Special Overhead Cranes for Metallurgical Industry

Product Overview

Flagcrane provides special overhead cranes for metallurgical industry.

Casting workshops, slab handling, heat treatment workshops, etc. that are sensitive to high temperatures or ambient temperature fluctuations require cranes of different types and models to work together, such as the transfer and lifting of ladles, billets, ingots, and coils in ironmaking, steelmaking, and rolling systems.

Flan Crane is in line with the crane design and optimization concept of the process requirements of the metallurgical industry.

While ensuring product quality, it pays more attention to the safety performance and automation of the crane, which can reduce the cost of the material handling system in the metallurgical industry.

Flagcrane's technical team deeply understands the production conditions on site and designs special cranes for each process of the steel plant.

We follow the concept of precise design and optimization, targeting special environments and process requirements, while also ensuring its stable and safe operation.

Main Features

Every Special Overhead Cranes for Metallurgical Industry leaves the factory complete with the following standard features, verified during final inspection and load testing:

• Working characteristics: Metallurgical cranes participate in specific process flows, have high working levels, high utilization levels, frequent starting and braking, and can be powered up 150 to 300 times per hour. The load state is heavy, especially in the stripping, clamp-type, and open-hearth charging bridge cranes. The lifting load is small compared to the mass of the trolley, and the load acting on the bridge is close to the rated load value. In addition, the working environment of metallurgical cranes is harsh, and high temperature, high dust, and high noise are its significant characteristics.
• Design features: The design of metallurgical cranes focuses on high temperature resistance and high-intensity work resistance. Its hooks, such as forging hooks and plate hooks, have a large carrying capacity for high-temperature radiation, can work at an ambient temperature of -10℃ to +50℃, and the radiation temperature of the molten metal to the hook does not exceed 300℃. In addition, metallurgical cranes have more safety protection devices and a higher working level, which are suitable for special purposes such as steel mills.
• ‌Technical features‌: The motor of the metallurgical crane has a high insulation level, usually F or even H class insulation, to withstand the high current impact under frequent start-stop and forward and reverse working conditions. Its stator and base, rotor and shaft are fixed with long keys to ensure stable mechanical properties under high-intensity working environment. The cooling fan adopts a metal fan to withstand high temperature, and the shaft extension adopts a conical design.
• ‌Application features‌: Metallurgical cranes are mainly used in metal smelting workshops to lift molten metal. Specific applications include charging the converter, adding molten iron from the span to the converter, lifting molten steel to the refining furnace, or lifting molten steel to the continuous casting ladle turntable in the molten steel receiving span, etc.

Applications & Working Conditions

The Special Overhead Cranes for Metallurgical Industry is used across industrial plants, warehouses, steel mills, power stations, ports and logistics centers. It is available with optional lifting attachments such as lifting beams, electromagnets, grabs, C-hooks and coil tongs for special material handling.
