Supply, erection and commissioning of three EOT Cranes for Feralpi Group
Two units for scrap handling will be installed at the Calvisano steelmaking plant, while a third crane will be installed in Lonato to handle rebar bundles.
Two units for scrap handling will be installed at the Calvisano steelmaking plant, while a third crane will be installed in Lonato to handle rebar bundles.
A challenging, fast-track execution is necessary, with a four-month delivery required for the first crane. The bundles-handling crane is a 30-t capacity, 20-m bridge span, and a 360° rotating trolley. The two scrap-yard cranes instead will have 25-t capacity and 26-m span. All the cranes are designed in A8M8 FEM class, the highest- level duty class that results in a long service life with a 24/7working cycle.
Customized mechanical solutions had to be adopted to cope with the layout constraints and existing buildings space, in order to maximize the usage of available areas for products storage.
As a consolidated Danieli standard, advanced PLC-based control architecture is applied with operator-friendly HMIs, for load and drive control, safety operation, alarm management, and ordinary maintenance prediction.
Additionally, the cranes' design incorporates a series of Industry 4.0-oriented technology packages, to reduce maintenance shutdown times and to improve the operational safety and OpEx parameters of the concerned plant units.
The cranes will be delivered in a "plug & play" configuration, in order to minimize the plant stoppage required for installation and commissioning activities.
