Rotary kiln (Rotating retort furnace)

aboutWhat is a rotary kiln?

Rotary kiln, also known as a rotating retort furnace, is a heat treatment equipment mainly used for powder materials. The furnace operates by stirring the powder material inside its rotating muffle, ensuring uniform drying and heat treatment. Sun Furnace Co. Ltd is a leading supplier of rotary kilns and provides services from design to installation and maintenance.
The company can offer batch type furnaces that can change atmospheric gas during heat treatment and supply muffles with excellent corrosion and heat resistance.
Sun Furnace Co. Ltd also offers the most suitable product feeding system based on the viscosity of the products to be treated, such as screw type or vibration table type.

problemWe have solved challenges like these:

Interested in utilizing a continuous system with 100% hydrogen, but we have concerns about potential gas leakage.
Continuous processing, from powder feeding to discharge, is challenging to achieve in a batch system.
Preheating is necessary in large machines to introduce a significant volume of gas before operation.

Q&AFrequently Asked Question

Since it can’t be imagined how the treated material will turn out after heat treatment, is it possible to test and see the results ?
We will listen to your requirements and respond if our equipment is suitable. Our motto is “together” and we always start by understanding the customer’s needs. Don’t hesitate to contact us for any consultation, including exams.Consultation for exams.
Is it possible to conduct the heat treatment without nitridization of metallic products?
Hydrogen can be added to the furnace to prevent nitriding. The special seal structure prevents gas leakage and allows for continuous hydrogen flow at low temperatures.
Can Sun Furnace Co.,Ltd control the heat treatment temperature and heat treatment time?
The temperature during powder heat treatment can be directly monitored.
Can Sun Furnace Co.,Ltd propose not only a furnace but also charge and discharge equipment of the products ?
Powder processing requires not only a heating furnace, but also pre- and post- processing equipment and transportation equipment. We can provide not just heat treatment furnaces, but also all necessary pre- and post-processing equipment and transportation equipment, so there’s no need to arrange for each item separately.
