Designed for metallurgical enterprises pursuing efficiency and precision, this tunnel kiln realizes full-process intelligent management from raw material feeding, sintering control to finished product discharge. It minimizes human intervention, reduces operational errors, and ensures consistent production quality. We customize the intelligent control system, automated conveying mechanism, and data monitoring modules according to clients’ production scales, raw material characteristics, and management needs. By streamlining production processes and enhancing operational efficiency, our solution helps manufacturers reduce production costs, improve output stability, and gain a competitive edge in the increasingly demanding metallurgical market.

Features

Customized High-Efficiency Operation

We customize the tunnel kiln’s length, cross-sectional size, and heating system layout based on clients’ output goals and raw material properties. The optimized thermal circulation design ensures uniform temperature distribution, reducing heat loss by 15-20% compared to traditional kilns. Equipped with variable-frequency speed control for the conveying system, the solutions adjust production rhythm flexibly, realizing efficient continuous production and increasing unit output by up to 25% while lowering energy consumption per ton of product.

Intelligent Monitoring & Data Analytics

Powered by IoT and AI technologies, the tunnel kiln features real-time intelligent monitoring of key production parameters such as temperature, pressure, and sintering time. The built-in data analytics module collects and analyzes production data, providing predictive maintenance alerts and process optimization suggestions. Operators can remotely monitor and control the kiln via a centralized control platform, ensuring timely response to production changes. This intelligent management not only improves production process transparency but also enhances product quality stability, with the metallization rate fluctuation of sponge iron controlled within ±1%.

Flexible & Scalable System Design

The intelligent control system adopts a modular design, allowing flexible integration of additional functions such as quality inspection and energy monitoring according to clients’ development needs. It supports seamless connection with enterprise MES/ERP systems, realizing integrated management of production, inventory, and sales data. The scalable structure also facilitates capacity expansion and technological upgrades in the future, avoiding repeated investment in equipment. This flexibility makes the tunnel kiln suitable for both small-batch customized production and large-scale mass production, meeting diverse market demands.
