Ladle Crane

A ladle crane is a type of overhead crane specifically designed for the lifting and transporting of molten metal in a foundry or metallurgical plant. These cranes are equipped with a large ladle, typically made of refractory materials, which is used to hold and pour the molten metal. Ladle cranes are engineered with heat-resistant components to withstand the high temperatures generated by the molten metal. They are also designed for precision and stability to ensure the safe handling of the ladle and its contents. Ladle cranes play a crucial role in the production process of metal industries by facilitating the movement of molten metal from one location to another within the manufacturing facility.

Confirming to IS 4137

FEATURES OF LADLE CRANES :

Ladle cranes are designed to be operated efficiently, uninterruptedly and safely in continuous use. The design conforms to the requirements of Relevant IS standards.

Due to a higher risk level, special safety features are designed for the ladle cranes that transport molten metal. The main hoist mechanism includes four independent rope reevings, double service brakes on primary shafts, and backup brake acting on the rope drum. Rope equalizer beams are provided with a dampening unit to slow down equalizer beam tilting in case of wire rope failure. An upper emergency stop limit switch is also used in the main hoist. In addition to this overload protection, the ‘emergency stop’ system bypassed from PLC, derailment supports, main hoist over speed supervision, and end limit switches are automatically standard features of the equipment.

UNIQUE FEATURES:

• State-of-the-art designs confirms to Indian and International Standards.
• Easy to commission, having maximum rigidity with a minimum dead load
• Safe and reliable hoisting and travelling
• Girders are cambered to an account equal to the deflection caused by dead load and half the live load of trolley
• Full length platforms on both sides for ease of maintenance
• Micro speed will be attained through (VFD) Drives
• Steel Core hoist rope having minimum factor of  safety of 8
• Safety and better productivity are ensured with advanced automation option
• Safe and substantial production of cranes in compliance with ISO 9001
• Higher efficiency to save power
• All motions are protected with limit switches
