Improving performances and reliability – New Technologies for Meltshop cranes (Room 209 C)

Presentation of the latest technologies applied to process cranes in steelmaking plants to improve their performances and operations reliability. Since today’s cranes are highly interconnected with the main process of steel plants, new technical solutions are required to guarantee and enhance the functioning of plants around the clock. Maintaining the focus on operator’s and plant’s safety, the presentation will range from redundancy systems on gearboxes, motors and inverters used to reduce machines downtime, to the latest technologies applied to meltshop cranes for cycles and operations standardization.
