The Wet-End Crane is a specialized handling solution designed for the wet-end section of the paper production line. It is primarily used for equipment maintenance, spare parts hoisting, and roller replacement and servicing in the forming and press sections. Engineered for environments with high humidity, heavy moisture vapor, and corrosion risks, this crane ensures smooth operation, precise positioning, and reliable safety, guaranteeing continuous and stable paper machine production.
Main Components:
Bridge Girder, Cross-travel Mechanism, Trolley, Hoisting Mechanism, Operator Cabin/overhead crane remote control systems, Electrical Control System, and Safety Devices.
Case of Wet End Crane
Project Name:
Complete Wet-End Crane Equipment Project for a Large-Scale Fine Paper Machine Production Line
Project Description:
The project involved the supply of specialized wet-end cranes for a 300,000-ton-per-year high-grade fine paper mill. The cranes were equipped with roller replacement-specific lifting attachments and positioning control systems, enabling efficient maintenance, repair, and servicing of the press section and forming section of the paper machine.
Key Features of wet end paper crane
Strong Adaptability to High-Humidity Environments
The entire crane waterproof features anti-corrosion coating, sealed bearings, and waterproof electrical designs, ensuring long-term stable operation in the wet-end's high-humidity, heavy moisture, and mildly corrosive conditions while minimizing rust and failure risks.
Precise Positioning and Smooth Operation
Equipped with variable frequency drive and inching control, the hoisting and traversing mechanisms operate smoothly without impact. This enables high-precision alignment and installation of critical components such as rollers and forming fabrics, meeting the stringent assembly requirements of core paper machine equipment.
High Safety Redundancy and Comprehensive Protection
The system is configured with load limiting, travel limit switches, anti-collision protection, emergency stop, and synchronization monitoring functions. It supports dual-brake redundancy to eliminate safety hazards such as load slipping under heavy loads, over-hoisting, and over-travel.
European-Style Crane with Lightweight Design
The crane features a lightweight structural design with low deadweight and low wheel load, effectively reducing building loads. Its compact structure, minimal headroom requirements, and high effective lifting height can significantly lower overall construction costs for the plant steel structure, rail foundations, and civil works. This maximizes space utilization and delivers outstanding comprehensive economic benefits.
