Main structures & components of hoist crane

Metallurgical electric single girder ladle hoist crane is mainly consisted of the crane travelling: bridge, metallurgical electric wire rope hoist and electrical system,crane controlling system and safety devices, etc. . The metallurgical wire rope hoist is suspended on the bottom flange of the overhead travelling bridge travelling with loads longitudinally, which is consisted of crane steel structure and running mechanism.

Affordable ladle and hot metal handling solution, electric single beam crane with metallurgical hoist

The single girder ladle hoist crane is a cost-effective overhead travelling crane solution for high temperature material handling and also can be used for general material handling. With single girder design, the crane cost will be much lower than the double girder ladle crane. And the main advantages of the single girder ladle hoist cranes are as following:

• 1). Top class crane quality wit CE certificate at affordable single girder crane price.
• 2). Compact crane design, small sizes, make the best use of your workshop space.
• 3). Reasonable crane steel structure, favorable crane performance, long working life.
• 4). Ease crane control, exact operation, high precision load handling.
• 5). Soft starting and stopping, smooth crane travelling and load handling
• 6). Strengthened safety devices and hot radiant protection, enhanced ladle hoist crane safety & reliability.

YH Metallurgy use electric cable hoists for ladle or hot metal handling

The metallurgical use electric wire rope hoist is a specially designed ladle hoist with high safety by adopting dual brake, double spacing, insulation boards and other protections to ensure the material handling crane safety in the hazardous application conditions such as the workshop of metallurgical casting where high temperature molten metal ladle and solid hot metals required safety handling.

Due to high safety, reasonable designs and various configurations, the single girder ladle hoists are widely used which can be installed on electric overhead cranes either single girder crane design or double girder crane design, the cantilever jib cranes, gantry cranes, and also be suspended on the I-beam, either straight line or curved. Whats' more , with fixed hoist design, the wire rope hoist can be fastened on the supporting structure for lifting loads up and down.

Main parameter of metallurgical hoists

Metallurgical use electric wire rope hoist is a type of hazardous application lifting equipment, widely used for molten metal and ladle handling with high safety. The Metallurgical electric ladle hoist is equipped with dual brake, double spacing, insulation boards, and other protections, with the working class of M3. The lifting capacity of metallurgical electric wire rope hoist is 1 to 63 tons and the main hoist parameters & specifications are presented for your reference. And custom designed electric wire rope hoists are ahead of standard electric rop hoists. Contact us for more details.

Main parameters of metallurgical ladle hoists

• Wire rope hoist type :YH metallurgic hot metal & ladle hoist
• Lifting capacity of ladle host: single girder design up to 10 tons,
• Lifting height of ladle hoist: 6~18m
• Working class of ladle hoist:M5
• Ambient temperature of ladle hoist -10℃～+60℃

Main structure and components of ladle hoist

Metallurgy use electric rope hoist is a cost-effective light-duty overhead hoisting equipment which is ideal to work with the metallurgical use single girder ladle crane for hot loads handling with capacity up to 10 tons. The ladle hoist also can be used on double girder overhead cranes with lifting capacity up to 63 tons with customized crane designs. The standard metallurgical use ladle hoists are not allowed to be used in applications where potentially explosive gases & dusts or flammable materials exist but the customized wire rope hoists with features of explosion proof or spark resistant are needed.

Heat insulation plate and the working environment temperature is - 10 ℃ - 60 ℃

Special insulation treatment is adopted for cables.

Features of Metallurgical use ladle Hoist

The dominate feature of metallurgical electric wire rope hoist is hot temperature resistant with high safety by adopting dual brake, double spacing, insulation boards, and other protections. And the general features of the metallurgical use electric hoists are as following for your reference:

• Double spacing protection.-The lifting mechanisms of metallurgy industrial use electric rope hoists are installed with double limit protection, the off fire limit protection , which will take effects when the hook is up to the safety limit and off control limit protection, which will ed-energize the total contacts to protect the safety hoist.
• Effective double brakes --Double brakes are equipped on the ladle hoists to enhance the braking effectiveness and hoist operation safety.
• High temperature protection.-To avoid direct heat radiation, the metallurgical use wire rope hoists are designed with insulation plates & insulation tubes and others devices to keep the ladle hoists, wire rope or cable from the damage caused by high temperature. And the core wire rope and cable is high temperature resistant with steel core.
• Operation mode.- Convenient remote control and economical ground control are optional both of which are with high safety.
• Safety devices.-Various safety designs and devices are used on the metallurgical electric wire rope hoists to enhance the safety of the ladle hoists such as , double limits, dual brakes, and high temperature protection, short circuit protection, no-voltage protection, electrical interlock protection,safe braking protection, etc

Application of hoist & crane

Metallurgical use electric wire rope hoist and single girder ladle hoist crane are typically used to lift and handle molten metal, ladle or other solid high temperature objects with the working application conditions that environments temperature is 10℃~60℃ and relative humidity less than 50% under the condition of 40℃ temperature.

Specifically, the metallurgical use electric hoist and single girder crane are widely used in steel industrial and mining enterprises, foundry workshops, material yards, and others for high-temperature molten liquid metal and solid metal handling which is a safe and effective lifting equipment to improve your efficiency, safety and reduce labor stress and cost.
