Ladle Crane

Ladle crane (ladle handling crane) transports ladles filled with molten iron to the basic oxygen furnace (BOF), or molten steel from the BOF and electric arc furnace to the continuous casting machine. It can also be used for teeming and casting. As with the charging crane, safety and reliability come first with this crane since it is used to transport molten steel.

Ladle handling crane is mainly used at the place where the molten metal is lifted. The working class of the complete machine is FEM 4M, and the thermal-protective coating is added at the bottom of the main girder. The assembling and test of the crane conform to the document No. ZJBT[2007]375 WHICH WAS ISSUED BY General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China. The place where molten nonmetal material and red-hot solid metal is lifted also can refer to this document.

Ladle Crane

Overview:

QDY&YZ model casting ladle crane with hook mainly consists of main beam, hook trolley, crane traveling mechanism, cabin and electric controlling system, etc. Casting ladle crane is one of the main equipment in the continuous casting technology of steel making.

It is mainly used transfer the pouring melted iron to the appointed place, and the thermal protective coating is added at the bottom of the main girder. The place where molten nonmetal material and red-hot solid metal is lifted. The casting overhead crane are heavy duty for 20-24hours working.


Adopt double-girder structure below 125t and four-girder structure above 125t;
The main grabbing device of main hook is fixed-spacing hook girder used to lift foundry ladle;
Auxiliary hook is used to work with main hook to dump the molten iron and do other subsidiary lifting operation;
Main hoisting and transportation equipment in steel mill and smelter workshop;
Used for transshipment and pouring of liquid metal during melting, etc;
Add thermal-protective coating under the main girder;
Ambient temperature: below +60℃, moisture: less than 50%;
Crane assembly and test accord with No. 375, 2007 document issued by AQSIQ.
