Danieli Centro Cranes will provide two EOT charging cranes with lifting capacity of 310(430)/100/25 short tons to North Star BlueScope Steel, Delta (OH), USA, where Danieli is supplying a meltshop project featuring EAF and LF furnaces and fume treatment plant.
The custom-designed cranes will satisfy the local CMAA Specification 70 standards, and foresees a 16-wheel bridge with end truck equalizing configuration. The arrangement of bridge drives is an A4-type with “open” kinematic scheme (motor-gearbox-external brake-wheel).
The two charging cranes will be manufactured at the Danieli workshop in Thailand, where they will be fully assembled and functionally tested in all their movements with trolley operating on the bridge.
Both cranes will be equipped will a regenerative system that recovers the braking energy of all the movements.
The first crane will be fully commissioned by July 2020 in line with the plant erection schedule, and the second crane will be started up by the end October 2020, as per contract.
