STEEL & METALLURGY / LIFTING SOLUTIONS
Blast Furnace Grab Crane Automation Solution
A blast-furnace material bay can be hot, humid and misty, making direct visual control and repeatable grab placement difficult.

THE LIFTING SOLUTION
Automate burden transfer despite heat, humidity and poor visibility.
A blast-furnace material bay can be hot, humid and misty, making direct visual control and repeatable grab placement difficult.
Match a heavy grab crane to the burden containers and transfer points. Combine PLC control, positioning, anti-sway and environmental sensing so grabbing and discharge remain controlled during low-visibility operation.
HANDLING SEQUENCE
How the solution works.
Follow the load through the operation to see where lifting equipment, tooling and controls must work together.
Transfer remotely
Move the loaded grab along a programmed route with position and obstacle checks.
Discharge predictably
Control release above the receiving point and record the cycle for remote supervisors.
ENGINEERING DECISIONS
What determines the final configuration?
These choices affect safety, process fit and the operating life of the installation.
Harsh-environment structure
Account for heat, humidity, mist and fatigue in the bridge and mechanisms.
Visibility-independent control
Validate sensors and safe fallback when camera or position data is degraded.

PROJECT 01
Guangxi Chiji blast-furnace project
Four 32 t intelligent grab cranes were supplied within a 59-crane package for Guangxi Chiji Steel's 2060 m³ blast-furnace project, with remote scheduling and low-visibility automatic transfer.
RELEVANT EQUIPMENT
Equipment options for this solution.
These product families support the handling tasks above. The final crane and attachment are selected from the site brief.
SPECIFICATION BRIEF
What we need to size your crane.
Send the operating brief and the relevant layout drawings. The resulting proposal can address capacity, geometry, duty, controls, installation interface and safety requirements as one system.
