60 Ton Crane&Casting Crane Overview
Casting cranes are special cranes designed for lifting and transporting molten metal in steel plants, foundries, and smelters. They have high safety and reliability standards, as well as excellent heat resistance and anti-sway features. A 60 ton casting crane can handle loads up to 60 tons, making it suitable for large-scale steel production.
In this case study, we will show you how we delivered a 60 ton casting crane to a steel plant in Poland, meeting their specific requirements and providing them with a satisfactory solution.
Poland Customer Crane Needs|Steel Plant Crane
The customer is a leading steel producer in Poland, with a history of over 40 years. They have several production lines, including electric arc furnaces, continuous casting machines, rolling mills, and finishing facilities. They produce various types of steel products, such as bars, rods, wires, rails, and sections.
The customer needed a new casting crane for their electric arc furnace workshop, as their old one was outdated and inefficient. They wanted a crane that could handle the high temperature and harsh environment of the workshop, as well as improve the productivity and safety of their operations. They also wanted a crane that could fit into their existing workshop layout, without affecting the other equipment or structures.
60 Ton Crane&Casting Crane Solutions
After communicating with the customer and understanding their needs, we proposed a customized 60 ton casting crane solution for them. The main parameters of the crane are as follows:
- Lifting capacity: 60 tons
- Span: 22 meters
- Lifting height: 18 meters
- Working class: A7
- Working temperature: -10°C to +60°C
- Power supply: 380V/50Hz/3Phase
The price of the crane was competitive and within the customer’s budget. The main features of the crane are as follows:
- Double-girder bridge structure, with box-type main girder and end girder
- Four-wheel drive trolley, with two sets of lifting mechanisms (main hook and auxiliary hook)
- The main hook is equipped with a double brake system (hydraulic brake and electromagnetic brake) and overload limiter
- Auxiliary hook equipped with single brake system (hydraulic brake) and weight display device
- Crane equipped with anti-sway system, which can reduce the swing angle of the load by 95%
- The crane is equipped with a heat insulation layer and cooling fan, which can protect the electrical components from high-temperature damage
- Crane is equipped with a PLC control system, which can realize Remote Control, fault diagnosis, and data recording functions
- Crane is equipped with safety devices, such as limit switches, emergency stop buttons, audible and visual alarms, etc.
Advantages of 60 Ton overhead crane
The advantages of this crane are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
- High performance: The crane can lift and transport heavy loads smoothly and efficiently, improving the production efficiency and quality of the steel plant.
- High reliability: The crane can withstand the high temperature and harsh environment of the electric arc furnace workshop, ensuring the stable operation and long service life of the crane.
- High safety: The crane has multiple safety features and devices, which can prevent accidents and protect the operators and equipment from potential hazards.
- High customization: The crane is tailored to the customer’s specific needs and workshop conditions, ensuring the optimal fit and performance of the crane.
Transport&Installation&Testing of Casting Crane
After confirming the order details with the customer, we started the production process of the crane. We strictly followed the quality standards and inspection procedures during each stage of the production. We also invited the customer to visit our factory and inspect the crane before delivery.
The delivery time of the crane was about two months. We arranged the transportation of the crane by sea. We also provided professional guidance and assistance for the installation and commissioning of the crane at the customer’s site. We conducted several tests to ensure that the crane was working properly and met the customer’s expectations.
