Henan Hongke Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. recently commissioned a brand-new Φ2.5×60m rotary kiln for calcium fluoride (fluorspar) processing at a customer site in Haining, Zhejiang, China. This is a completely new production line—not a refurbishment, not an upgrade of old equipment.
The Job: Calcining Calcium Fluoride
Our customer makes high-purity calcium fluoride for the steel, chemical, and glass industries. Their old production line was small, outdated, and couldn't deliver consistent quality. They needed a purpose-built system from the ground up—a modern kiln designed specifically for calcium fluoride calcination, not a repurposed cement or lime kiln.
What We Supplied
A complete brand-new calcination line built around a Φ2.5×60m rotary kiln.
| Key Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Diameter | 2.5 m |
| Length | 60 m |
| Operating temp | 627–827°C |
| Drive | Heavy-duty gear + backup motor |
The new system includes:
Variable-speed screw feeder for consistent slurry/powder feed
Φ2.5×60m kiln with high-alumina refractory lining
Multi-fuel burner (gas or coal)
Multi-stage dust collector
PLC-based automation with full data logging
Why New Equipment Matters
The customer could have gone with used or refurbished equipment—but they didn't. Here's why:
| Reason | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| No hidden wear | Full service life ahead—no surprises |
| Modern controls | Better temperature accuracy, consistent quality |
| Purpose-built design | Not a repurposed cement kiln—designed for fluorite |
| Full warranty | Peace of mind on a new system |
| Latest seals | Better fuel efficiency, lower emissions |
What the Customer Gets
Consistent product quality – stable grain size and strength
24/7 continuous operation – no batch variability
Lower fuel costs – advanced seals and insulation
