Heavy-Duty Refractory-Lined Rotary Kilns

Engineered for high-temperature ore calcination with controlled thermal expansion.
Optimized structural coefficients for continuous operation. Ready for your plant specifications?
Industrial Sinter Drums & Support Rollers

Precision-machined assemblies for metallurgical ore processing plants. Each component is designed to maintain alignment under extreme loads and thermal stress.

Thermal Expansion Control

Refractory lining and structural design are matched to your ore's thermal profile, reducing crack risk during continuous calcination.

High-Volume Sintering

Industrial sinter drums convert fine ore into uniform porous lumps at rates that keep your plant's downstream mills fed without interruption.

Precision Load Distribution

Support roller assemblies are machined to your kiln's weight and rotational specs, extending service life and reducing unplanned downtime.

Custom Diameter & Length

Each kiln and drum is built to your plant's throughput requirements, not a one-size-fits-all catalog dimension.

Alloy Steel Rollers

High-strength alloy steel in every support roller reduces friction and wear, keeping alignment accurate over years of operation.

Engineering capabilities for rotary kiln systems

Request a consultation

Each capability is built around the thermal and mechanical demands of metallurgical ore processing — from refractory lining design to load-bearing roller assemblies.

01

Refractory lining engineering

Custom lining profiles for calcination zones, with material selection based on ore chemistry and peak temperature gradients. Each lining is modelled for thermal expansion clearance to prevent shell stress.

02

Thermal expansion analysis

Finite-element modelling of shell and refractory expansion under operating heat. We calculate axial and radial growth coefficients for each kiln diameter and length, then design expansion gaps and support positioning accordingly.

03

Support roller & trunnion assembly

Precision-machined alloy steel rollers matched to kiln weight and rotational speed. Each assembly includes alignment shims and lubrication ports for field adjustment during thermal cycling.

04

Sinter drum agglomeration design

Internal lifter and dam configurations tailored to ore fines bulk density and moisture content. We optimise residence time and bed depth for uniform sinter quality without overburn.

05

On-site alignment & commissioning

Laser alignment of kiln axis, roller skew, and drive train during installation. We provide thermal growth tables and re-alignment intervals based on your plant’s operating schedule.
