Henan Hongke Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. delivered a Φ3.0×48m active lime rotary kiln line to a customer in Egypt. Design capacity: 250 TPD. Here’s the short version.
Who the Customer Is
An industrial lime producer in Egypt’s Nile Delta region. They supply steel mills and water treatment plants—both demanding consistent quality.
What Problem They Had
Shaft kilns carried sulfur into the lime—steel customers rejected it
Reactivity was inconsistent—water treatment plants needed stable activity
Shaft kilns couldn’t use solid fuel efficiently
Capacity was too low for Delta demand
Dust emissions were under pressure
They needed a rotary kiln line—new equipment, not a shaft kiln patch-up.
Why They Chose Us
Rotary kilns scrub sulfur better – longer residence, material flow, lower sulfur lime for steel
We supplied the full line – preheater, kiln, cooler, burner, dust collection, PLC
Dual-fuel burner – gas or coal, flexibility as prices move
They inspected our factory before signing
