Applications of Rotary Tube Furnace

• Manufacturing of materials such as alumina and iron ore pellets.
• Calcination of materials that require continuous throughput and loose materials.
• Oxidation of materials.
• Powder processing to minimize material handling.
• Drying of materials.
• Calcination of materials while maintaining their individual grain characteristics.
• Heat treatment of materials to improve their properties.
• Sintering of materials to form a solid mass from a powdery substance.
• Annealing of materials to reduce their hardness and increase their ductility.
• Reduction of metal oxides to produce metals.

Rotary tube furnaces offer complete process control resulting in high-quality products. They can withstand high temperatures and provide efficient heat transfer over a short time. Rotary tube furnaces can be customized to suit individual requirements, such as temperature control, work-space size, residence time, tube rotation rate, tube inclination angle, temperature profile, atmosphere flow rate, powder bed depth, and feed rate.
