Multi-purpose crane for electrolytic copper

The electrolytic copper production environment is harsh, characterized by high humidity, corrosive gases, and metallic dust. Weihua’s multi-purpose crane for electrolytic copper is designed specifically for these special working conditions. Its main function is to safely, precisely, and efficiently complete the streamlined production operations of electrolytic copper, replacing manual labor and standard cranes.

The specific work process is as follows: It picks up the arranged cathode and anode plates from the row-spacing unit and transports them to empty electrolytic cells for installation (cell loading). After electrolysis is complete, it removes the cathode plates and transports them to the washing unit. Finally, it removes the depleted anode scrap and sends it to the washing unit. The entire process requires the crane to operate smoothly with precise positioning to avoid collision damage to the plates and ensure continuous production.

Advantages & Features

Structural Composition

The multi-purpose crane for electrolytic copper is a specialized and intelligent product that deeply integrates process and equipment. It solves material handling challenges in electrolytic copper production through high-precision positioning, dedicated spreaders, and a stable and reliable control system. Its main components are as follows:

• Bridge Structure: Box girder design, offering high strength and torsional resistance; the surface is treated with special anti-corrosion coating to adapt to the corrosive environment of the electrolytic workshop.
• Travel Mechanism: Dual-rail independent drive system for smooth operation; frequency-controlled speed regulation for precise positioning (±5 mm); equipped with multiple buffers and end limit protection devices.
• Hoist Trolley: Dual-winch mechanism design, independent control for cathode/anode lifting, equipped with load sensors and an anti-sway system, insulated to prevent current interference.
• Specialized Spreader System: The anode spreader features multi-point clamping and anti-deformation design; the cathode spreader uses flexible contact to protect the copper sheets; quick-change mechanisms adapt to different plate specifications.
• Intelligent Control System: PLC + touch screen HMI, with automatic alignment and process storage functions; real-time monitoring of the operational status of each mechanism, and data recording for production traceability.
