How do overhead cranes and gantry cranes help cement plants solve handling problems

 Cement is closely related to the development of cities and the level of national construction. How to increase the output of cement and the efficiency of workers is a matter of great concern for cement plants. We have contacted many people in charge of cement plants from all over the world, and they often have little understanding of how to match cranes to better help cement plants improve their efficiency. Today we will explain to you how overhead cranes and gantry cranes help cement plants solve problems with a case of a cement plant in Pakistan.

Pakistani Cement Plant Needs Customized Cranes to Solve Handling Problem

This Pakistan cement plant is an old cement plant. With the increase in demand, the current production level can no longer meet the demand of the order. Now it is necessary to customize a complete set of material handling solutions. After communicating with customers, we learned that the current problems facing customers mainly include the following two points:

1. Overhead crane requirement.

During the cement production, several big and heavy production equipment are needed and therefore it’s a tough task to transport and arrange these heavy facilities into the workshop. How to do the work efficiently and easily? The overhead crane provided by DQCRANES can be your giant servant, who can easily lift, move and help to install them with a little effort by pushing the buttons.

Besides, the grab is need to lift and transport the small and irregular stones into their facilities for cement production. Therefore, the grab overhead crane will be the optimal solution to their lifting problems.

2. Gantry crane requirement

After cement are produced, they will be loaded in trucks and delivered all around the world. However, before delivering, the cement is placed in a store, which is without walls for the sake of space saving. Here comes the question: how to load the cement to the truck easily and efficiently? DQCRANES gives its answers. The gantry crane will be the best answer because the gantry crane is designed for solving indoor and outdoor material handling problems, which are favored by the conditions here for there is no support beams in this store, and the cantilever of the gantry crane is necessary too for loading, which can transport the cement to the trucks as close as possible.
