Automated Metallurgical Cranes for a Ulanqab Ferroalloy Plant
Automated charging cranes coordinate attachment engagement, material transfer and hopper positioning for a ferrochrome production project.
The project and its handling task.
Henan Mine Crane developed multiple automated metallurgical cranes for a ferrochrome project in Ulanqab. The lifting task links raw-material pickup to the charging process in a demanding production environment.
Centralized remote control manages hooking, unhooking and feeding sequences. Positioning algorithms and anti-sway functions help the attachment approach the hopper with controlled suspended-load movement.
Move ferroalloy charge material through a controlled, remote sequence.
Ferroalloy charging combines frequent raw-material pickups with a harsh process area where manual hook handling slows the cycle.
Record the charging bin, pickup position and receiving hopper for each material.
Coordinate attachment engagement, travel and positioning before releasing the charge.
Test repeatability, visibility, fault response and safe manual recovery with the real material.

What to compare with your own project.
Match the project configuration to your load, layout and operating sequence before selecting a crane package.
| Design area | This project configuration | Define for your site |
|---|---|---|
| Application | Ferrochrome production and furnace material feeding | Material and container dimensions. Define the required operating envelope and acceptance checks in your technical brief. |
| Control | Centralized remote intelligent control | Hopper layout and travel distance. Define the required operating envelope and acceptance checks in your technical brief. |
| Operating sequence | Automatic hooking, release and material feeding | Charging cycles per shift. Define the required operating envelope and acceptance checks in your technical brief. |
| Positioning | Position control algorithms and anti-sway | Remote-control and interlock requirements. Define the required operating envelope and acceptance checks in your technical brief. |
| Monitoring | Multiple protective functions and operating-state monitoring | Material and container dimensions. Define the required operating envelope and acceptance checks in your technical brief. |

In operation.
The cranes entered service at the ferroalloy project. The configuration brings repetitive feeding and attachment movements into a supervised automatic sequence.
For a similar project, design the crane, grab or charging attachment, hopper locations and remote control as one process cell. Automatic pickup, travel and release are governed by position feedback and anti-sway control, while operators supervise from a safer location.
Continue from the project to the right crane family.
Use the project as a reference and specify the crane against your own yard layout and cargo.

Questions before specifying a similar crane.
Can the same project crane be supplied for my site?
We customize the capacity, span, lifting height, attachment and controls to the load, building or yard layout and operating cycle. Material and container dimensions is one of the inputs to review before final equipment selection.
How are certification, quantity and lead time agreed?
Single-crane and fleet enquiries are welcome. Define the destination and required standards in the enquiry. The project offer confirms certification and inspection documents, the quantity, drawing approval and manufacturing schedule, with the shipping and site-service boundaries.
What should acceptance and after-sales support include?
Agree the inspection plan, representative load and functional tests, operator training, maintenance instructions, spare-parts scope and fault-recovery procedures. For this application, include remote-control and interlock requirements in the technical review.
