PERFORMANCE
Gantry Ladle Hook with spreader is a lifting equipment specially used in the metallurgical industry (such as steel mills and foundries), mainly used for lifting, tipping and pouring operations of high-temperature ladles. It combines the stability of the gantry (portal structure) with the flexibility of the special hook sling, and can safely and efficiently handle high-temperature molten metal.
Equipment composition and structural features
(1) Gantry (portal structure)
Main frame: welded from steel or box beams, with high strength and deformation resistance.
Legs and tracks: support the entire structure, which can be fixed or moved along the ground track by an electric trolley (mobile gantry crane).
Beam: install the lifting trolley and sling, and the span is designed according to the size of the ladle and the process requirements.
(2) Special ladle hook sling
Hook group: forged with high-temperature resistant alloy steel, usually with a double or four-hook symmetrical design to ensure the balance of the ladle.
Lifting beam: connects the hook to the lifting mechanism, with a swivel function to achieve ladle tipping (manual or electric drive).
Thermal insulation:
The hook and beam are covered with refractory materials or equipped with insulation boards.
The wire rope or chain is equipped with a high temperature resistant sheath (such as ceramic fiber).
PURPOSE
Gantry Ladle Hook with Spreader is mainly used for molten steel transfer and pouring in the metallurgical industry, and is a key equipment in the steel smelting and casting process. It is widely used in steel mills, foundries and continuous casting production lines to carry out the lifting, precise tipping and pouring of ladles from refining furnaces to continuous casting machines or die casting areas. Its high temperature resistant and high stability design is particularly suitable for handling high-temperature molten metals (such as molten steel and molten iron), and can be adapted to ladles of different capacities (such as 80 tons, 120 tons, etc.) to meet the needs of efficient and safe continuous production. In addition, in large metal processing plants and heavy machinery manufacturing, such equipment can also be used for the lifting and positioning of heavy containers.
