electromagnet crane steel foundry

An electromagnet crane, often called an electromagnetic overhead crane, is a type of crane that's used extensively in foundries, scrap yards, and other industrial applications. The main component of this crane that sets it apart from others is its lifting magnet. This is a powerful electromagnet that can be switched on and off. When switched on, it generates a strong magnetic field, allowing it to pick up ferromagnetic materials like iron and steel. When switched off, it loses its magnetism and drops whatever it was holding.

Steel foundries often use this type of crane to move large quantities of scrap metal or to handle steel parts in various stages of the foundry process.  Electromagnet cranes are invaluable in these settings due to their ability to safely and efficiently handle heavy, metal materials.

Overview

Electromagnet crane for scrap charing in scrap yard and charging scrap into furnace in steel plant

Steel foundry electromagnet crane mainly consists of bridge, crane traveling mechanism, trolley, electric equipment and electromagnetic chuck, and could be classified into several working duties, e.g. A5, A6, A7, according to the working frequency and pure working time

When used, the rotary part of the hanger of electromagnetic disk must be locked up with screws and no rotation is allowed.

The crane mainly relies on the magnet, using the electromagnetic principles, then through electricity and magnetic plate to suck the goods firmly hanging to the designated place.
Cut the electricity, steel and irons will be lay down. It is the most convenient crane to transfer the scattered sheet metal.

Lifting material: cast ingot, steel scraps, steel ball, steel billets.

Wide use in steel plants, melting plant, waste warehouse, billet processing workshop.

Features

High working efficiency, safe and reliable operation. Perfect performance, Low maintenance.
