Product Introduction

Billet Handling Cranes are meticulously designed and developed according to customized specifications. Cranes with larger capacities are adept at managing long-sized billets, which allows plant operators to enhance production levels. These billet lifting cranes feature a C-hook assembly to support billets, rods, pipes, and other elongated products. The hook assembly consists of a spreader beam that is suspended from the winch by a pair of cables. At M. Mohamed & Co., we are a prominent manufacturer of Billet Handling Cranes in Kolkata, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Assam. The Billet Handling Cranes come in various capacities and include standard attachments such as rectifiers/controllers, cabs equipped with video monitors, and variable frequency drives. These Billet Handling Cranes, which are fitted with revolving trolleys, minimize handling, waste, and energy consumption, thereby improving yields and reducing per-unit costs. The higher capacity cranes also offer an option for magnet service. By collaborating closely with the engineers of the customer, appropriate refurbishment can be performed to ensure compatibility with existing machinery.

Some more details about our product

A Billet Handling Cranes is an exceptionally maneuverable electric overhead crane designed to transport large pieces of hot, soft metal from the melt shop to their subsequent destination. Due to the hazardous nature of the melt shop, it is typically situated away from other manufacturing work sites. The Billet Handling Crane is responsible for feeding steel blooms and billets onto shaping rollers, moving the metal to be reheated in another furnace prior to shaping, transporting the shaped steel to another conveyor for further processing, or delivering it to a storage area.

Manufacturing Processes

A Billet Handling Crane is engineered to transfer heavy loads swiftly and safely from the melt shop to the rolling mill and then to storage. To tackle the challenges associated with handling either hot and soft metal or cooler pieces, the Billet Handling Crane incorporates several Smart Features, including Sway Control, Slack Rope Prevention, and Target Positioning, which empower operators to execute complex operations with ease. It can be tailored to meet your specifications, extending all the way to full automation.

Understanding the Types of Billet Handling Cranes

• Square Billets: These billets boast a square cross-section and are often employed in processes like hot rolling to produce various steel products, including bars, rods, and wire.
• Round Billets: With a circular cross-section, round billets are used to create products such as pipes, tubes, and round bars.
• Blooms: Blooms are larger, square, or rectangular billets typically used in heavy forging and rolling processes to produce larger structural components like I-beams, rails, and large-diameter pipes.
• Slabs: Slabs, on the other hand, have a wide width-to-height ratio and are used in hot rolling mills to produce steel sheets, coils, and plates.
• Ingots: Though less common, ingots play a role in traditional steelmaking processes. These irregularly shaped initial products can be further processed into billets or other forms.
• Continuous Casting Billets: In modern steel production, continuous casting is a common method. Continuous casting billets have a specific shape suitable for this process, featuring rounded or square cross-sections that are continuously cast into long lengths, which are then cut into shorter billet-sized pieces.
• Specialty Billets: Depending on the intended end use, steel producers may create specialty billets with specific dimensions and chemical compositions tailored for particular industries or applications, such as automotive, construction, or aerospace.
• Extrusion Billets: These billets are designed for extrusion processes, where steel is forced through a die to create products with a consistent cross-sectional shape, such as extruded profiles and shapes.

These extra heavy-duty cranes are used to store, transport the Billet Handling Cranes them to the rolling mills.

• As they are handling hot billets, the Billet Handling Cranes have to be designed to withstand the high rise in temperature when picking up the slabs.
• These cranes are designed to work at very high speeds without compromising on safety.
• Anti–sway devices can be provided for better control and positioning.
• These cranes are very critical in feeding a rolling mill.
• Special Drives, crane Controls and Automation features are used to provide exact accurate positioning of the crane.
• Special types of Heat Shields, Panel e-rooms / Cabins with air conditioners and other features are provided to withstand very high temperatures.
• Specially designed Rotating Trolley crane, for rotating and better positioning of billets, drastically reducing production time and storage space.
