Case Review:
In Germany, rock salt and potash salt are extracted from salt mines. High-quality salts are important for the everyday life throughout Europe and are used in many areas.
Electric chain hoists for easy load handling under extreme conditions. For the assembly work in the salt mine, the electric hoists are equipped with a load capacity of 5 tons and a lifting height of 30 meters. Installed to a straight and a curved crane track, they ensure smooth lifting and precise placement of the load downwards the passage to the new salt bunker, with virtually no load swing!
The robust electric chain hoist is a powerful and precise hoist for extreme operating conditions. The new salt bunker was installed below an existing mine. Heavy components and equipment had to be lowered safely from the starting point. We recommended the electric chain hoists for the application because it covers the required power supply of 415 volts as well as guarantees safe and efficient work in the long term.
- All electric chain hoists from DQCRANES are designed for permanent use. Underground temperatures of 35 degrees or more, salty air and low humidity don’t mind the tools.
- The chain hoists remain corrosion-resistant due to their aluminium housing (die-cast) and the powder coating.
- All internal components (including the electromagnetic brake, gearbox, frequency inverter and friction clutch) are not affected by the harsh conditions as well.
- Finally, the nickel-plated load chain – located safely in its steel container – guarantees a continuous material flow.
- The load chain withstands all external influences and is more resistant than conventional load chains.
