The invention relates to a technique method for producing lithium iron phosphate material in a vacuum rotary kiln. The invention relates to the industrial manufacturing of lithium ion battery cathode material, which is characterized in that: a continuous vacuum rotary kiln is adopted to sinter and produce lithium iron phosphate material, which realizes dynamic sintering. The invention solves the difficulties of material overburning, underburning, etc. appeared in static sintering in atmosphere protection pusher kiln, pit type furnace, etc. The rotary kiln comprises a screw-feeder, a hopper, a feeding bin, an inlet bin, a rotary barrel body, a receiving bin, a discharging bin, a furnace body, an air inlet, an air outlet and pumping port, a large gear outside the barrel body, a drive gear engaged with the large gear and a roller, etc. The material is continuously fed and discharged. Spiricle is arranged in the barrel body of the rotary kiln and the material goes forward sequentially in the barrel body. The furnace body of the outside furnace of a rotary furnace is sealed, the air is vacuumized and protection atmosphere is input. The technique line is burdening, mechanical strength grinding, mixing, milling and crushing, pressing pill, sintering in the vacuum rotary kiln, mechanical strength grinding, ball grinding, coating, conductive carbon, testing and packing. The lithium iron phosphate material produced by the invention has low energy consumption, high efficiency and good product quality.
