 Plastic fabrication, like metal work, involves heavy weights and high temperatures. A strong and agile overhead crane system is required for safety and precision. Overhead cranes are necessary to handle melted ingredients, raw materials, and finished goods with care and dexterity.

Handling high temperature and large-capacity loads in dangerous and unpredictable environments is a requirement of the Plastic Injection/Die Handling Industry. Each stage of the plastic injection molding process necessitates precision and control to ensure the safety of the crane operators. Overhead handling cranes in this industry are subjected to extreme stress, necessitating the expertise of Yuantai Crane to ensure that the proper equipment is used and properly inspected. Special consideration must be given to hoist reeving, which typically necessitates the use of a double reeved wire rope to provide true vertical lift. Side pulling is common when rotating loads. To ensure that wire ropes are pulled perpendicular to the drum grooving, the drum configuration and rope fleet angle must be carefully considered.

Single girder & double girder overhead crane

Single girder overhead crane for light mold or die handling with capacity of 1 ton, 5 ton, 10 ton, and 7.5 ton, 10 ton  and up to 20 ton. Based on your different lifting requirements and application conditions.
The single girder die handling cranes also can be designed as top running & underhung design. The former one has the end carriages running on the top of main girder while the latter has the the end carriage running under the main girder. The top running design can support large capacity than the underhung crane design. But one the other hand, the ceiling mounted underhung crane will save the cost for supporting columns.

10 ton overhead crane for plastic injection mold industry Jordan

The plastic company is well-known in Jordan because it has a long history, dating back to 1970. They are providing plastic products for well-known brands such as Nestle, Pepsi, Henkel, Golden Mills, and others.

Requirement  for a 10-ton overhead crane for mold handling
Different molding methods, such as extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, and rotation molding, are used during plastic production depending on the product. So, in the molding process, the overhead crane is required for mold change. The Jordan client wants Yuantai Crane to provide electric overhead crane systems that are cost-effective, efficient, long-lasting, and safe for the four workshops. Yuantai Hoist and Crane was chosen as his overhead crane manufacturer after a comparison of various overhead crane quotations.

Economical single girder overhead crane for mold handling

All single girder overhead cranes can meet his lifting requirements and significantly reduce crane equipment purchasing costs.
Features of 10 molding handling overhead crane
The flat top crane girder, bucket design, and low crane price are three obvious features of the 10 ton single girder overhead crane for the Jordan client.

Main parameters of single girder overhead crane

  • Lifting capacity of overhead crane: 10 ton
  • Crane span of overhead crane : 7.5 meters
  • Crane duty of overhead crane: A4

1) The 10 ton overhead crane's flat top girder design

The flat top girder design of the 10 ton overhead cranes makes the most of the workshop overhead room while increasing the lifting height relatively, resolving the conflict between high lifting height requirements and limited overhead clear room.
The drawing of the LD Type Single Girder Electric Overhead Crane LD 10t-7.5 m A4 that fully satisfies the Jordan client is shown below.

2) Design of a custom overhead crane bucket
Because the concrete workshop lacks proper buckets for the 10 ton single girder overhead crane and for financial reasons, Yuantai's crane engineer designed the following overhead crane buckets, which solves the problem and lowers the client's cost.

3) Low-cost overhead crane price

Yuantai Hoist and Crane would like to save as much money as possible while ensuring overhead crane quality and safety. The best solution for clients is to provide high-quality material handling equipment at the most affordable price.
