Henan Mine 360t Foundry Crane: Heavy-Duty Empowerment for Efficient Steel Production —— Luzhou Xinyang Vanadium-Titanium Steel Plant

Foundry cranes serve as the “heavy-duty backbone” of the steel and metallurgical industries. Their large-tonnage load capacity, operational stability, and intelligent capabilities directly determine the production breakthroughs and safety thresholds of major steel enterprises. Guided by its “Premium Strategy + Technological Breakthroughs” approach, Henan Mine has delivered heavy-tonnage lifting solutions for major projects in steel, water conservancy, and nuclear power across over 130 countries and regions. Among these, the custom-designed 360t heavy-tonnage casting crane for Luzhou Xinyang Vanadium-Titanium Steel Plant perfectly meets the demands of a 2-million-ton steel production capacity.

I. Core Benchmark Project

1. Project Overview: Extreme Heavy-Load Demands of Large Steel Enterprises

As a regional core steel producer, Luzhou Xinyang Vanadium-Titanium Steel Plant is committed to establishing a 2-million-ton premium steel production base. Its core production processes require a high-end casting crane capable of “heavy-load lifting, precision operation, and safety control.”
Addressing this critical need, Henan Mine’s custom-designed 360t Foundry Crane has been successfully deployed and is operating with stable precision, earning high praise from Plant Manager Wang Junli.

2. Core Product Advantages

• Integrated Machining Process, Reinforcing Heavy-Load Foundation: The bridge and trolley frames are machined as a single unit using large-scale equipment, completely eliminating precision deviations caused by separate machining. This significantly enhances assembly accuracy and operational performance. The 360t heavy-duty foundry crane demonstrates a 35% improvement in deformation resistance compared to conventional industry equipment when handling long-term heavy loads like molten steel ladles. This provides structural assurance for continuous production at the 2 million ton capacity.
• Intelligent Transmission Control for Precise, Efficient Operation: Utilizing fully digital thyristor stator voltage regulation and variable frequency speed control as core technologies, it achieves adaptive adjustment for “slow, precise positioning under heavy loads and rapid transfer under light loads,” with speed control accuracy reaching ±0.3m/min. Integrated fault self-diagnosis and precise positioning functions keep operational errors within ±10mm for heavy-tonnage casting cranes in the steel industry, significantly reducing material transfer wait times and boosting operational efficiency by 40%.
• Redundant Design + Safety Monitoring: Fortifying the Safety Barrier: All core mechanisms employ redundant design paired with a full-process safety monitoring system. This system continuously tracks equipment status, issues early warnings for potential failures, and completely eliminates safety hazards during heavy-load operations. It sets the industry benchmark for high-reliability redundant design in foundry cranes, ensuring zero accidents in high-risk operations like molten steel handling.

II. Corporate Hard Power

Overseas clients prioritize “controllable quality + independent technology” when selecting heavy-tonnage lifting equipment. Henan Mine’s core strengths manifest in:

• Quality Control: Upholding the production philosophy of “iron-fisted management and ruthless quality control,” we established 18 quality enhancement teams covering the entire product lifecycle—from R&D and manufacturing to service—ensuring every unit meets international quality standards.
• Technology & Capacity: Equipped with over 600 welding/machining robots and 100+ automated production lines, enabling in-house manufacturing of core components for heavy-duty cranes. Products hold multiple international certifications including ISO, CE, and FEM, fully compliant with global industry standards across regions.
• Domestic Benchmark Cases: Beyond the Luzhou Xinyang 360t project, multiple premium heavy-duty products are deployed in major engineering initiatives—including a 250t gantry crane for a hydropower station, a 160t double-girder casting crane for Meishan Steel, a 200t four-girder casting crane for Maanshan Steel, Chengdu Metallurgical’s 280t four-girder casting crane, etc. These cover core sectors like steel, water conservancy, and metallurgy, demonstrating full-scenario adaptability.
  

III. Global Expansion Cases

Henan Mine’s heavy-duty casting cranes have successfully expanded internationally, adapting to major projects with diverse global operating conditions, further validating their reliability and versatility:

• Southeast Asian Steel Mill (1.8M Tons Annual Capacity): Supplied 2 units of 320/80t casting cranes. Upgraded moisture-proof and anti-corrosion designs for high-temperature, high-humidity environments. Core mechanisms feature redundant design. Operated continuously for 3 years without failure, enabling the client to achieve 150,000 tons monthly billet production.
• A European specialty steel plant: Customized one 300/70t casting crane compliant with EU CE certification and environmental standards. Integrated remote monitoring and intelligent diagnostics systems seamlessly interface with the client’s existing digital production platform, enabling full-process visualization and control of molten steel handling.
• A large metallurgical project in the Middle East: Supplied two 280/60t casting cranes engineered to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations and sandstorms in desert regions. Enhanced heat dissipation and sealing performance maintained positioning accuracy within ±10mm under heavy loads, securing long-term contract renewals.

IV. Dedicated Service System for International Clients

Addressing core concerns of overseas heavy-tonnage crane clients, we established a comprehensive worry-free service mechanism for seamless collaboration:

Customized R&D: Deliver full-cycle tailored services—from parameter design and 3D simulation to prototype testing—based on project capacity requirements, operating conditions (high temperature, corrosion, temperature fluctuations), and local industry standards (CE/FEM/DIN).

Global Logistics & Compliance: Partnering with international logistics giants like Maersk and COSCO Shipping to resolve challenges in transporting oversized components for 360-ton cranes and handling cross-border customs clearance, ensuring timely and compliant delivery to designated locations.
