Industrial Furnaces

High-capacity 6-ton lead melting rotary furnace with automatic grade controls, 15 kHz working frequency, and electric-driven rotation for efficient lead smelting and recycling operations.

Working Principle

<p>The lead charge material (scrap batteries, lead ingots, or lead-bearing materials) is loaded into the cylindrical furnace chamber through a charging door. The furnace is then sealed and the burner system (oil or gas-fired) heats the charge while the furnace body rotates slowly on its horizontal axis. The rotation ensures all charge material is continuously exposed to the heat source, promoting uniform melting and preventing localized overheating. Molten lead collects at the bottom and is tapped through a tap hole. Slag and dross float on top and are removed separately. The rotation also aids in slag separation and metal recovery.</p>

Frequently Asked Questions

The furnace has a 6-ton capacity, making it suitable for medium to large-scale lead recycling and smelting operations.

Yes, this rotary furnace is specifically designed for lead acid battery recycling. The rotary action ensures complete melting and high metal recovery from battery scrap.

The furnace operates in the range of 327°C to 600°C, which covers the melting point of lead (327°C) and provides sufficient superheat for proper casting and refining operations.

The continuous rotation ensures all charge material is uniformly exposed to heat, preventing cold spots and promoting faster, more complete melting. It also aids in slag separation, improving metal recovery rates.

Lead melting generates fumes that require proper pollution control. We recommend pairing this furnace with our wet scrubber or air pollution control systems for CPCB compliance.
