Complete rotary kiln lime production solutions — from limestone quarrying and calcination to finished quicklime processing. EPC turnkey delivery tailored to your capacity, fuel, and end-use requirements.
Overview
Limestone to quicklime — engineered for purity, energy efficiency, and reliable continuous operation across diverse industrial applications.
Lime calcination is the thermal process of converting limestone (calcium carbonate, CaCO₃) into quicklime (calcium oxide, CaO) by heating it to temperatures above 900°C in a kiln. This fundamental chemical reaction drives off carbon dioxide and produces one of the most versatile industrial materials in the world. LIMING Machinery designs and builds complete lime calcination plants that deliver high-purity, high-reactivity quicklime with optimized fuel consumption and minimal environmental impact.
Our plants serve a broad spectrum of applications. In steel making, quicklime is a critical fluxing agent that removes impurities from molten iron. In construction, it is slaked into hydrated lime for mortars, plasters, and soil stabilization. The chemical industry relies on lime as a raw material for calcium carbide, soda ash, and countless other compounds. Environmental applications — including water treatment, flue gas desulfurization, and acid neutralization — represent the fastest-growing demand segment for quicklime worldwide.
Whether you need a high-capacity rotary kiln plant for steel industry supply, a fuel-efficient vertical shaft kiln for regional markets, or a double-shaft kiln for balanced output and quality, LIMING provides the full EPC package — process design, equipment manufacturing, civil works, installation, commissioning, and operator training.
Plant Types
We engineer lime plants around three core kiln technologies — each suited to different capacity ranges, fuel types, and product quality requirements.
Ideal for large-capacity production from 150 to 1,200 TPD. The rotary kiln offers uniform calcination, high quicklime reactivity, and the flexibility to use a wide range of fuels including coal, natural gas, and biomass. Best suited for steel mills and large industrial consumers.
A compact, fuel-efficient solution for capacities of 50 to 400 TPD. The vertical shaft kiln delivers excellent heat exchange and low energy consumption, producing medium-reactivity quicklime. Well suited for regional supply and construction material applications.
Parallel-flow regenerative kiln technology for 100 to 600 TPD capacities. Delivers high-quality, high-reactivity quicklime with the lowest specific heat consumption of any kiln type. The preferred choice for demanding chemical and industrial applications.
