As a necessary mechanical equipment for infrastructure construction, cranes are used in various places. As a special production place, the crane equipment required by the cement plant also requires special customization. The case shared today comes from a gantry crane customized by a cement plant in Pakistan.

Customized Gantry Crane for Pakistan Cement Plant

The electric hoist gantry crane using under the environment with perennial big wind speed, big wind sand, the crane installed with rail clamp, anemometer, electrical box with temperature control device, and anti-cold cables, etc. Hoisting mechanism traveling track using C-type steel slide.

Pakistani customers often have more problems with the price when customizing cranes. However, due to the special working environment of cranes, during the customization period, they should pay more attention to the working environment of the crane and whether there are special needs to avoid the inability to adapt to the working environment in the later period. Causes a malfunction. If you have any needs on the crane, please feel free to contact us.

Cement plants may have adverse factors such as dust, corrosion, and high temperatures, so it is necessary to select suitable materials and protective measures to ensure the stability and durability of the gantry crane.

What gantry cranes can do in cement plants

• Raw material hoisting: Gantry crane can be used to hoist raw materials required for cement production, such as limestone, clay, iron ore, etc. These raw materials are usually stored in outdoor cargo yards, and gantry cranes can lift these raw materials to the production line efficiently and accurately.
• Clinker hoisting: In the cement production process, clinker is an important intermediate product. Gantry cranes can be used to lift clinker from one stage of the production line to the next, ensuring a smooth production process.
• Finished product hoisting: After production is completed, the gantry crane can lift the cement finished product to the designated storage area or loading area for subsequent transportation and sales.

In addition, gantry cranes can also be used to hoist equipment, tools and other auxiliary materials to support the normal operation and maintenance of cement plants.

It should be noted that the working range of the gantry crane is limited by its span, lifting moment, trolley operating speed and other parameters. Therefore, when selecting and using a gantry crane, reasonable planning and design must be carried out according to the specific needs and conditions of the cement plant.
