Ladle cranes are specialized cranes used in steel mills and other industrial facilities for transporting and pouring molten metal from ladles to molds or other containers.

Features of KUNFENG Ladle Cranes

• High lifting capacity: Ladle cranes are designed to handle heavy loads, typically ranging from 50 to 500 tons.

• Heat resistance: Ladle cranes are built to withstand the extreme heat generated by molten metal, and are often equipped with heat shields, water-cooled components, and other specialized features to protect the crane and its operators. High quality with compact structure, it’s lightweight and reliable.

• Precise control: Because of the dangerous nature of handling molten metal, ladle cranes are equipped with advanced control systems. It uses Siemens PLC and Siemens inverter for control and drive system. Communication between the PLC and inverter is done through Profinet. Additionally, it has a function that allows real-time detection of the working status of each station.

• Multiple hoists: Many ladle cranes are equipped with multiple hoists, allowing them to lift and transport multiple ladles or other loads simultaneously.

Advantages of KUNFENG Ladle Cranes

Increased safety: Ladle cranes are designed to handle heavy loads of molten metal safely and efficiently, reducing the risk of accidents or injuries to workers. Lifting mechanism of the ladle cranes adopt redundant system design to ensure the safety and reliability of handling liquid metal.

Improved productivity: Ladle cranes can move and pour molten metal quickly and precisely, allowing for faster and more efficient production processes.

Easy operation and maintenance: Human and safety oriented design to make the ladle overhead crane operation and maintenance easy and simple.
