Pusher Kiln Structure
The pusher type furnace is designed for continous sintering production, which consists of a fully sealed furnace body, transition cabin, pipelines, hydraulic system, feeding control system, temperature control system, etc.
What is a pusher kiln
A pusher type kiln or pusher furnace is a continuous industrial furnace used for high-temperature processes, where materials are pushed through the heating chamber on a fixed path. As the heating chamber can be designed with large length range, it can be used for large-scale production and is capable of maintaining precise temperature control.
Pusher Kiln Design: Pusher kiln is manufactured with sections for preheating, firing, and cooling, and can operate under various atmospheres (e.g., inert gases) to prevent oxidation or other reactions. Pusher kilns are widely used in ceramics, metallurgy, and material synthesis for processes such as sintering for acthode and anode materials, annealing, and calcination.
Same as other kiln types, Pusher Type Kiln is also customized into 2 types: Atmosphere Furnace and Air Furnace, here are their applications in the sintering for lithium-lon barttery powder materials:
Atmosphere Furnace For Cathode Materials Sintering
Materials like lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) and NCA (Nickel Cobalt Aluminum) require controlled atmospheres (often inert or reducing) to prevent oxidation and ensure proper material properties.
Air Furnace For Anode Materials Sintering
Graphite anode materials do not require the same level of atmospheric control and can be processed in normal air environments.
