Client: Medium-sized steel plant (scrap steel recycling & remelting workshop)
Overview: Antopcranes supplied hydraulic grab cranes for a steel plant’s scrap recycling and remelting workshop, addressing the challenge of efficient and clean handling of bulk scrap steel (including waste steel plates, steel pipes, and steel scraps). These cranes not only improve the scrap feeding efficiency but also ensure the cleanliness of the production environment, helping the client optimize the recycling process and reduce resource waste.
Key Client Requirements:
- High Grab Capacity: Handle bulk scrap steel with a single grab capacity of 8 cubic meters, meeting the daily feeding demand of 1000+ tons for the remelting furnace.
- Wear & Tear Resistance: The grab bucket must withstand friction and impact from sharp scrap steel, requiring high-strength wear-resistant materials.
- Environmental Protection & Cleanliness: Minimize scrap leakage and dust generation during handling to comply with environmental protection standards and maintain a clean workshop environment.
- Flexible Operation: Support multi-angle grabbing and precise feeding, adapting to different piles of scrap steel and the feeding port of the remelting furnace.
Result: The hydraulic grab cranes customized by Antopcranes fully met the client’s production needs. The grab bucket, made of high-strength manganese steel, demonstrated excellent wear resistance and impact resistance, with a service life extended by 50% compared to ordinary grab buckets. The optimized bucket structure and hydraulic control system enabled a single grab capacity of 8.5 cubic meters, exceeding the client’s expected 8 cubic meters, and the daily scrap handling capacity reached 1200 tons, improving feeding efficiency by 20%. The sealed design of the grab bucket and the equipped dust suppression device effectively reduced scrap leakage and dust diffusion, helping the workshop pass the local environmental protection inspection. The wireless remote control and intelligent operation system allowed operators to control the crane flexibly, realizing precise feeding into the remelting furnace and reducing material waste by 8%.
