Ladle Crane

The ladle crane is a specialized model of bridge crane, mainly used for the lifting, pouring and transportation of molten steel containers in the steel smelting workshop. Its working environment is extremely harsh, with high temperatures, radiation, high levels of dust, and frequent start-stop operations.
The steel ladle bridge crane is one of the core equipment in the metallurgical industry, specifically designed for the lifting of molten metals under conditions of high temperature, high risk and heavy load. The main beam adopts a box-shaped beam reinforcement design, and a thermal insulation layer (rock wool + high-temperature-resistant steel plate) is added at the bottom to prevent deformation caused by high-temperature radiation. The four-beam double-trolley design, where the main trolley is responsible for lifting the steel ladles (equipped with a gantry hook), and the auxiliary trolley assists in the tilting operation (such as pouring molten steel).Double drum + redundant braking, the main lifting mechanism is equipped with double braking systems (brakes are installed at both ends of the high-speed shaft, and a safety pawl disc brake is added at the drum end), the motor insulation grade is H class (resistant to high temperatures), and the protection grade is IP54. The steel wire rope is made of metal core steel wire rope (with a temperature resistance of ≥ 200℃), and it is resistant to molten metal splashing. Fully enclosed pulley system: Suitable for high dust environments, prolonging service life.

 Multiple Braking Systems: The lifting mechanism is equipped with an overspeed switch + dual brakes, which will instantly lock the drum in case of a fault. When handling molten metals, two independent driving systems are required. In the event of a failure in one system, the other system can complete the work cycle.

 Real-time Monitoring Device: Anti-shake stabilizer + Inclination sensor, used to monitor the level of the molten steel ladle and prevent overturning. Overload limiter + Limit switch. It forcibly cuts off the power supply to prevent overload or over-positioning.

 High-temperature protection: The driver's cabin and electrical room are of fully insulated structure. They are equipped with industrial air conditioners. Motors and reducers use high-temperature resistant lubricating grease (≥200℃) and are accompanied by a forced air cooling system.
