Henan Hongke Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. delivered a 200,000 TPY zinc oxide rotary kiln line to a customer in Tianjin. Here’s the short version.
Who the Customer Is
A zinc recovery plant in Tianjin. They process zinc-bearing residues—steel mill dust, galvanizing ash—and recover zinc as zinc oxide for rubber, ceramics, and paint industries.
What Problem They Had
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 needed a line that could handle variable feed, hold stable reduction conditions, and deliver consistent ZnO at scale.
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
What We Supplied
A complete line around a Φ3.2×60m rotary kiln.
