Baowu Magnesium has announced that on the morning of January 18th, the world’s largest rotary kiln in the magnesium industry was ignited and put into production at Chaohu Yunhai Magnesium Co., Ltd. (referred to as Chaohu Yunhai). The kiln, with a diameter of 5.8 meters and a length of 80 meters, represents an investment of over 100 million yuan. It is capable of producing 1,350 tons of calcined magnesia per day. This project is a crucial part of Chaohu Yunhai’s initiative to construct an annual production of 100,000 tons of magnesium-based light alloys, providing a material guarantee for the company’s scaled development.
Chaohu Yunhai held a simple yet meaningful ignition ceremony for the kiln. Following a brief introduction of the project by Deputy General Manager Zhu Zhijun, the current Rotary Kiln Workshop Director Lu Jun collected a flame from the old rotary kiln. Together with former workshop directors Jiao Zhengrong and Guo Lizhu, Lu Jun passed the flame to the new kiln, symbolizing not only the passing of the torch but also the continuation and promotion of the old kiln’s achievements and spirit. The ignition of the new kiln was jointly conducted by He Zhifang, General Manager of Chaohu Yunhai, and Yao Deyu, General Manager of Chaohu Yunhai Mining.
The new rotary kiln system has undergone significant optimization in production processes and equipment technology and is equipped with high-performance refractory bricks. This will greatly reduce energy consumption, emissions, and production costs while improving efficiency.
Attendees at the ceremony included Han Haizhao, Chairman of Handan Dingzheng Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd., Xiang Zhixi, Chairman of Anhui Magnesium Aluminum Building Template Technology Co., Ltd., Gao Bing, General Manager of Chaohu Yi’an Yunhai Science and Technology Co., Ltd., Zhang Pu, General Manager of Chaohu Yunhai Light Metal Precision Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and Tan Hongfeng, Deputy General Manager, who all witnessed this significant moment.
