Product Description

Casting crane is a bridge crane used to transport and lift liquid metal in high temperature and dusty environment. It is also called metallurgical overhead crane and ladle overhead crane. Its lifting mechanism can quickly lift materials to meet the requirements of efficient production. The speed regulation of the crane operation can be achieved through stator pressure regulation and motor frequency conversion.

Foundry bridge cranes are an essential component of metallurgical applications, helping to move heavy loads of molten metal and other materials safely and efficiently. This type of crane is specifically designed to withstand the harsh and extreme conditions found in foundries, steel mills and other metallurgical environments. In metallurgical applications, foundry overhead cranes are used to perform a variety of tasks such as transferring molten metal crucibles, transporting ingots or molds, and pouring molten metal into molds. These cranes are designed with precision and accuracy to handle the complex and sensitive operations in the metallurgical process. Foundry overhead cranes ensure that the material handling process is seamless and efficient, thereby reducing downtime and increasing productivity.

Characteristics

  • Main Girder

    The two horizontal beams that span the crane’s width and support the hoist, trolley, and load. These girders bear the weight of the load and distribute it evenly, allowing for greater lifting capacities and spans than single girder designs.

    End Trucks

    Located on both ends of the bridge girders, end trucks house wheels that run on the crane runway rails. They enable the bridge to move along the length of the runway, allowing for horizontal movement of the crane.

  • Trolley

    The mechanism that moves along the girders, carrying the hoist. The trolley provides lateral movement for the hoist, enabling precise positioning of the load.

    Runway Rails

    The tracks along which the end trucks travel, usually installed on the building’s structure or columns. These rails allow for smooth, horizontal movement of the crane across the workspace.

  • Electric Motor and Drive System

    Motors provide the power needed for the crane’s movements, including lifting, trolley, and bridge travel. The drive system includes gearing and drives that manage the speed and direction of these movements.

    Hooks and Grabs

    For handling molten metal, specialized hooks or grabs are used, often with heat-resistant coatings.

Advantages

  • 1 High Load Capacity: Foundry overhead cranes are capable of handling loads weighing hundreds of tons.
  • 2 High Heat Resistance: These cranes are designed to operate in extreme temperatures and are made of materials that can withstand prolonged exposure to heat.
  • 3 Custom Options: We offer customization options to meet the unique needs of individual foundries.
  • 4 Precise Load Control: Foundry overhead cranes have precise controls that allow the operator to control the movement of the load.
  • 5 Safety Features: These cranes are equipped with advanced safety features such as overload protection, emergency stop buttons, and automatic brakes.

Application

  • 1 Transporting Molten Metal: Safely lifting and moving molten metal from the furnace to casting molds or ladles.
  • 2 Feeding Molten Metal into Furnaces: Loading molten metal into furnaces for further processing or alloying.
  • 3 Pouring and Casting: Positioning ladles for accurate pouring into molds or casting equipment.
  • 4 Furnace Maintenance: Assisting with maintenance tasks, such as lifting furnace lids, replacing refractory bricks, or removing components for servicing.
  • 5 Handling Heavy Materials: Lifting and transporting large ingots, slabs, or other solidified metal products.
  • 6 Removing Slag and Waste Materials: Removing waste products like slag from the furnace area for disposal or recycling.
  • 7 Maintenance and Repair of Equipment: Supporting other heavy equipment in the foundry, such as lifting components during equipment repairs or maintenance.
  • 8 Charging and Loading: Foundry cranes load raw materials like scrap, ore, and flux into the furnace charging area.
