Product Introduction of Henan Mine's YZD Metallurgical Bridge Crane
he core structure of Henan Mine YZD Metallurgical Bridge Cranes features a “box-type main girder + high-strength alloy steel” design, specifically optimized for high-temperature, heavy-load metallurgical applications. The equipment offers lifting capacities ranging from 5 to 200 tons, with customizable spans of 10 to 35 meters and lifting heights from 8 to 30 meters. It ensures long-term stable operation in high-temperature environments (-20°C to 160°C), dusty conditions, and corrosive media.
Featuring precise positioning, smooth operation, and impact load resistance, it is widely used in converter shops, electric arc furnace shops, continuous casting shops, non-ferrous metal smelting shops, and similar scenarios. Compared to conventional bridge cranes, it offers over 50% longer service life and reduces accident rates by 95%, serving as a critical safety safeguard for core metallurgical production processes.
Core Features: Precisely Adapted for Extreme Metallurgical Conditions
- High-Temperature Material Reinforcement: Main and end girders utilize Q355B high-strength heat-resistant alloy steel. Special heat treatment enhances high-temperature stability, enabling direct resistance to 160°C ambient temperatures and radiant heat from molten metallurgical materials.
- Multi-Layer Thermal Shielding: Hoisting and travel mechanisms feature dual-layer insulation covers—inner ceramic fiber and outer reinforced steel plate—effectively isolating core components from radiant heat. Hoisting motors and reducers incorporate forced air/water cooling systems to maintain performance under high temperatures;
- Electrical system high-temperature upgrades: Utilizes heat-resistant components and flame-retardant cables. Control cabinets feature dual cooling fans + positive pressure dust-proof systems with internal insulation panels to prevent short circuits or component damage from heat. Critical electrical joints employ high-temperature seals to block dust and corrosive media ingress.

High-strength heavy-duty structure with stable impact resistance
- Structural optimization: Main beams feature box-section design formed via CNC bending and automated submerged arc welding. Entire structure undergoes shot blasting for rust removal and finite element analysis optimization, delivering superior bending and torsional resistance. Maintains zero deformation during long-term operation under 200t heavy loads, with impact load capacity reaching 1.5 times rated load;
- Reinforced Travel Mechanism: Utilizes heavy-duty wheel sets paired with high-precision planetary reducers. Wheels are crafted from 42CrMo alloy steel with quenched treatment, delivering superior wear resistance. Ensures smooth, wobble-free operation, eliminating tilting risks during heavy-load lifting.
- Balance of Light weighting and High Strength: Optimizes material selection and structural design to reduce equipment energy consumption and enhance operational efficiency while maintaining structural integrity.
Metallurgical-Specific Safety Design with Full-Process Risk Prevention
- Customized Lifting Equipment: Features forged lifting tools with hooks made from 20CrMnTi alloy steel, certified through non-destructive testing. Dual-safety locking rings and anti-disengagement pins secure the equipment to transported materials (molten steel ladles, billets, etc.), guaranteeing zero loosening;
- Multi-layered safety monitoring: Features molten material tilt detection (immediate shutdown and alarm at >3° tilt), dual overload protection (mechanical + electrical), triple hoist height limits, collision sensors, and high-temperature warning systems for real-time operational monitoring;
- Comprehensive emergency safeguards: Standard backup power storage + emergency drive system automatically completes material placement and equipment return during sudden power outages; Emergency stop buttons are strategically placed throughout the entire system, with operational points in critical work zones for rapid response to emergencies.
Dust and Corrosion Resistance for Harsh Environments
- Enhanced Sealing Protection: Core components (motor, reducer, brake) feature IP67-rated sealed structures with added dust and molten material shields to prevent ingress of dust, corrosive media, and molten splashes that could cause component jamming or damage;
- Enhanced Anti-Corrosion Coating: After sandblasting for rust removal, the body surface receives a fluorocarbon anti-corrosion coating (primer + topcoat), effectively resisting acidic and alkaline media corrosion in metallurgical workshops. The coating lifespan exceeds 8 years.
- Easy Cleaning and Maintenance: Optimized equipment structure minimizes dust and molten material accumulation in hard-to-reach areas. Key moving parts feature automatic lubrication + dust collection devices, reducing routine maintenance complexity.

Application Scenarios of Henan Mine YZD Metallurgical Bridge Cranes
The YZD metallurgical bridge crane manufactured by Henan Mine is a core material handling equipment specifically designed for the harsh operating conditions of the metallurgical industry, including high temperatures, heavy loads, and high dust levels.
-
Blast Furnace Workshop in Ironmaking PlantsAdapted for the entire blast furnace ironmaking process, primarily used for handling molten iron ladles and furnace charge materials. At the blast furnace tapping hole, the main hook precisely lifts 30-120 ton molten iron ladles for transfer to steelmaking workshops or casting machines; the auxiliary hook assists in handling coke, iron ore, and other furnace charge materials to replenish blast furnace feedstock.
-
Steel Plant: Converter/Electric Arc Furnace WorkshopThis represents the core application scenario for YZD metallurgical cranes, handling ladle transport in converter steelmaking, scrap charging in electric arc furnaces, and ingot transfer.
-
Hot Rolling Mill in Rolling MillsAdapted for hot-rolled steel plate and structural steel production, handling high-temperature billets and supporting rolling mill maintenance. The crane lifts billets at 400–1000°C from reheating furnaces to hot rolling mills, then transports rolled steel to cooling beds.
-
Billet/Shaped Steel Finished Product WarehouseUsed for stacking and loading cooled finished products like billets, I-beams, and channel steel for external transport. Coordinated operation of main and auxiliary hooks enhances stacking efficiency. The crane's wide span coverage (7.5–35 meters) accommodates full-area operational requirements in large finished product warehouses.
-
Aluminum/Copper Smelting WorkshopsUsed for transporting molten metals and performing equipment maintenance in aluminum electrolysis cells and copper refining furnaces. In aluminum electrolysis workshops, it transports molten aluminum ladles (700–900°C) to casting machines for ingot pouring. In copper refining workshops, it transfers molten copper ladles to continuous casting and rolling production lines.
-
Non-Ferrous Metal Casting WorkshopUsed for mold handling and casting transfer of aluminum and copper alloy castings. In large aluminum alloy wheel hub casting workshops, the main hook lifts heavy casting molds while the auxiliary hook adjusts mold positioning for precise alignment with pouring stations. After cooling, castings are transported to subsequent processing stages.
-
Metallurgical Auxiliary Materials Processing ShopUsed for refractory material transfer and furnace maintenance. In the refractory materials shop, heavy stacks of refractory bricks are lifted to furnace lining stations; during furnace maintenance, components like furnace linings and heating elements are lifted.
-
Metallurgical Equipment Maintenance WorkshopUsed for overhauling and maintaining ironmaking, steelmaking, and rolling mill equipment, such as lifting heavy components like blast furnace bodies, converter rings, and rolling mill frames.
-
Selection Recommendations:1. Select lifting capacity based on molten metal weight, with a recommended 20% safety margin. 2. For direct molten metal contact (converter/blast furnace workshops), choose A8 Extra Heavy Duty + Enhanced High-Temperature Protection. Auxiliary transfer scenarios require only A6-A7 Duty Cycle. 3. Customized lifting attachments and corrosion/dust-proof configurations available for non-ferrous metal smelting. 4. Henan Mine offers on-site condition surveys to precisely customize models based on workshop span, clearance height, and operating temperatures. Intelligent monitoring systems can be added for real-time tracking of equipment status and high-temperature zone readings.
