This time – for the second time – we were able to implement a project in the field of crane lifting technology for our customer, who specializes in the manufacture of district heating pipes.
In production, the customer’s pipes are mechanically wound onto steel drums with a diameter of up to 5,000 mm, a width of 2,000 mm and a weight of up to 8,000 kg. These drums must now be lifted out of the machine. The problem is that the steel drum with the coiled pipe is located in the safety area of the production machine. In order to lift the drum away using a crane, it was previously necessary for an employee to enter the protected area to attach a lifting sling to the drum. To do this, the production machine is shut down. Restarting the machine takes an enormous amount of time, which is not efficient for the company. In addition, attaching the sling at a height of up to 5 m poses a high risk of accidents.
How can these drums be removed without having to send people into this safety area of the machine? It is precisely these kinds of unusual problems that are solved by the company. ING. M. SCHURZ in the right place!
For this special requirement, 2 SCHURZ crane lifting beams with a load capacity of 8,000 kg were built, which are hooked into the existing overhead crane and can be moved over the drum by the operator outside the safety area. As soon as the SCHURZ lifting device has been correctly positioned over the drum using the centering devices and guides provided, the two electro-hydraulic bolts can be moved into the recesses of the metal drum by radio remote control. Once the visual and acoustic display confirms that the drum has been securely picked up, it can now be lifted out of the safety area without any problems. The same procedure can be used to insert an empty drum into the machine.
Another advantage of our SCHURZ drum lifters is that they are radio-controlled and operate autonomously using rechargeable batteries. In this particular case, this means that no adaptation of the existing overhead crane is necessary.
