Custom Furnaces have built up an enviable reputation in the design, manufacture and supply of Rotary Kilns to the chemical and mining industries – ranging from Carbon Regeneration to Calcining and drying of solids.

Innovative design, the highest quality materials and manufacturing techniques have resulted in Custom Rotary Kilns being exported to Australia, Europe, South America, Canada, Asia, South and North Africa.

The units are supplied complete with charge and discharge mechanisms, drive units, heating chamber and fully automated control and monitoring systems.

Each kiln is subject to stringent quality control systems at all stages of manufacture to ensure a finished product that offers optimum safety and reliability characteristics.

All high temperature units are supplied with a fail-safe independent emergency drive system to protect the retort tube in the event of a rotation failure. (Electrical or mechanical.)

A fully operational high temperature test kiln is also utilised to determine process requirements and design parameters.

Rotary Furnaces have become one of Custom Furnaces specialties. Currently we have rotary furnaces on? 6 Continents, in countries ranging from Armenia to Vietnam. With over 90+ installations to date, Custom Furnaces is a leader in its field with its Carbon Regeneration Rotary Kilns. We are able to design Rotary kilns for any size required, ranging from 25kg/h upwards.

Kilns can be designed to be heated by Electricity, Oil, Diesel or Gas. What ever your need, we can supply.

Standard sizes for carbon regeneration kilns are: 50, 100, 200, 400, 500, 750, and 900 units.

These are Lab type furnaces specifically modified and designed to help knifemakers perform their own heat treatment.

The great advantage is that there is no more waiting for your blades to be sent into a huge production heat treated who care very little about the hard work and man hours that have gone into the craftsmanship of the blade. One can now also heat treat your blades as they are ready, instead of waiting for a “batch” to be sent in to save on costs.

You can now have the means to do your heat treatment in the comfort of your own home, using a standard plug socket, and using less electricity that your average geyser.

Latest design assures you are getting the most modern well-proven design features that modern technology can provide.
