Customize Bridge Crane and Electric Hoists for Steel Mills

Steel mills are complex industrial facilities that require specialized equipment to ensure smooth and efficient operations. One crucial aspect of these operations is the movement and handling of heavy loads, which is where overhead cranes and electric hoists come into play.

Bridge Crane and Electric Hoist are Used in Steel Mills

When it comes to steel mills, the demands placed on lifting equipment are unique and challenging. The loads being lifted are often extremely heavy, sometimes weighing several tons. Additionally, the environment in a steel mill can be harsh, with high temperatures, dust, and debris present.

We can provide correct crane solutions for various kinds of applications for steel mill. For example, metallurgic crane （also called casting crane or foundry crane）with dounle-beam design can process the metallurgic safely and efficiently.This double girder overhead crane is used for the internal delivery of components (like the molds) for casting and delivery of casting parts for further processing. Semi-auto or full-auto cranes can be used for special storage and metal products such as plate rolling and rods made of aluminum or other metals.

Advantages of Steel Mill Metallurgical Overhead Crane

Yuantai metallurgic cranes are used to lift the metallurgic with full of molten iron and transport the iron liquid to the basic oxygen furnace or molten steel from the basic oxygen furnace and the electric arc furnace to the continuous casting machine. metallurgic handling crane is one of the important equipments in the steel casting process.

1. The metallurgic bridge crane could normally work in the high dust and high temperature strict conditions.
2. The crane has higher working class and reliability. Because it could result in huge loss and serious consequence, if any break down happened.
3. The crane should have main hook and aux hook, because it needs to finish the process of pouring molten metal and the scrap.
4. The main lifting mechanism has two sets of driving devices and rigid connection is adopted on the output shaft.
5. The safety brake is set up on each drum to guarantee the safety work to the maximum.

Yuantai Double Beam Casting Crane for Steel Mills

The lifting capacity of Yuantai double girder overhead crane is from 1ton to 100ton , with span up to 31.5m. double girder overhead crane is an ideal choice for industrial applications and is very popular in the market. The biggest advantage of double girder overhead crane is that it can use the space under the crane effectively and its hook approach is small. At the same time, we also can provide you multiple optional functions according to your special requirements, such as auxiliary brake, different lifting speeds, load display, wireless remote control, maintenance platform, rain cover and electronic anti-swing, etc. Here, we list just a few of them.

1. Design is based on FEM and GB3811 standards.
2. Finite element analysis and optimized design for steel structure, to achieve a light weight.
3. Modular design of end beam and wheel set.
4. Wheel is made of 42CrMo material, which is more durable, and can be equipped with guide wheel to prevent gnawing.
5. Main girders is welded box structure with partial square steel rails for hoist trolley, easy to manufacture.
6. Walking board and handrail adopt bolts connection for easy sea transportation, which can reduce shipping volume and lower sea freight. 7.The standardized configuration are 2-step limit (slow down + stop) for hoist cross travel and crane long travel and light alarm. Other options are driver cabin, lighting, maintenance cage, guide wheel and photoelectric anti-collision device. You need to inform our CLESCRANE sales engineer in advance, we will add related functions for you.
7. Lifting capacity:1~100t. Double hoist trolley and main & aux. hook hoists are different.Please inform your detailed requirementsto our CLESCRANE salesengineer.

Steel Mill Electric Hoist

Two main types of electric hoists are commonly used in steel mills: explosion-proof electric hoists and metallurgical electric hoists.

Explosion-proof electric hoists:
This types of electric blocks are specifically designed to operate in hazardous environments where there is a risk of explosion. These hoists are equipped with special features and safety measures to prevent any potential ignition sources from causing an explosion. They are typically used in areas where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present, such as in steel mills where there is a high concentration of combustible materials. Explosion-proof electric hoists are built to meet strict safety standards and regulations to ensure the safety of both the operators and the surrounding environment.

Metallurgical electric hoists: 
These electric blocks are specifically designed for use in metallurgical applications within steel mills. These hoists are designed to withstand the harsh conditions and heavy loads commonly found in steel mills. They are built with durable materials and reinforced components to ensure their reliability and longevity in such demanding environments. Metallurgical electric hoists are capable of lifting and moving heavy loads, such as molten metal or large steel ingots, with precision and efficiency. They are equipped with advanced control systems and safety features to ensure smooth and safe operation.
