Focused on addressing the core pain points of high energy consumption and operational costs in traditional sponge iron production, this tunnel kiln integrates advanced thermal engineering and energy-saving technologies. It realizes continuous and efficient sintering while minimizing energy waste, delivering stable production performance. We customize the kiln’s structure, heating system, and operational parameters based on clients’ raw material characteristics, output demands, and cost-control goals. By optimizing energy consumption and streamlining production processes, our solution helps manufacturers significantly lower per-ton product energy costs, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen market competitiveness in the cost-sensitive metallurgical industry.

Features

Customized High-Efficiency Operation

We customize the tunnel kiln’s length, cross-sectional size, and heating system layout based on clients’ output goals and raw material properties. The optimized thermal circulation design ensures uniform temperature distribution, reducing heat loss by 15-20% compared to traditional kilns. Equipped with variable-frequency speed control for the conveying system, the solutions adjust production rhythm flexibly, realizing efficient continuous production and increasing unit output by up to 25% while lowering energy consumption per ton of product.

High-Efficiency Continuous Production

Equipped with a variable-frequency speed-regulating conveying system, the tunnel kiln enables flexible adjustment of production rhythm according to market demand, realizing 24/7 continuous and stable production. The optimized production process shortens the sintering cycle by 10-15% while ensuring product quality, significantly improving unit time output. High-efficiency continuous operation reduces equipment startup/shutdown losses and labor costs, further lowering overall operational expenses. It is capable of handling large-scale production demands, making it suitable for enterprises pursuing scale-effect cost reduction.

Low Maintenance & Long Service Life

The tunnel kiln adopts high-wear-resistant and high-temperature-resistant components, reducing the frequency of part replacement and maintenance workload. The simplified structural design facilitates daily inspection and maintenance, lowering maintenance costs by 30% compared to complex equipment. With scientific heat distribution design, the kiln body suffers less thermal fatigue, extending its service life to 8-12 years. Reduced maintenance downtime and long service life ensure stable production continuity, avoiding production losses caused by equipment failures and further optimizing operational cost control.
