Two Automated Coke Pot Cranes for a Coking Plant

Two coke pot cranes combine variable-frequency motion, remote video supervision and mechanical-assisted anti-sway for repeated process transfers.

PROJECT STAGEIn operation
01 / PROJECT CONTEXT

The project and its handling task.

Henan Mine Crane designed and manufactured two automated coke pot crane systems for a domestic coking enterprise. Their task is to move coke pots through the production route with consistent positioning and controlled travel.

The equipment uses variable-frequency speed control throughout. Remote video and human-machine interfaces support automatic operation, while centralized electrical control and mechanical-assisted anti-sway stabilize the pot during the transfer sequence.

02 / HANDLING REQUIREMENTS

Transfer coke pots with remote supervision and controlled anti-sway.

Coke pot handling repeats high-temperature movements where operator exposure and load swing can disrupt the charging or quenching sequence.

Filled pot and lifting gear mass

Confirm pot geometry, lifted mass and engagement points at the furnace side.

Furnace and discharge coordinates

Control acceleration and sway through the transfer path with position checks.

Thermal exposure and cycle time

Confirm the release point and reset the crane for the next pot without exposing staff to the hot zone.

Video, control and recovery requirements

Confirm the release point and reset the crane for the next pot without exposing staff to the hot zone.

06 / PROJECT OUTCOME

In operation.

Both crane systems were put into use. Their process-specific arrangement supports coke pot transfers with integrated positioning, supervision and sway control.

For a similar project, use a purpose-designed pot crane with variable-frequency travel, precise position feedback and a coordinated electrical and mechanical anti-sway system. Video supervision and human-machine controls allow the route to run automatically while retaining a recovery procedure.

07 / PLAN A SIMILAR PROJECT

Prepare a comparable crane quotation.

Share the load schedule and site drawings. Use a purpose-designed pot crane with variable-frequency travel, precise position feedback and a coordinated electrical and mechanical anti-sway system. Video supervision and human-machine controls allow the route to run automatically while retaining a recovery procedure.

We can quote a single crane or a coordinated fleet. The offer sets out the destination standards, required certificates and inspection records, manufacturing programme after drawing approval, shipment, installation support and agreed acceptance scope.

BUYER QUESTIONS

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. Filled pot and lifting gear mass 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 video, control and recovery requirements in the technical review.
