Technical Features and Advantages of Rotary Tube Furnace

Rotary Tube Furnace, as a kind of heat treatment equipment specially designed to improve the consistency of inorganic compounds sintering, integrates several advanced technologies and innovative designs, its core features and advantages are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. High-Temperature Stability and Precise Temperature Control

● Maximum temperature up to 1200℃: meets the needs of most high-temperature heat treatment processes, including high-temperature sintering and calcination.

● Intelligent 50-segment programmable automatic temperature control: users can preset multiple temperature segments according to experimental or production needs, to achieve precise temperature control, to ensure the stability and repeatability of the process.

● Temperature control accuracy ±1℃: high-precision temperature control ensures that the material is heated evenly during the heat treatment process and avoids temperature fluctuations that adversely affect the material properties.

2. Efficient and Uniform Heating

● 360-degree rotation of the furnace tube: with the 3 pieces of quartz lifting plate on the inner wall of the furnace tube, it can effectively turn the material when rotating to ensure that the material is uniformly heated in all directions, which significantly improves the effect of sintering or drying.

● Adjustable heating rate from 0 to 20℃/minute: according to different material characteristics and process requirements, the rotary tube furnace can flexibly adjust the heating rate to optimize the heat treatment process.

3. Flexible Operation Design

● Furnace body can be tilted 0~30 degrees: it is convenient for material inlet and outlet and special operation, such as even unloading under the tilting angle, which improves the working efficiency.

● Upper open-type furnace cover design: it is convenient to observe the state of heated materials in real-time, adjust the process parameters in time, and at the same time ensure the safety of operation.

4. Safe and Reliable Operation Guarantee

● Open door-power off, over-temperature alarm, leakage protection: rotary tube furnace has multiple safety protection measures to ensure that the equipment in the event of anomalies automatically cuts off the power supply, to protect personnel and equipment safety.

● Standard accessories are complete: including pipe plugs, furnace tubes, vacuum pumps, vacuum flanges and vacuum pressure gauges, etc., which can meet a variety of experimental and production needs.

Applicable Fields of Rotary Tube Furnace

Many customers from different fields have already purchased rotary tube furnaces from Brother Furnace. This confirms its excellent technical advantages and performance, and at the same time shows that the rotary tube furnace has a wide range of application prospects.

1. New Energy Material

Lithium-ion Battery Material Preparation:

Rotary tube furnace is especially suitable for the preparation of anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, such as conductive coating treatment of silicon-based and graphite-based materials. By precisely controlling the temperature, time, and atmosphere, the rotary tube furnace can ensure that the anode material obtains good consistency during the sintering process, improving the cycle stability and energy density of the battery.

At the same time, its uniform heating characteristics can also effectively reduce the thermal stress within the material to avoid cracks and deformation.

Anode Material Modification:

The rotary tube furnace also plays an important role in the modification treatment of cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. By adjusting the sintering process parameters, such as temperature, time, atmosphere, etc., the precise regulation of the crystal structure, morphology, and electrochemical properties of the anode materials can be achieved, thus enhancing the overall performance of the battery.

2. Ceramics and Glass Industry

Ceramic Material Sintering:

The sintering process of ceramic materials has very high requirements on temperature control. Rotary tube furnaces are ideal for the sintering of ceramic materials due to their advantages of precise temperature control and uniform heating.

Whether it is structural ceramics such as alumina, silicon nitride, daily-use ceramics, art ceramics, etc., rotary tube furnaces can provide a stable and reliable sintering environment to ensure that the ceramic materials have good densities and mechanical properties.

Glass Melting and Heat Treatment:

In the glass industry, rotary tube furnaces are used in the process steps of glass melting, annealing, and heat treatment. By precisely controlling the heating temperature and atmosphere, rapid melting and homogenization of the glass can be achieved while reducing the production of defects such as bubbles and streaks. In addition, rotary tube furnaces are used to prepare glass materials with special optical or structural properties.

3. Powder Metallurgy and Metal Heat Treatment

Sintering of Powder Metallurgy Products:

In the field of powder metallurgy, rotary tube furnace is one of the key equipments for the preparation of high-performance metal powder products. By precisely controlling the sintering temperature, time, and atmosphere, the rotary tube furnace can promote the metallurgical bonding between metal powder particles to form a dense metal matrix, while maintaining the fine structure and excellent performance of the powder metallurgy products.

This is important for the preparation of high-performance gears, bearings, cutting tools, and other components.

Metal Heat Treatment:

The heat treatment process of metal materials, such as quenching, tempering, annealing, etc., has an important influence on the mechanical properties and organizational structure of materials.

With its uniform heating characteristics and precise temperature control capability, rotary tube furnace is able to ensure uniform heating of metal materials during heat treatment, reduce thermal stress concentration and deformation, and thus obtain ideal organization and properties.
