Product Details

Henan Hongke Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. delivered a Φ 2.5×45m zinc oxide rotary kiln line in Kaifeng, Henan. Here's the short version.


Who the Customer Is

A zinc recovery plant in Kaifeng, Henan. They process zinc-bearing residues—steel mill dust, galvanizing waste, similar byproducts—and recover zinc as zinc oxide.


What Problem They Had

Their operation had issues:

  • 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 wanted a line that could handle variable feed, hold stable reduction conditions, and deliver consistent ZnO.


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

  • We stay available after handover – process support, spare parts

What the Customer Said

"The kiln runs steady. Recovery is better than before, ZnO grade is consistent. The engineering team was responsive during installation and commissioning. We're satisfied." — Production Manager, Kaifeng


What It Means for Them

  • More saleable ZnO per ton of feed

  • Stable grade for offtake contracts

  • Lower fuel cost per ton

  • Fewer unplanned stops

  • Emissions in compliance

  • One supplier for the whole line
