Foundry Overhead Cranes mainly used for converter charging span to blend iron to converter, refining span to lift steel to refining furnace or steel receiving span to lift steel to continuous casting ladle rotary table.
Large foundry overhead cranes (over 300 tons) use an integral large reducer model, improving the force condition of the main trolley, avoiding the disadvantage of excessive wheel pressure on the main trolley, and achieving smaller limits for the trolley's left and right movement. This enhances the lifting mechanism's safety and reliability, reduces the number of transmission links, and simplifies maintenance.
For medium and small-sized foundry cranes, models such as double-beam double-track single trolley, double trolley, and trolley with auxiliary trolley can be used. These cranes are characterized by their light weight, small dimensions, and larger single-side limit dimensions, all capable of performing the action of tipping tanks.
The main structural forms of casting cranes include: four-beam four-track double trolley, four-beam six-track double trolley, double beam single trolley, and double beam with auxiliary trolley. The structural forms of the main lifting mechanism of large casting cranes include: integral large reducer model, three-reducer model, and double-reducer model.
