The utility model has a simple structure and an ingenious design. The position of the discharge port 7 of the rotary kiln body 2 is fixed, which is convenient for receiving materials. By arranging the first dividing tips 14 and the second dividing tips 15 which are staggered, the force generated by the relative rotation can be used to break up the rare earth blocks stuck in the middle, reducing the possibility of agglomerated rare earth getting stuck at the dividing tips. The utility model is easy to use, can meet market demand, and is suitable for promotion. When using the utility model, firstly, the rare earth material is introduced into the second kiln body 12 from the feed port 9, and the flue gas is introduced into the smoke inlet 6. The second kiln body 12 is driven to rotate by the driving mechanism, and the rare earth material slides from right to left.
