Giơi thiệu sản phẩm
Electrolytic Copper Overhead Crane is an intelligent lifting solution specifically designed for copper electrorefining processes. It is primarily used for the automated handling, positioning, and transfer of cathode plates (starter sheets) and anode plates (blister copper plates) within the electrolytic workshop, serving as a key process equipment in modern copper smelting production lines.
Unlike conventional overhead cranes, the Electrolytic Copper Overhead Crane is purpose-built to operate in the harsh electrolytic environment, characterized by high humidity, strong corrosive conditions, high electrical currents, and metal dust. The crane integrates high-precision positioning, intelligent control systems, and specialized lifting devices, enabling safe, efficient, and stable continuous operation.
Working Process of the Electrolytic Copper Overhead Crane
- Anode Plate Handling
Anode plates to be electrolyzed are lifted from the stacking area and accurately positioned into the electrolytic cells. - Electrolysis Process Coordination
The crane assists in adjusting the spacing between electrode plates during the electrolysis cycle, optimizing current distribution and ensuring stable refining performance. - Cathode Plate Removal
After completion of electrolysis, the deposited copper cathode plates are removed from the cells and transferred to the washing or stripping station. - Spent Anode Handling
Remaining spent anode plates are lifted and transported to the recycling area, completing the continuous electrolytic production cycle.
Core Features of the Electrolytic Copper Overhead Crane
- Intelligent Plate Arrangement System
Integrated guiding mechanisms and slicing & tapping devices ensure accurate insertion of starter sheets into the electrolytic cells. - Multi-Mode Lifting Operation
Supports independent or combined lifting of cathode and anode plates, increasing operational efficiency by up to 30%. - Dual-Stage Positioning System
Utilizes pre-positioning combined with laser precision positioning technology, achieving a repeatable positioning accuracy of ±2 mm. - Anti-Splash Design
A horizontal push-type receiving tray enables smooth opening and closing, reducing electrolyte splashing by up to 95%.
Structure of the Electrolytic Copper Overhead Crane
- Bridge Structure
Box-girder design with high structural strength and excellent torsional rigidity. The surface is treated with special anti-corrosion coatings to withstand the highly corrosive environment of electrolytic workshops. - Traveling Mechanism
Dual-rail independent drive system ensures smooth and stable travel. Variable frequency speed control enables precise positioning with an accuracy of ±5 mm, complemented by multi-stage buffering and end-limit protection devices. - Hoisting Trolley
Dual-winch configuration allows independent control of cathode and anode lifting. Equipped with load sensors and anti-sway systems. Electrical insulation treatment is applied to prevent interference from high operating currents. - Dedicated Lifting Device System
The anode lifting device adopts a multi-point clamping, anti-deformation design, while the cathode lifting device features flexible contact surfaces to protect copper foils. A quick-change mechanism accommodates different plate specifications. - Intelligent Control System
PLC-based control system with a touch-screen human–machine interface (HMI), featuring automatic alignment and process memory functions. Real-time monitoring of all operating mechanisms is provided, with data logging for full production traceability.
