What is the rotary tube furnace?

A rotary tube furnace is a type of furnace that consists of a rotating tube made of a different material. The heating elements are located outside the tube, and the material to be heated is placed inside the tube. As the tube rotates, the material is heated uniformly and can be processed continuously.

How are rotary tube furnaces classified by temperature?

Rotary tube furnaces are typically classified by their maximum operating temperature, which can range from relatively low temperatures of 0°C to high temperatures of up to 1600°C or more. Some common temperature classifications for rotary tube furnaces are:

Low-temperature rotary tube furnaces: These are designed to operate at temperatures up to 500°C and are often used for drying, curing, or annealing processes.

Medium-temperature rotary tube furnaces: These operate in the temperature range of 500-1000°C and are commonly used for calcination and sintering processes.

High-temperature rotary tube furnaces: These are designed to operate at temperatures up to 1600°C and are typically used for metallurgical processes, such as smelting or refining.
