Henan Mine Fully Automated Coke Drum Crane: Pioneering Unmanned Upgrades in Coking Industry —— Benchmark Project Case in Coking Sector

Fully Automated Coke Drum Cranes serve as material transfer equipment in the coking industry. Their automation level, stability, and energy efficiency directly determine a coking enterprise’s production efficiency, safety standards, and green transformation outcomes.

Henan Mine has emerged as a global leader in lifting equipment supply. The successful commissioning of two sets of fully automated coke drum cranes customized for a client represents not only another industry-leading achievement following the Jiujiang Coking Intelligent Coke Drum Crane, but also signifies the company’s sustained leadership in unmanned lifting technology for the coking sector.

I. Core Benchmark Project

1. Project Overview: Advanced Automation Requirements for Coking Enterprises

As a critical link in the steel industry chain, the coke tank transfer process in coking faces demanding conditions characterized by “high temperatures, heavy loads, and continuous operation.” Traditional manually operated cranes suffer from low efficiency, high safety risks, and significant labor costs.

A major coking enterprise partnering in this initiative is advancing its “intelligent and green” transformation. Its core objective is achieving “unmanned intervention, precision efficiency, and controllable safety” in coke drum transfer. This necessitates a fully automated coke drum crane tailored to coking production processes to support production line upgrades and capacity expansion.

Addressing this core need, Henan Mine custom-engineered two sets of fully automated coke drum cranes specifically for the coking industry. These cranes perfectly align with the client’s production requirements and, upon deployment, became the “key equipment” for the enterprise’s unmanned production, completely resolving numerous pain points of traditional operations.

2. Core Product Advantages

This batch of fully automated coke drum cranes addresses industry pain points through technological innovation, with core advantages spanning four dimensions: automation, precision, energy efficiency, and adaptability.

Fully Automated, Unmanned Operation for Cost Reduction and Efficiency Boost: Equipped with a fully automated control system, remote video monitoring, and human-machine interaction technology, these coke drum cranes enable unmanned operation throughout the entire transfer process—from grabbing and transporting coke drums to precise placement—eliminating the need for on-site manual intervention. They set the standard as the industry’s premier unmanned, fully automated coke drum cranes.

Variable Frequency Drive + Precision Positioning, Energy-Efficient and High-Performance: Utilizing an advanced variable frequency drive system across the entire vehicle, it offers a wide speed range, rapid response, and positioning accuracy of ±5mm. This ensures perfect compatibility with coke drums and coke ovens while significantly reducing operational costs for customers, making it the preferred solution for energy-efficient, precision-positioning automated coke drum cranes.

Precision Anti-Sway, Smooth and Safe: Dual technologies—electrical centralized control and mechanical anti-sway assistance—ensure stable operation even under heavy loads and frequent start-stop cycles, showcasing the core advantage of coking industry precision anti-sway fully automated coke drum cranes.

• Customized Adaptation, Superior Performance: Exclusively developed for coking industry production processes, from structural design and system integration to component selection, it meets the demands of dusty, continuous operation environments, ensuring long-term stable performance under complex conditions.

3. Industry Endorsement

The successful implementation of this project marks another milestone for Henan Mine’s intelligent lifting equipment in the coking industry. Previously, the company’s customized intelligent coke drum crane for Jiujiang Coking has become an industry benchmark. The deployment of this fully automated coke drum crane further validates our deep expertise in R&D, manufacturing, and adaptation of lifting equipment for the coking sector.
