Charging & Teeming Cranes
Charging cranes are essentially used in the steel industry for transporting scrap / liquid metal to the furnaces for melting. Built to endure extreme heat, flames, and high dust levels, these cranes ensure safe and efficient operation in demanding conditions, playing a vital role in maintaining the smooth flow of materials in steel production.
Teeming cranes are used to lift and manoeuvre ladles filled with molten steel, pouring the steel into moulds (a process called teeming) or transferring it to the continuous casting machine. They are integral to precise pouring operations, ensuring the consistency and quality of the finished product.
Features crucial
for steel plants
Charging and teeming cranes serve as the critical in the steelmaking process. They not only guarantee an uninterrupted supply of raw materials to the furnace but also execute the precise, high-temperature handling of molten steel during teeming operations. Engineered with robust automation and real-time monitoring systems, these cranes enhance operational integrity by ensuring optimal load transfer and temperature control, which are essential for maintaining material quality. Their control mechanisms and durable construction are indispensable for sustaining continuous production flow and minimising process downtime, thereby directly contributing to both operational efficiency and safety in the steel production cycle.
Interactive modelManaging molten steel requires uncompromising safety and reliability. We design charging and teeming cranes with features that safeguard both equipment and operators.
Emergency & Backup Braking System
Rapid braking power ensures controlled stoppage during system failures.
Redundancy in Critical Mechanism
A dual-layered safety system provides a fail-safe design, offering uninterrupted performance.
Automated and synchronized operations enable precise positioning and controlled pouring of molten steel, reducing wastage and operational delays while improving efficiency.
Fewer Switches, More Automation
Provides precision and prevents overrun errors during repetitive operations.
Manless Automation
Reduces human intervention in high-risk areas, increasing operator safety by allowing remote operation.
Engineered for seamless performance in challenging conditions, ensuring exceptional durability and reliability.
Aligned Operations
Efficiently aligned lifting operations ensure smooth and precise handling of heavy loads.
Product types
Double-Girder
In charging and teeming cranes, the main and auxiliary hoists are integrated into a single trolley. The auxiliary hoist, which is crucial for tilting operations, may also be mounted on a separate frame that moves along the main trolley to accommodate load-tilting requirements.
Four-Girder
Designed with independent main and auxiliary trolleys, each operating separately. The auxiliary trolley runs beneath the main trolley at a lower level, ensuring efficient load handling, ladle or bucket tilting, and enhanced operational flexibility.
