Waste-to-Energy cranes

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document serves as a comprehensive guide on waste treatment plant cranes (WTC) and Electric Overhead Traveling (EOT) cranes, detailing their operational mechanisms, advantages, specifications, and recommendations for installation and maintenance.
Types of Cranes:
  • Electro-Hydraulic Cranes: Utilize an electric motor, pump, and hydraulic valves. They offer higher control, reduced weight, and cost-effectiveness but require maintenance for sensitive components.
  • Mechanical Cranes: Operate with four ropes and a special lifting system. They provide higher speeds and less maintenance but need frequent rope replacements.
Operational Procedures:
  • Seizing the load involves positioning the grab and pulling the closing rope.
  • Lifting and lowering require simultaneous winding of ropes.
  • Opening the grab involves fixing the holding rope and releasing the closing rope.
Performance and Maintenance:
  • Electro-hydraulic grabs offer better filling rates but are sensitive to waste fires.
  • Mechanical grabs require frequent rope replacements and are affected by inclined operations.
Installation and Wiring Systems:
  • Electric cabinets can be installed in a conditioned room or on the crane, each with cost implications.
  • Wiring systems include fixed and mobile installations with communication options via Profibus or Wifi.
Project Examples: Various projects demonstrate the adaptability and application of these cranes in different locations.
Specifications: EOT cranes communicate via Ethernet or Profinet and are controlled through PLCs. They feature redundant anti-collision systems and cabin area limitations.
Operational Recommendations: Backup cranes are recommended to prevent downtime. Cranes are designed for high cycles and significant loads, with F.E.M. classifications generally at M8.
Design Considerations: Reinforced crabs and adjusted accelerations are necessary for handling high mass and volume. Standard rope guides are not recommended due to uneven surfaces.
Future Planning: Consider future operations when selecting crane components to ensure scalability and ROI.
Standard and Optional Elements: Lists standard and optional components, including electrical cabinet conditioning and redundant anti-collision devices.
Global Presence: GH Cranes & Components operates worldwide with subsidiaries in multiple countries.

Waste-to-Energy cranes-2

Type of cranes according to the seizing element operation mode Electro hydraulically driven cranes The orange peel grab or the grab are driven by an electro - hydraulic unit, consisting on an electric motor, a pump and hydraulic valves, which supply oil under pressure through duly protected hoses, to the cylinders operating the teeth or shells. All this units are integrated on the orange peel grab or grab body. The orange peel grab or grab’s electric supply is carried out through a spring reel or motorized cable reel, depending on the lifting/lowering travel and speeds. Nowadays, most of the...

Working cycle definition Starting basic data Capacity of installation (t/h) Orange peel grab / grab volume (m3) Material density (t/m3) Useful working time per hour (minutes) = (60’ - waste homogenizing time in the pit.) Number of manoeuvres per hour (cycles/hour) Time AVAILABLE per cycle (seconds/cycle) Average travel and traverse ranges Average of lifting and lowering (m) = H1 + H2 + 2/3 x pit H H1 = Height between the pit’s upper part and the hopper’s upper part. H2 = distance between the closed and lifted orange peel grab and the hopper upper part. It is advisable that H2 >= 1 m. Pit H =...
