If a factory's conveying system cannot meet the work needs, professional crane suppliers will provide reasonable solutions. As a Chinese crane supplier that has provided overhead cranes to the world for 30 years, Dongqi Crane has experience in crane service in multiple professional industries. The case shared by Dongqi Crane today is a smelting factory customizing a bridge crane to meet the needs of handling materials such as cobalt, nickel, zinc and copper.
Each crane comes with a container revolver hoist, one 8.0m3 grab hoist, and one monorail, with respective capacities of 65 tons, 35 tons and 10 tons. bNth perform exactly the same functions. The bridges span 32m and have a lifting height of 15m, and have a FEM duty rating of 5m, the highest, meaning the cranes are designed to operate to work in heavy-duty conditions for long periods.
Trains carry the remains of preliminary copper production in closed-top containers to the facility. The cranes handle materials containing cobalt, nickel, zinc and copper for further processing and purification.
Prior to implementing the new set-up, the customer used a conventional bulk transit system to transport material. The system, consisting of a rotating frame with open-top containers mounted on a hopper, was fed to a conveyor belt by a reach stacker. This system was said to be temporary, slow and inefficient.
Crane supplier says that following an increase in demand, the metallurgy plant had to consider another form of transport and equipment.
The customer wanted a solution that was reliable, quick to install and cost-effective, could be integrated into existing transport processes, had minimal environmental impact and had zero commodity loss when handled. It also had to achieve higher speeds and very limited downtimes. The customer selected BVS Cranes, due to “its proven past track record in similar applications in the copper, gold, aluminium and steel industries not only in Europe but also in Central Asia, Africa and Australia”.
Since the installation, cycle times have dropped from 15-20 minutes with the original system to less than three minutes today, according to the plant’s engineering team.
As a crane supplier, we have been committed to providing efficient and reliable material handling solutions to various industries. Years of experience accumulation and technological innovation have enabled us to accumulate rich experience in crane design, manufacturing and service. Here, we are willing to share our experience summaries with all industries and jointly discuss the future development direction of crane technology.
Different industries have different demands for cranes. Therefore, we always adhere to customer demand-oriented and have an in-depth understanding of the characteristics and material handling needs of each industry. Through in-depth communication with customers, we are able to customize crane solutions for customers to ensure that the crane can be perfectly integrated into the customer's production process and improve production efficiency.
Technological innovation is the core driving force for the development of the crane industry. We always pay attention to the latest developments in crane technology and constantly introduce new technologies, new materials and new processes to improve the performance of cranes. For example, we use advanced control systems and sensor technologies to achieve precise positioning and automatic control of cranes, improving handling efficiency and safety.
Safety is a top priority in crane design and manufacturing. We strictly abide by national and industry safety standards and specifications, use high-strength, wear-resistant materials, and strengthen the structural design and safety protection measures of the crane. At the same time, we also provide customers with comprehensive safety training and operating guidance to ensure the safety and reliability of the crane during use.
Excellent service is the key to building long-term customer relationships. We provide customers with a full range of services and support from crane selection, design, manufacturing, installation to commissioning, maintenance and upgrades. We have a professional technical team that can quickly respond to customer needs, solve problems encountered during use, and ensure the stable operation of the crane.
With the improvement of environmental awareness, more and more industries have begun to pay attention to the environmental protection performance of cranes. We actively respond to this trend and use environmentally friendly materials and energy-saving technologies to reduce the energy consumption and emissions of cranes. At the same time, we also provide customers with green and environmentally friendly crane solutions to help customers achieve sustainable development.
The crane industry is an international industry, and exchanges and cooperation with international counterparts help us understand the latest technological developments and market trends. We actively participate in international crane exhibitions and technical exchange activities, establish cooperative relationships with outstanding crane suppliers around the world, and jointly promote the development of the crane industry.
