Ease of Material Handling for Production Activities

by

Rehash MorkalMaterial handling is a part and parcel of any kind and scale of production activities. In India, machine and tools are manufactured that stand at par with those imported from the most technologically advanced countries. Therefore, Indian manufactures are now in a position to export a wide range of material handling equipments, EOT cranes and industrial machinery. Depending upon the quantum and nature of the materials to be handled, you have a wide range of choices such as industrial cranes, double girder crane, automated cranes, and double girder overhead traveling cranes. Besides, you can have the spares and components, along with after-sales service.The ISO certified company in India, having technical collaboration with DEMAG, Germany can supply cranes that cater to the specific industrial need for handling of materials. The cranes include furnace crane, billet lifting crane, ladle cranes, Goliath crane, Teeming crane, Turbine Hall crane, Rotating Hook crane, Slab Tong cranes, Charging crane, Grab crane, Low Headroom EOT crane, Double Girder Goliath crane, Rotating Trolley crane, Under hung crane, Hot crane, Launching Beams, Explosion protected crane, Rotating Hoist, Electric Hoist, High Speed Winch, Double Drum Hoist, Electric Winch, Low Headroom Hoist, Double drum winch, Flame Proof Hoist and conical Motor Hoist.If you are engaged in fabrication and machining activities, your material handling requirement can be met with the export quality C-Hook for lifting of coils, bulk grabs magnets for lifting of scraps, lifting tongs, and electromagnets for lifting. These material handling equipments come in diverse size, capacity, configuration and technical specifications. While purchasing such equipments, insist upon strength, safety and durability and compliance to the standard of quality prescribed by ASME. The bloom tong handles the billets safely and is either mechanically or hydraulically operated. Provided with high temperature self-lubricating bushes, maintenance is minimized and durability is prolonged.Whenever you get material handling equipments, it is essential that you have with you the vital spare parts so as to avoid any unforeseen eventuality of break down or stoppage of work. Depending upon the specification of the equipment, you can choose your spares from any of the following; namely crane wheels, rope drum, brake drum, high speed coupling, gear coupling, cable reeling drum, planetary gear box, helical gearbox and carbon shafts. You can also get crane wheels to your exact specification by machining it out from high quality alloy steels. The grooves of the rope drums are susceptible to wear and tear; therefore, heat treatment of the rope reduces the risk of abrupt stoppage of work.While any category of crane, you need to pay specific attention to certain vital components. The motors should have sturdy cylindrical, conical rotor, integrated with safety brakes and protection of insulation. Gears should have light alloy housing with hardened casing. Provision of single or dual disc electromagnetic DC brakes puts automatic brake on power failure. The electric panel should cover a wide operating range for easy installation and maintenance. Before selecting your equipment, you should have prior consultation with reputed manufacturers and should obtain solution to your specific material handling problems.
