Pulp & Paper


Types of industrial overhead crane are used in the pulp and paper making production line for the material handling in the procedures of process, maintenance, and paper scroll transportation and storage, etc. And also the paper making overhead crane are used for woods depositing and transporting, material handling in pulp product line, paper and cardboard processing , scrap basket and tissue manufacturing.

For pulp and paper industry, industrial overhead crane system including the dry end crane & we end crane play a very crucial role to ensure the safe and efficient production of the entire paper processing lines. Due to the demanding application of hot temperature, high humidity & high speed operation, the industrial material handling cranes are required to be operated at a fairly high speed with high reliability, accuracy and safety. One-stop industrial crane services are available to meet your specific application needs and requirements.

Industry Challenges

Paper mill crane types

Overhead travelling crane for paper mill wet end - On the wet end paper mill crane, there are 3 trolleys are travelling on the bridge crane girders. The work duty of this wet end overhead crane is FEM 2m, FEM 3m or FEM 4m. The speed control mode is VFD stepless. The standard capacity of overhead crane for paper mill is from 16 ton, 18 ton, 20 ton to 100 Ton+16 ton, 18 ton, 20 ton to 100Ton. The wet end overhead  crane duty is transferring paper rollers from one side to other side in the workshop.

Overhead travelling crane for paper mil dry end - On the wet end paper mill crane, there are 2 trolleys are adoppted to travel on the crane bridge girders. The work duty of this dry end overhead  crane is FEM 2m, FEM 3m or FEM 4m. The speed control mode is VFD stepless. The standard capacity of paper mill cranes  is from 16 ton, 18ton, 20ton to 100 ton+16 ton, 18 ton, 20 ton to 100 ton. The dry end bridge crane duty is transferring paper rolls from one side to other side in the workshop. This overhead crane for paper mill are also called paper rolls handling cranes.
