Ladle Crane: Key Equipment in Steel Casting

Product Introduction

Ladle Crane, or casting crane, is the main equipment in the continuous casting process of steel manufacturing, mainly used to lift and transfer liquid steel (iron) ladle. Structurally, it is mainly divided into double-beam double-track, four-beam four-track and four-beam six-track types. Among them, double-beam double-track and four-beam four-track are generally used for medium and large tonnage casting cranes, while four-beam six-track is mainly used for large tonnage casting cranes.

The design and manufacture of Ladle Crane embodies the characteristics of advanced technology, novel structure, safety and reliability, economic durability and easy maintenance. These cranes have a high working level (such as A7) and perform well in harsh working environments (high temperature from -10℃ to +60℃, high dust and harmful gases). In order to meet these harsh conditions, they need to be dust-proof and anti-corrosion treated.

Product Features

  • Strong load capacity: Ladle Crane has a strong load capacity and can handle loads from 60 kg to 600 tons or even larger, meeting the needs of various working conditions.
  • High safety: Safety is of vital importance for Ladle Crane, which frequently performs high-level operations. They are usually equipped with advanced safety devices such as safety brakes to ensure the safety of operation.
  • Strong adaptability: Ladle Crane can maintain stable working performance whether in an environment with high temperature, high dust or harmful gas.
  • Easy maintenance: The design of these cranes takes into account the convenience of maintenance, ensuring that operators can easily perform maintenance and maintenance.

Technical analysis

  • The bridge structure of Ladle Crane bears huge loads, especially when performing high-level operations. For bridge structures made of welded metal plates, stress concentration problems may occur at the location of complex structures. It is difficult for traditional calculation methods to give an overall consideration and accurate evaluation of stress distribution in such complex situations.
  • In order to solve this problem, engineers used finite element method and finite element analysis software to establish a discrete model that is close to reality, and analyzed the mechanical properties of the existing Ladle Crane bridge structure. By comparing with the traditional calculation results, the local structural rationality of the bridge structure can be evaluated and improved, thereby optimizing the design scheme and ensuring the safety of the Ladle Crane bridge structure.

Application and Improvement

  • Ladle Crane is widely used in large metallurgical enterprises and is an indispensable part of steel manufacturing. However, with the improvement of national standards and the frequent occurrence of safety accidents, higher requirements are put forward for the main lifting mechanism of Ladle Crane. For the main lifting mechanism that does not meet the upcoming national standard "Technical Conditions for Ladle Crane" and has recently had accidents, improvements should be made.
  • For example, by adding safety brakes to the main lifting mechanism, the safety of the equipment can be significantly improved. These safety brakes have a clear working principle and require proper commissioning, fault detection and maintenance overhaul.
