General purpose overhead crane
Material Suction and Discharge Crane for Baking
Product Overview
The Material Suction and Discharge Crane for Baking is a specialized, intelligent crane solution engineered by Weiyuan for the carbon industry, specifically for the baking of anode carbon blocks used in aluminium electrolysis. This crane integrates the functions of carbon block transfer, loading, filling material suction, and discharge into a single, efficient system. Featuring an independent, modular, and compact design, it is built for safety and environmental protection. With a work level of A6-A8 and variable frequency speed regulation for all primary movements, the entire crane is intelligently controlled by a PLC system to ensure precision, reliability, and optimal performance in demanding industrial environments.
Product Advantages
Integrated Multifunctionality
Combines carbon block transfer, loading, filling, suction, and discharge functions into one specialized crane, streamlining the entire anode baking process and boosting operational efficiency.
Intelligent Control System
The whole vehicle is equipped with a PLC system for intelligent control, along with variable frequency speed regulation for crane operation, lifting, and material pipe movement, ensuring precise and smooth handling.
High-Performance Dust Handling
Features an advanced dust handling system for material suction and discharge with a suction/discharge speed of 40-80 m³/h and a dust emission concentration of ≤10mg/N m³, ensuring a cleaner and safer work environment.
Auxiliary Operational Capabilities
Equipped with auxiliary suction pipes for cleaning flues and removing dust, and a 10t electric hoist on the bridge for burner maintenance, adding versatility and value beyond its primary functions.
Advanced Safety Design
Incorporates critical safety features like impact-proof limits, zero-speed hover to prevent slip hooks, and regional load limits to prevent damage and reduce dangerous situations during operation.
Enhanced Positioning and Stability
Features electric anti-sway functionality to limit loader sway, ensuring faster handling and more accurate positioning. Inching movement and dead-slow functions allow for stable and precise movement when approaching destinations.
Application Scenarios
Aluminium Electrolysis Plants
Specifically designed for the carbon industry, this crane is essential for the anode baking process in aluminium electrolysis facilities, where handling anode blocks and filler materials is a core operation.
Carbon Block Manufacturing
Ideal for facilities that produce anode carbon blocks, managing the entire lifecycle from loading green blocks into the furnace to discharging baked blocks for transport.
Bulk Material Handling Facilities
Suited for operations requiring the suction, transfer, and discharge of granular materials like coke, where dust control and efficient handling are critical priorities.
Heavy Industrial Maintenance
The inclusion of auxiliary hoists and cleaning systems makes it a valuable asset for general furnace and facility maintenance within heavy industrial plants.

FAQ
Q: What are the primary functions of this crane in the anode baking process?
A: The crane performs four key functions: (1) Loading unburned anode blocks into the baking furnace, (2) Filling the furnace with granular coke, (3) Suctioning the filler material out of the furnace, and (4) Discharging the baked anode blocks for transport.
Q: How does the crane ensure precise and safe handling?
A: It uses a full PLC intelligent control system with variable frequency speed regulation for all major movements. This is enhanced by features like electric anti-sway, inching movement for accuracy, and zero-speed hover to prevent load slippage, ensuring both precision and safety.
Q: What is the benefit of the integrated dust handling system?
A: The dust handling system is designed for high-efficiency suction and discharge while maintaining an extremely low dust emission concentration (≤10mg/N m³). This protects the environment, improves workplace safety, and minimizes material loss.
Q: Can this crane be used for other tasks besides anode handling?
A: Yes. It is equipped with auxiliary suction pipes for cleaning flues and a 10t electric hoist mounted on the bridge, which can be used for various maintenance tasks, such as handling burners.
Q: Can this crane be integrated into a smart factory system?
A: Yes, Weiyuan offers an optional wireless module that can be added to the crane. This allows it to connect to our Crane Industrial Internet Platform, enabling full life cycle management, remote monitoring, and seamless integration with smart factory systems.
