Our comprehensive range of steel mill crane solutions is designed to enhance efficiency, ensure safety, and provide robust performance in the harshest environments. Find out the various crane solutions we offer to meet the diverse needs of steel mills.
There are diverse types of cranes used in steel industry. Whether facilitating scrap handling, steelmaking, coil transportation, or maintenance activities, our specialized cranes are tailored to meet the unique demands of the steel industry.
At the heart of steel production lies the recycling and processing of scrap metal. Scrap handling cranes play a pivotal role in this process by efficiently transporting scrap materials from collection points to melting furnaces. These overhead cranes are designed to withstand harsh environments and heavy loads, ensuring continuous operation while maintaining safety standards. Equipped with specialized electromagnets or grabs, they enable precise material handling and segregation, contributing significantly to cost reduction and environmental sustainability.
In the electric arc furnace (EAF) process, charging cranes facilitate the controlled addition of raw materials into the furnace for steelmaking. These steel mill overhead cranes are equipped with sophisticated controls and attachments such as buckets or bins, enabling precise material distribution and minimizing downtime during charging cycles. Their robust design and high maneuverability ensure seamless integration into the metal smelting process, enhancing overall productivity and operational flexibility.
Steel mill ladle cranes are essential for the movement of molten steel within the steel mill environment. Operating in close proximity to high-temperature ladles, these cranes require specialized heat-resistant materials and precision control systems to ensure safe and efficient handling of molten metal. Steel mill ladle cranes are pivotal during tapping and pouring operations, where they enable precise positioning and pouring of liquid steel into molds or further processing units. Their reliability and safety features are critical for preventing accidents and ensuring consistent production outputs.
Slab cranes are designed specifically for handling large steel slabs within rolling mills or storage yards. These cranes are characterized by their robust structure and precise handling capabilities, allowing them to lift and transport heavy slabs with ease. Slab cranes play a crucial role in the steel manufacturing process by facilitating the movement of slabs between different stages of production, such as from the caster to the rolling mill or from the hot rolling mill to the cooling beds. Their efficiency and reliability contribute to maintaining smooth operations and minimizing material handling bottlenecks.
Tundish cranes are specialized cranes used in continuous casting processes within steel mills. These cranes are responsible for handling the tundish, a refractory-lined vessel that receives molten steel from the ladle and distributes it to multiple molds during casting. Tundish cranes ensure precise positioning of the tundish over the molds, allowing for controlled and uniform pouring of molten steel. Their design includes features for heat resistance and precise control, critical for maintaining quality and efficiency in continuous casting operations.
Casting cranes are designed to facilitate the movement and positioning of various components involved in the continuous casting process of molten steel. They handle tasks related to the operation of continuous casting machines, which are used to solidify molten steel into semi-finished products such as slabs, billets, or blooms.
The functionality of the steel mill casting cranes includes:
Coil handling cranes are tailored for the storage and transportation of steel coils within the mill premises. These cranes are characterized by their ability to handle heavy loads and operate in confined spaces typical of coil storage areas. Equipped with specialized lifting attachments and advanced automation systems, they ensure efficient coil handling from production lines to storage facilities or transportation vehicles. Coil handling overhead cranes contribute to reducing material damage and optimizing inventory management, thereby improving overall supply chain efficiency.
