Tunnel Kiln Lining Upgrade
Industrial ceramic tunnel kilns/roller kilns run continuously. Peak firing temperature is commonly around **1260 deg C** (varies by product, curve, and soak time). In the cost structure of these kilns, shell heat loss and thermal bridges are a "year-round fixed cost." Once hot spots and leak points form, energy use stays elevated, while temperature drift and defect variability are amplified.

Energy Saving and Temperature-Field Stabilization for Cathode Material Calcination Kilns
These kilns serve the EV supply chain for calcination/sintering of lithium battery cathode materials. Typical service temperatures are around **700-900 deg C**, sometimes covering **700-1100 deg C**, or running long-term in the **800-1000 deg C** range (driven by material system, precursor route, soak time, and atmosphere window).

Mullite Applications and Process Optimization
Mullite-based insulating firebrick (mullite-based IFB) in energy-saving retrofits for protective-atmosphere heat-treatment furnaces is both a material method to "reduce wall heat transfer" and a system method to "reduce thermal mass." Using protective-atmosphere heat treatment for coils/long products (batch or continuous) as the typical scenario, this article provides a practical integrated lining material and structure plan, and explains how Xinhui uses computational methods to turn formulation optimization and batch consistency into an engineering workflow.

Resistance Furnace Lightweighting
Resistance furnaces/box furnaces/electric heat-treatment furnaces mostly operate in mid-to-high temperature ranges. Modular electric heating systems combined with fiber insulation structures can cover roughly **1350 deg C** (depending on heating module system, fiber grade, and structural details).
