Liftlink Technologies Pvt Ltd manufactures material handling tools for a few of the world’s harshest, most demanding industries. Our specialty crane and hoist systems are often found in clean rooms, shipping facilities, aerospace operations, wastewater treatment facilities, and countless other high-performance applications.

We also offer cranes specially designed for metal processing and smelting, which involve high temperatures, heavy loads, and very corrosive environments. Built to face up to these harsh settings, our smelting cranes offer a variety of unique benefits, including anti-sway control, intelligent operating systems, and specially designed lifting devices.

Industrial Metal Processing and therefore the Smelting Process

The smelting process may be a crucial part of copper, nickel, lead, silver, and iron production; most of those ores begin with impurities present and must be processed before industrial use. The metal ore, once heated with chemical reducing agents, is split to separate waste elements from elemental metals, which are then refined and used.

The primary smelting process involves mining the first metal — like lead — then separating it from its ore and refining it to be used during a wide selection of products. Heat is combined with coke, charcoal, or other reducing agents for purification. additionally, to smelting, the ore also can undergo sintering to get rid of sulfur via hot air combustion. Additional refining is additionally possible for specific application needs.

The secondary smelting process recovers metals from used objects. as an example, secondary lead is often far away from used lead-acid batteries for reuse in other products. This process doesn’t involve additional sintering or purification but does utilize high heat and reducing agents in specialized furnaces.

Smelting Pot Lid Lifters and Feeders

Due to the varied load handling challenges and potential dangers involved in smelting operations, Liftlink Technologies has developed specialized smelter-specific equipment designed to make sure optimal safety and efficiency. Below are a couple of of our leading smelting solutions.

  • High-capacity smelting pot lid lifters are double-girder top-running overhead traveling cranes, specially equipped with a heavy-duty four-point lift. The lift is made with a rigid mechanical apparatus for precise performance and synchronized lift with none reliance on cables or drums. Rotary-induced horizontal motion is translated into vertical lift through a series of linkages and concentric cams. This machine allows for less than a couple of inches of lift travel, enabling lids to be easily raised and transferred to a short lived location.
  • Intelligent smelting feeding overhead cranes, used for lifting material feeding buckets, feature sophisticated automation capabilities to permit for high-precision performance. These cranes are especially popular for nickel-iron smelting feeding.
  • Anti-sway cranes for smelting feeding processes are wont to perform essential positioning tasks employing a fully automatic spreader. A full host of automatic capabilities — recognition, hooking, feeding, and bucket changing — leave optimal precision, and therefore the process is fully controlled, monitored, and operated by the machine’s own program.
