Henan Hongke Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. delivered a 10,000 TPY active lime rotary kiln line to a customer in Shandong. Here's the short version.
Who the Customer Is
A lime producer in Shandong. They supply local steel mills, chemical plants, and building material producers with active lime.
What Problem They Had
Capacity was too low for contract volumes
Lime reactivity was inconsistent
Fuel consumption was high
Dust emissions had to meet Shandong's strict standards
Manual operation meant variable quality
Frequent maintenance stops
They needed a new lime line—not a rebuild.
Why They Chose Us
We talked process, not just price – limestone properties, preheating, calcination profile, cooling rate
We matched the design to their limestone – particle size, CaO content, impurities
We supplied the full scope – preheater, kiln, cooler, burner, dust collection, controls
We designed for Shandong's emission rules – particulates <10 mg/m³, SO₂ <50 mg/m³, NOx <100 mg/m³
They inspected our factory before signing
