Ingot & Slab Handling Crane

Description

MELTECH Ingot and Slab Handling Cranes are heavy-duty industrial cranes specifically designed to transport large and heavy semi-finished metal products such as ingots, blooms, and slabs. These cranes are vital components in steel mills, foundries, aluminium plants, and rolling mills, where they support continuous production by efficiently moving high-temperature and high-mass products between stages of the metallurgical process.

Motorized tongs or electromagnets for slabs, lifting beams, or C-hooks for ingots are commonly used attachments. These are engineered to accommodate specific sizes, shapes, and temperatures of the loads for secure and efficient handling.

Applications

• Steel Plants: Moving steel slabs from continuous casters to hot rolling mills.
• Aluminium Plants: Transporting aluminium ingots to storage or extrusion lines.
• Rolling Mills: Feeding slabs into reheating furnaces or hot mill stands.
• Storage Yards: Stacking and organizing ingots and slabs for shipment or further processing.

Meltech Ingot and Slab Handling Cranes are crucial to modern metal production and processing facilities. Their ability to safely and efficiently transport heavy, hot, and bulky materials supports smooth production flow, minimizes downtime, and ensures high-quality output. As facilities move toward more automated and high-capacity operations, these cranes are evolving with smart control systems, remote operation, and condition monitoring to meet the future of industrial lifting.
