1. Core Features: Adapted for Harsh Metallurgical Environments, Balancing Efficiency and Safety
(1) High-temperature resistance and corrosion protection for extreme conditions
- Material upgrade: Main and end beams utilize Q355B high-strength steel. Critical load-bearing components undergo quenching and tempering treatment, with high-temperature corrosion-resistant coatings applied to surfaces. Withstands radiant temperatures exceeding 800°C, ensuring long-term stable operation in high-temperature dusty and acid/alkali corrosive environments while preventing thermal deformation and rusting.
- Fully Sealed Protection: Core components like motors, reducers, and electrical control cabinets feature IP67-rated fully sealed designs with forced air cooling systems to prevent dust and high-temperature gas ingress, ensuring component longevity. Wire ropes use high-temperature graphite grease for enhanced wear resistance in extreme heat.
- Heat Radiation Protection: Hooks, drums, and other components are fitted with heat shields to minimize damage from high-temperature radiation. High-temperature bearings are used in the trolley and hoist running mechanisms, enabling long-term operation in high-temperature work zones.

(2) Full-Process Automation for Enhanced Production Efficiency
- Intelligent Precision Control: Equipped with a PLC intelligent control system + laser positioning module, achieving positioning accuracy of ±5mm. Enables precise handling and placement of materials like material tanks, ladles, and billets on metallurgical production lines, realizing “unmanned” fully automated operation;
- Multi-Equipment Coordination: Seamlessly integrates with MES and ERP systems of metallurgical production lines, enabling coordinated operation of multiple cranes. Tasks are automatically allocated based on production rhythms to prevent process bottlenecks;
- High-Efficiency Operation Mode: Utilizes variable frequency speed control technology for precise adjustment of lifting and travel speeds. Ensures stable operation under heavy loads, boosting efficiency by over 40% compared to traditional metallurgical cranes. A single unit can complete over 300 operations daily—including ladle transfer and billet hoisting—meeting the high-frequency demands of metallurgical operations.
(3) Multi-layered Safety Redundancy, Fortifying Production Defenses
- Comprehensive Safety Monitoring: Equipped with multiple safety devices including high-temperature monitoring, overload protection, off-center load warning, travel limit switches, and anti-collision systems. Continuously monitors equipment status, triggering automatic shutdown and alarms upon anomalies;
- Emergency Protection Design: Features an emergency power system enabling smooth braking during sudden power outages to prevent material drops; A manual emergency operation device allows switching to manual mode under special circumstances, ensuring production continuity.
- Compliance certification assurance: The product holds a National Special Equipment Manufacturing License (Class A) and complies with metallurgical lifting equipment standards including GB/T 14405-2011 and GB 6067, enabling smooth acceptance by special equipment inspection institutes and industry safety audits.

Your Most Pressing Questions About Henan Mine's Fully Automatic Metallurgical Cranes and Professional Answers
-
Our workshop temperatures frequently reach 850°C. Can your fully automatic metallurgical cranes operate stably long-term? Will they experience high-temperature deformation or component damage?Professional Answer: Absolutely. Our fully automatic metallurgical cranes are specifically engineered for high-temperature metallurgical environments. For 850°C conditions, we implement triple core protection: First, the main girder and end beams use Q355B high-strength steel, further tempered to deliver far superior high-temperature resistance than standard steel, preventing thermal deformation. Second, all core components—including motors and reducers—feature forced air cooling systems and fully sealed protective covers. This isolates high-temperature radiation while preventing dust ingress. Third, components directly contacting high-temperature materials, such as hooks and reels, are fitted with specialized heat shields. Regular replacement of high-temperature grease further enhances thermal resistance.
-
How reliable is fully automated operation? Could positioning inaccuracies or grabbing failures occur?Professional Answer: Absolutely reliable. Our equipment achieves positioning accuracy of ±5mm with near-zero grabbing errors. This is enabled by our high-precision laser positioning module + PLC intelligent control system. We also pre-program the grabbing, transfer, and placement paths and points based on your production line's specific cycle time. During operation, the equipment continuously calibrates its position in real-time, eliminating positioning deviations.
-
Our existing production line already has a control system. Can your fully automated metallurgical crane integrate seamlessly?Professional Answer: Absolutely! Seamless integration is guaranteed without disrupting existing operations. Our fully automated metallurgical cranes support integration with mainstream MES, ERP, and other production line control systems. Regardless of your current system brand, our technical team provides on-site customized interface development to ensure data interoperability and collaborative control.
-
Are fully automated systems complicated to operate and maintain? Will our staff struggle to learn them?Professional Answer: Operation and maintenance are not complex at all—in fact, they're simpler than traditional cranes with lower maintenance costs! Our equipment features a visual operating console with an intuitive interface and clear icon-based core functions. We provide 1-2 complimentary on-site training sessions and prepare easy-to-understand manuals for staff. With hands-on instruction, full proficiency is typically achieved within 1-2 days.
-
What are the safety safeguards for the equipment?Professional Answer: Safety is the absolute priority for metallurgical lifting equipment. From design to production, every step prioritizes safety. We implement five major safety safeguards: 1. Overload and off-center load protection, 2. Travel limit switches and collision prevention, 3. High-temperature and fault monitoring, 4. Emergency power supply backup, 5. Manual emergency operation—switching to manual mode is possible under any circumstances.
-
Compared to traditional metallurgical cranes, the fully automatic model is significantly more expensive.Professional Answer: While the initial purchase price of fully automated metallurgical cranes exceeds traditional equipment, their overall cost-effectiveness is superior. The payback period is notably short, typically recovering the price difference within 1.5 to 2 years.
