Product Details

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

  • Φ3.0×48m is proven for 250 TPD – reduced engineering risk

  • 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

A complete lime line around a Φ3.0×48m rotary kiln.

What the Customer Said

“The rotary kiln gave us the sulfur control our steel customers needed. Reactivity is consistent for water treatment. The dual-fuel burner lets us switch with fuel prices. The team was responsive.” — Production Manager, Egypt


What It Means for Them

  • Lower sulfur lime—accepted by steel customers

  • Consistent reactivity—stable water treatment performance

  • 250 TPD capacity—meets Delta demand

  • Fuel flexibility—gas or coal

  • Emissions in compliance

  • One supplier for the whole line
