steel mill dust, galvanizing waste, similar byproducts—and recover zinc as zinc oxide.
What Problem They Had
Their operation had issues:
Zinc recovery was inconsistent—value lost in slag
Reduction temperature was unstable—ZnO grade varied
Ring formation caused unplanned stops
Fuel consumption was high
Off-gas treatment was marginal
They wanted a line that could handle variable feed, hold stable reduction conditions, and deliver consistent ZnO.
Why They Chose Us
We talked process, not just price – reduction temperature, atmosphere, gas velocity, fume collection
We designed for variable feed – industrial residues, not uniform ore
We took full scope – feed prep, kiln, burner, oxidation chamber, cooling, bag filter, slag quench, PLC
They inspected our factory before signing
We stay available after handover – process support, spare parts
