Client
Recently, we successfully supplied and exported 5 sets of double speed 5 ton electric
wire rope hoists to a gold refining plant in Kenya. The client is a well-established gold refining company based in Kenya, specializing in extracting and processing precious metals. As a key player in the East African mining industry, the company has a reputation for maintaining high operational standards and utilizing advanced technology to enhance productivity. Their commitment to safety and efficiency has driven them to seek reliable lifting solutions to support their daily operations.
First Cooperation
This project is the second time the client has partnered with DQCRANES. Our initial cooperation involved the supply of a JM slow-speed 10 ton
Electric Winch, which was used for heavy-duty material handling tasks at their plant. The JM winch exceeded their expectations in terms of performance and durability, laying the foundation for a strong and trusted relationship.
Second Cooperation
Recognizing our expertise and service in manufacturing high-quality lifting equipment, the client once again turned to DQCRANES for their new project. For their gold refining plant, the client required a wire rope hoist that could handle the transportation of materials with precision and efficiency. Their specific requirements included:
- Capacity: 5 tons per hoist
- Lifting Height: 6 meters
- Speed: Double speed for both lifting and lowering operations
- Durability: Equipment capable of withstanding the demanding environment of a gold refining plant
- Safety: Advanced safety features to ensure smooth and secure operations
- Quantity: A total of 5 hoists
After receiving their inquiry, our sales engineer promptly engaged with them to understand their specific needs and operational challenges. Through detailed discussions and technical consultations, we proposed the use of double speed wire rope hoists as the ideal solution for their gold refining plant.
Lifting capacity 5 tons, lifting height 6m, lifting speed 8/0.8m/min, trolley traveling speed 20m/min. The dual speed electric hoists are known for their precision, efficiency, and durability, to ensure handling frequent material lifting tasks while maintaining optimal performance under challenging conditions.
Design Features
Load Capacity and Dual Speed Functionality
- The primary requirement for this electric wire rope hoist is its ability to handle loads up to 5 tons safely and reliably. The inclusion of a double-speed mechanism enhances operational flexibility. The high-speed mode is perfect for general material handling, while the low-speed mode provides precision control, ideal for delicate operations often required in gold refining processes.
Wire Rope Design and Durability
- The wire rope is a critical component of the hoist. For this application, the 5 ton hoist is equipped with a high-strength, galvanized steel wire rope that resists wear and corrosion—essential for the humid and potentially corrosive environment of a gold refining plant. The rope drum is grooved to ensure proper winding and minimize wear over time.
Compact and Robust Construction
- The hoist's compact design makes it suitable for confined spaces, often found in industrial plants. Its robust steel frame ensures durability and stability during heavy-duty operations. The hoist is also designed to minimize vibration and noise, contributing to a safer and more comfortable working environment.
Advanced Safety Features
- Overload Protection: Prevents operation if the load exceeds the rated capacity.
- Emergency Stop System: Allows operators to halt the hoist immediately in case of an emergency.
- Limit Switches: Prevents over-travel of the hook, ensuring safe operation at all times.
- Electromagnetic Brake: Provides reliable load holding even during power failures.
Motor and Electrical System
- The electric hoist for sale is powered by an energy-efficient motor designed to withstand continuous operation in demanding conditions. It features a dual-speed control system for seamless transitions between high and low speeds. The electrical components are housed in a weatherproof enclosure to ensure protection against dust and moisture, which are common in industrial environments.
Customization for Local Needs
- Given its deployment in Kenya, the wire rope electric hoist is designed to operate in tropical climates with high temperatures and humidity levels. Additionally, it complies with local safety standards and regulations, ensuring seamless integration into the plant's operations.
Wire Rope Hoist Applications in Kenya
- Mining and Refining: For lifting heavy materials and equipment in mining operations and processing plants.
- Construction: To handle building materials and machinery efficiently.
- Manufacturing: For precise material handling in production facilities.
- Warehousing: To organize and transport goods within storage facilities.
