Scrap charging crane& furnace charging crane


Charging cranes are heavy duty overhead travelling crane , also called scrap charging crane, furnace charging crane, converter charging crane. which are used to feed scrap into the furnace. The scrap charging cranes are a type of steel mill cranes as the ladle crane, teeming crane, casting crane, foundry crane,which can ensure safe and efficient operation in the extreme heat, dusty and harsh conditions of the steel making industry, with sharing features of high safety, reliability and stability, etc. These steel mill cranes are processed overhead cranes which are designed based on your specific application conditions and lifting requirements to improve your working efficiency and safety.

Main parameters of charging Cranes

The scrap charging crane is adopted to feed steel scrap and cold metal into converter or electric arc furnace. The rated capacity of the charging cranes includes the weight of loads and the bucket and .the capacity of charging cranes provided ranges from 20t+20t to 110t+110 ton. The main parameters and specifications of scrap cranes are presented for your reference. Contact us to get processed charging cranes.

Main parameters of charging Cranes

  • Capacity of overhead charging crane: 20+20 ton ~110+110 ton
  • Crane span of overhead charging crane: 7.5m~31.5m
  • Lifting height of overhead charging crane: 24m~30m
  • Working class of overhead charging crane: A7,A8

The charging cranes can be designed with double girder or four girder crane configuration, equipped with double trolleys or single trolley.For the double-girder, double trolley crane configuration, two sets hoist mechanisms are provided on the separate trolley, flexible charging, the two hoisting mechanisms can cooperate together or work independently.The charging cranes with double-girder and single trolley crane configuration have the two sets hoist mechanisms placed on the same trolley which are featured as light weight,small size and flexible charging.

Applications

The charging basket handling crane are adopted during steel processing which are mainly used to charge cold scrap into the furnace. The electric arc furnace charging crane shares the same features of ladle crane with high safety and precision.In some steel plants, the charging cranes also can be used to handle molten metal which needs to be designed accordingly.

Features of charging cranes

The scrap charging cranes are applied to feed the steel scraps to the smelter furnace. Due to the very high ambient temperature above the furnace, the overhead charging crane are required to have high resistance to the flames and radiated heat to ensure the crane safety and operation safety. Besides, safety which is the key issue, there are some features shared by the steel mill cranes as following:

  • Safety is always the top concern. Dual systems of braking systems and many protections devices are adopted on the charging crane.
  • The advanced electrical system installed on the charging crane to reduce the occurring of fault and lower maintenance cost.
  • Driver's cabin is adopted offering broaden view, and comfortable operation environment to guarantee working efficiency of crane operator.
  • Advanced crane control system helps the crane operator to place and transport the loads in high precision and in high safety
  • The charging cranes are designed to maximize your working time to prevent unexpected downtime to improve your productivity. 
  • All of our charging cranes are designed with the features of maintenance-friendly

Various types of process cranes are available for material handling in foundry factory and foundry plants through the process of raw materials handling, machining, fabricating, shaping and finished products handling, transportation and storage, etc.
