ArcelorMittal Gent (Belgium) , AM flagship plant in Europe, confirms its technological partnership with Danieli concerning the supply of High tech/ High reliability Cranes.
ArcelorMittal Gent (Belgium) , AM flagship plant in Europe, confirms its technological partnership with Danieli concerning the supply of High tech/ High reliability Cranes.
On December 2014, the prestigious European Steelmaker awarded Danieli the order for its new 460 ton EOT teeming crane, 4 girders type, for its Gent Steelmaking shop.

This strategic production tool, fundamental to insure the plant productivity, is designed with the following operating and safety features:
 
  • Double hoisting speed through two independent motors connected by planetary gears.
  • Safe full load hoisting and lowering with one motor only at half speed, in case of one motor or related controls failure.
  • Safe Rope reeving arrangement on main hoist (load is safely suspended and safely lowered even in case of one rope failure).
  • Safety brakes acting on drum flange with hydraulic control, automatically set in case of over speed due to any cause.
  • Overload protection for all the hoist units by electronic load cells.
  • Trolley translation movement arrange with four motors, the trolley will operate also in case of one or two motor or related control failure.
  • Bridge traveling movement arranged with four motors, the bridge will operate also in case of one or two motor or related control failure.
  • Automation and Drives assembled inside air-conditioned electrical room.
  • Integrated Automation software to assist the operator with automatic crane positioning along the building bay
  • Air conditioning system for electrical room arranged with redundant solution also with half conditioning units in operation the inside electrical room temperature will be maintained below 35 °C with outside temperature of 70°C
  • High-Tech Crane Monitoring system to perform Crane working cycles recording, Crane Component Faults recording system, Preventive maintenance planning, Component Trouble-shooting to reduce maintenance operator intervention time.
In order to optimize the activities on site for the erection as well as minimizing commissioning schedule, the crane will be completely preassembled and pre commissioned before the shipment, including the execution of all crane movements and cold testing of the equipment, in Danieli headquarters workshops in Italy, one of the few heavy mechanical workshops in Europe that allows the assembly of such huge equipment both in weight , in excess of 700 tons, and overall dimensions, being as tall as a 4 store building, when fully erected.

This will allow to execute the complete mechanical and electrical assembly of the crane, including its full cabling and relevant testing, in optimal workshop conditions avoiding any possible inconvenience that may occur executing such a complex job on site.

This order confirms Customer satisfaction about Danieli technical solutions, being the 3rd order in a row for cranes that AM Gent awards to Danieli, following 2 orders for coil handling cranes (one under commissioning and one under engineering stage) and the order for a 50 ton high speed unloader, also at present under advanced engineering stage.

AM and Danieli have a long lasting partnership concerning cranes dating back to 2001, with qualifying references in operation in AM Dunkerque ( France) , AM Bremen ( Germany), AM Acindar ( Argentina) and AM Dobra Gorniza ( Poland ), just to mention some of them.

High reliability, maintenance friendly solutions, overall engineering of the crane co developed with Customer operational team and with specific emphasis to ergonomics, as well as comprehensive operator oriented solutions, are always the key decisive factors in the selection of AM teams and on which Danieli proved with facts is superiority.

Danieli outstanding references in operation: 420 ton EOT Crane at ArcelorMittal Bremen ( Germany).
