Core Technical Advantages
- Extreme High-Temperature Protection for Harsh Conditions
To withstand the 1100°C radiant heat from red-hot coke inside the tank, the lid employs a 200mm-thick insulation layer of 1400°C zirconia-containing ceramic fiber modules, secured with 310S stainless steel anchors. This effectively blocks heat conduction, preventing damage to the main structure. The main beam utilizes Q690 high-strength low-alloy structural steel to ensure long-term stable operation. The electrical system features an IP67 high-protection-grade design paired with sealed dustproof cooling modules, completely mitigating the impact of dust and high temperatures on electrical components. - Precision Positioning & Anti-Sway for Operational Safety
Utilizes a variable frequency speed control system + rigid guidance structure to achieve lifting positioning accuracy of ±30mm and operational positioning accuracy of ±15mm, exceeding the JB_T 13989-2020 coke drum crane standard requirements. Integrates dual systems of centralized electrical control and mechanical anti-sway assistance, limiting swing angle to within ±1° during coke drum handling, completely eliminating the risk of hot coke spillage.
Equipped with an AI vision monitoring system, it uses high-definition cameras to capture real-time hook-to-octagonal-frame connection status with >99.9% accuracy. This system provides timely alerts for anomalies like hook misalignment or empty hooks, triggering proactive intervention via the PLC system. - Full-Process Automation for Enhanced Efficiency
Supports remote video monitoring and human-machine interaction, enabling unmanned operation throughout the entire process—from coke reception, lifting, and lateral transfer to positioning at the dry quencher top and unloading—eliminating on-site manual intervention and completely mitigating risks of high temperatures and dust exposure to operators.
Seamless integration with coking plant MES and WMS . Receives operational commands via industrial Ethernet, automatically plans travel paths, and uploads real-time data including load weight, operation counts, and equipment status. Enables closed-loop management of the entire production process, boosting operational efficiency by over 25% compared to traditional manual operations. - Safety Redundancy Design Eliminates Production Risks
The hoisting mechanism and electrical control system feature dual redundancy design with dual backup for critical components, preventing equipment failure due to single points of failure. Equipped with nine major safety protections—including overload protection, hoist limit switches, trolley buffer limit switches, and emergency braking—any hazardous scenario triggers one-button shutdown. For unexpected power outages, an integrated UPS emergency power supply automatically drives the crane to smoothly lower the coke drum to a safe position, preventing production line blockages or hot coke spills.
- Modular Customization for Diverse Requirements
Adopting a modular design philosophy, core parameters can be customized to meet specific needs. Lifting capacities range from 80-160 tons, with spans ranging from 16 to 30 meters and lifting heights from 18 to 30 meters, precisely matching the layout requirements of coking plants of varying scales. For special operating conditions, explosion-proof and corrosion-resistant upgrades can be customized to ensure stable operation in complex environments. The modular design also enhances component interchangeability, reducing maintenance costs.
