Rotary Kiln for drying lithium hydroixde, coating process for cathode active material
A rotary kiln is a cylindrical, inclined, and rotating device used for a variety of processes, including heating, calcination, drying, and more. It’s essentially a large, industrial-scale furnace with a rotating drum. The rotation is usually slow and continuous, allowing materials to be processed evenly as they move through the kiln. In battery material production, a rotary kiln is often utilized for the drying lithium hydroxide and coating for cathode active materials. Rotary kilns can essentially be designed in two different types: a batch type and a continuous type. In our experience, the majority of customers producing battery materials prefer the continuous type to take advantage of the throughput (kg/h) for mass production.
