Core Features
Furnace structure and rotation function:
The furnace body can be tilted, and the furnace tube can rotate 360 °. This design allows materials to be uniformly heated inside the furnace, avoiding local overheating or overburning.
The material continuously flips within the furnace as it rotates, achieving uniform heat transfer.

Heating method:
Usually, resistance heating is used. Resistance heating is the process of heating materials in a furnace by generating resistance heat when current flows through heating elements such as resistance wires, silicon carbide rods, silicon molybdenum rods, etc.

Temperature control:
The temperature inside the furnace is controlled by a temperature controller based on signals from thermocouples to ensure constant and uniform temperature.
Equipped with precision temperature sensors and control systems, achieving precise temperature control for different temperature zones.

Atmosphere control:
Inert gases such as nitrogen, argon, and hydrogen can be introduced as needed to meet the atmosphere requirements under specific experimental conditions.
The sealing system adopts stainless steel flanges and furnace tubes, as well as high-temperature resistant silicone rubber seals or magnetic fluid seals, to prevent external gases from entering the furnace and maintain a stable atmosphere inside the furnace.

Application area
Material sintering and heat treatment:
Specially designed for achieving good consistency in sintering inorganic compounds, widely used in fields such as chemical engineering, metallurgy, building materials, aerospace, etc.
Suitable for sintering and heat treatment of materials such as lithium iron phosphate, improving the electrochemical performance of materials by precisely controlling the temperature distribution and atmosphere environment inside the kiln.

Powder metallurgy and battery material preparation:
Capable of handling various materials, such as positive and negative electrode materials, graphitized carbon materials, silicon-based negative electrode materials, etc.
In the preparation of battery materials, optimizing the design and operating parameters of the rotary kiln can further improve the electrochemical performance and consistency of the materials.

Purchase suggestions
Temperature range and furnace size:
Select the appropriate temperature range and furnace size according to the experimental requirements to ensure that the equipment can meet the experimental requirements.

Atmosphere control accuracy:
Choose equipment that can provide stable and precise atmosphere control to meet the needs of specific experimental conditions.

Temperature control accuracy and stability:
Equipment with high temperature control accuracy can ensure the accuracy and reproducibility of experimental results, so it should be given priority consideration.
