Geared motors overcome hydraulic liabilities
The combination of Siemens controls and Flender geared motors has boosted reliability and productivity for Corus in Clydebridge.
The hoists were designed by Flender drive system specialist Jacksons Power Transmission.
A tremendous lift weight was required of the system; 75,000Nm delivered torque, with a gearbox ratio of 250:1 for the main gear unit.
The hoists will be used in conjunction with other equipment for the secondary treatment of ladles of specialised molten steel.
The whole plant is designed to operate at a wide range of ambient temperatures of between -20C and +50C.
The project was shipped to Finland during December 2007 via SMS Mevac UK, a specialist in secondary metallurgy.
It comprises two identical crane hoists, the second of which is now being assembled.
Pete Jackson of Jacksons Power said: "Flender were able to offer special double-input geared units to meet the design criteria within the very tight delivery period that we and our customer required".
