The ladle crane is the main equipment in the continuous steelmaking process. It is mainly used for mixing molten iron in the converter feeding span to the converter; hoisting the molten steel ladle to the refining furnace in the refining span or hoisting the molten steel to the continuous casting machine in the molten steel receiving span.

In terms of overall structure, ladle cranes can be divided into 5 categories: four-beam four-track with double-trolley, four-beam six-track with double-trolley, double-beam double-track single trolley, double-beam four-track double-trolley, and double-beam double-track main-deputy-trolley.

The composition of ladle cranes, according to the structure of the main hoisting reducer, it mainly can be the overall large reduction type, the independent large reduction type, the three reduction type, the double reducer double drum type, the double reducer single drum type , Planetary reducer type (this type can also be various forms).

Features of Weihua Ladle Crane:

1. It uses Siemens PLC and Siemens inverter for control and drive system. At the same time, Profinet is used for communication between PLC and inverter. It is with communication detection function, which can detect the working status of each station in real time.

2. A monitoring system is installed to monitor the working status of the ladle crane in real time.

3. The lifting mechanism of the 320t ladle crane adopts redundant system design to ensure the safety and reliability of handling liquid metal.

4. It is with wireless transmission and electronic scales, carry out real-time transmission of the weight of liquid metal.

5. The ladle crane is designed with an electric room, and an electric fan is installed in the room to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the electrical equipment.

6. The 320t ladle crane hoisting mechanism adopts the planetary reducer structure. If one motor fails, it can still complete the lifting work in a short time.

7. Mother-child trolley to realize the unmanned automatic hanging ladle and save the cost.

8. The overall design of this ladle crane is with lightweight and compact structure.

9. Low height, light self-weight, small hook limit, large working range.

10. High quality parts, durable, safe and reliable.

11. Less maintenance and repair costs.

12. Small total crane power and low energy consumption.

13. Frequency control, smooth lifting and less impact.
