What do you know about pusher kiln?
Pusher kiln or pusher slab kiln, is a continuous high-temperature heat treatment equipment mainly used for sintering and heat treatment processes in industries such as ceramics, lithium battery, metallurgy, electronics, and chemical engineering. The pusher kiln gradually push the material to be processed into the kiln through a pushing plate, and then pass through the preheating zone, high-temperature zone, and cooling zone to achieve high-temperature sintering or heat treatment of the material. The pusher kiln has the characteristics of precise temperature control, high thermal efficiency, and continuous production, and is one of the important equipment for modern industrial heat treatment.
Highlights of pusher kiln
- Accurate temperature control: An advanced temperature control system is adopted, with small temperature fluctuations to ensure stable product quality.
- High thermal efficiency: optimized thermal design reduces heat loss and improves energy utilization efficiency.
- Continuous production: The push plate moves continuously, and materials can be processed without interruption, resulting in high production efficiency.
- Strong adaptability: The firing curve and kiln atmosphere can be flexibly adjusted according to the characteristics of different materials.
- High degree of automation: equipped with intelligent control system, easy to operate, reducing manual intervention.

working principle of pusher kiln
Structurally, an industrial pusher kiln is mainly composed of furnace body, heating system, push plate device, and control system. The furnace body is usually made of high temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, with spacious interior space that can meet the heat treatment needs of workpieces of different sizes and shapes. The heating system is the core part of the pusher kiln, which uses electric heating, gas heating, or other heat sources to transfer heat to the workpiece through radiation, convection, and conduction, achieving the heating purpose. The push plate device is responsible for feeding the workpiece into the furnace and maintaining its position stability during the heating process to ensure uniform heating. The control system precisely controls the entire heat treatment process, including temperature control, time control, speed control, etc., to ensure that the heat treatment effect meets expectations.
In terms of principle, the industrial pusher furnace adopts a continuous production method, in which the workpieces are fed into the furnace one by one through a push plate device, achieving continuous and stable heating during the heating process. At the same time, the temperature distribution inside the furnace is uniform, which can ensure that the workpiece is heated evenly during the heating process, avoiding the problem of uneven heat treatment caused by temperature differences. In addition, the high-precision control of the control system ensures the stability and reliability of the heat treatment process, improving product quality and production efficiency.
