Henan Hongke Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. just commissioned a 120-ton-per-day sludge incineration rotary kiln line in Jiujiang, Jiangxi. The system is now in production. Here's the story.
What the Customer Needed
This customer runs a waste treatment facility in Jiujiang. They handle wet, sticky sludge from local industrial and municipal sources. Their old setup couldn't keep up—equipment clogged, disposal costs kept rising, and emissions were hard to control.
They needed:
A kiln that could handle wet, sticky sludge without constant clogs
Significant volume reduction
Emissions that meet environmental rules
24/7 operation with minimal downtime
Brand-new equipment—no used or refurbished machines
A complete line—not just a kiln
Why They Chose Us
They talked to several suppliers. Here's why they picked us:
We know sludge – it's not like lime or cement; it sticks and varies
We built it for their material – sized for their moisture, their organic content, their target
We supplied the whole line – kiln, burner, dust collection, controls, everything
We stay after commissioning – spare parts, technical help, maintenance advice
What We Supplied
A complete sludge incineration line designed for 120 tons per day.
| Key Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 120 TPD |
| Application | Sludge incineration |
| Kiln type | Rotary kiln with refractory lining |
| Temp | Up to 1,200°C (zoned control) |
| Drive | Heavy-duty gear with backup |
The system includes:
Controlled feed system
Rotary kiln with high-alumina refractory
Multi-fuel burner (gas or coal)
Secondary combustion chamber
Dust collector (cyclone + bag filter)
Discharge and cooling system
PLC controls with temperature monitoring
How It Works – Simple and Effective
| Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Feed | Wet sludge enters through a controlled feeder |
| Drying | Material heats up – moisture evaporates |
| Incineration | Organics burn off at high temperature |
| Discharge | Treated material exits the kiln |
| Gas treatment | Exhaust goes through secondary combustion and dust collection |
The drum rotates slowly. Internal flights lift and shower the material through the hot gas stream. Uniform contact, consistent treatment, no hot spots.
The Results – Running Steady
The system has been running since commissioning. Here's how it's doing:
| What We Checked | How It Performed |
|---|---|
| Production capacity | 120 TPD achieved and sustained |
| Operational stability | Continuous, minimal interruptions |
| Volume reduction | Significant reduction achieved |
| Emissions | Within regulatory limits |
| Product quality | Meets disposal requirements |
| Customer feedback | Positive – system works as expected |
What the Customer Says
"The line has been running steady since startup. It handles our sludge without the sticking and clogging we had before. Emissions are under control, and we're meeting our treatment targets." — Operations Manager, Jiujiang
What the Customer Got
| Benefit | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Reliable operation | Continuous processing, less downtime |
| Consistent treatment | Uniform results, batch after batch |
| Environmental compliance | Emissions under control |
| Lower disposal costs | Less volume means lower transport and landfill fees |
| Full support | Commissioning, spare parts, technical help |
| Brand-new reliability | No hidden wear, full service life ahead |
