Yes, a rotary kiln is a type of furnace. It is a large cylindrical tube that is rotated slowly along its longitudinal axis. The rotary kiln is used to heat materials at very high temperatures. It is commonly used in the manufacturing of cement and in various thermal treatment processes such as calcination, sintering, pyrolysis, and firing. The materials being processed are introduced into the rotary kiln and transported down the length of the tube while it rotates. The constant turning of the kiln body ensures that the materials are mixed and processed homogeneously. The rotary kiln can be heated either directly inside the kiln chamber or indirectly from outside, depending on the specific application requirements. It is a versatile furnace that can be used for a wide range of processes and temperature ranges.
