Description

Reference configuration only. Molten-metal handling is a high-risk application. Final design, redundancy, heat protection, duty, controls and applicable safety standards must be based on a formal process-risk assessment and confirmed in the written technical proposal.

A foundry crane is a process crane intended for handling ladles and other loads in foundry or steelmaking environments. The complete system must be engineered around molten-metal risk, thermal exposure and the required operating cycle.

Typical Applications

• Charging and transfer of molten metal
• Ladle handling in foundries
• Casting-bay operations
• Furnace and converter service
• Process maintenance in high-temperature areas

Features

• Process-specific bridge and trolley arrangement
• Heat-shielding concept for exposed components
• Duty selection based on actual production cycles
• Operator visibility and service-access planning
• Customizable according to project requirements

Optional Configurations

• Main and auxiliary lifting mechanisms
• Redundant safeguards where required by the risk assessment
• Protected operator cab or remote operation
• Condition monitoring and event recording
• High-temperature cables, controls and component protection

Safety Systems

• Overload, overspeed and travel-limit protection
• Brake configuration and monitoring defined by risk assessment
• Emergency stop, warning and access-interlock systems
• Thermal protection and controlled failure strategy
• Anti-collision, zoning and restricted-area functions where required

Applicable Industries

Foundries, steelmaking, non-ferrous metal processing and high-temperature process facilities.
