Rotary Tube Furnaces

Rotary tube furnaces are well suited for manufacturing a range of materials, like alumina and iron ore pellets, applications such as calcining, which require the continuous throughput of loose materials, and oxidation. They are designed to withstand high temperatures and offer complete process control, resulting in high-quality products. 

Every Deltech rotary tube furnace is custom designed, meaning we can develop them specifically to the size and configuration to suit your process requirements.

Before we begin designing your custom rotary tube furnace, we will need some details from you, which include the following:

1. Your preferred tube material (such as stainless steel, quartz, and Inconel).
2. Range of desired angle of the tube
3. Desired rotation speed (3-7 rpm is standard)
4. Feed type (screw conveyor, vibratory hopper, other or none)
5. Density of the material(s) to be processed
6. Retention time (can be adjusted)
7. Does the furnace need to be sealed?
8. Do you need gas mixing and safety features?
9. Do you have PLC/HMI requirements? If so, do you require a specific brand, e.g. Bradley or Siemens, to integrate with your existing system?
