Pilot-scale rotary kilns have helped US customers innovate in new energy, enabling them to successfu

Time:2025-11-10
  
Abstract: Recently, the technical engineering team at Kejia Furnace successfully completed the commissioning of equipment at a leading battery materials R&D company in the United States. The two Kejia pilot-scale rotary kilns purchased by the company are now officially operational, focusing on the pilot-scale process development and optimization of next-generation lithium-ion battery cathode and anode materials.

Client Introduction: The client in this collaboration is a US-based technology company specializing in the R&D and production of advanced battery materials. The company is committed to improving the energy density, safety, and cycle life of lithium-ion batteries through materials innovation, and is a key force driving the advancement of new energy technologies. To accelerate the process of transforming laboratory results into industrial applications, they needed to find a partner globally who could provide stable, reliable, and precise pilot-scale heat treatment solutions. After rigorous screening and evaluation, they ultimately selected two pilot-scale rotary kilns from Kejia Furnace.

Equipment Introduction: Procurement of two pilot-scale rotary kiln units.

 
Advantages:

Superior Process Control: The equipment features a precise temperature control system (accuracy ±1°C) and a flexible, adjustable rotation speed system, capable of simulating a continuous production process environment and providing customers with highly reliable process scale-up data.

Uniform and Consistent Processing Results: The unique rotating furnace tube design ensures uniform heating and thorough mixing of materials during heat treatment, effectively avoiding problems such as agglomeration and unevenness that easily occur in static treatment. It is particularly suitable for battery materials with extremely high consistency requirements.

Wide Material Adaptability: With a maximum operating temperature of 1200°C, it can meet the heat treatment needs of various battery materials, including lithium iron phosphate (LFP), ternary materials (NCM/NCA), and silicon-carbon composite anode materials, in key processes such as sintering, carbonization, coating, and modification.

Reliable Safety and Sealing: The equipment adopts a professional sealing design, allowing the introduction of protective atmospheres such as nitrogen or argon according to process requirements, ensuring the safety and purity of oxygen/water sensitive materials during processing.

 
Pilot Rotary Kiln customer site
 
The customer purchased these two rotary kilns primarily for the research and pilot production of lithium-ion battery cathode and anode materials. Specific processes include:

1. Sintering and recrystallization of cathode materials

2. Carbon coating and graphitization of anode materials

3. Thermal decomposition and conversion of novel precursors

Upon arrival at the customer's site, Kejia Furnace's engineering team quickly commenced installation and commissioning. They not only ensured the equipment reached optimal operating conditions in the shortest possible time but also provided comprehensive training to the customer's operators and R&D personnel, covering all aspects of equipment operation, daily maintenance, process parameter settings, and safety regulations. The engineering team's professional skills and responsible attitude earned high praise from the customer.

We firmly believe that these two pilot-scale rotary kilns will become invaluable assets for the customer in their battery material R&D journey, accelerating the implementation of their innovative technologies.

Kejia Furnace will continue to uphold its "customer-centric" philosophy, providing more advanced and reliable heat treatment equipment and solutions for R&D and production in the global materials science field.
