Custom Ingot Tongs – Tailored Solutions for Safe and Efficient Metal Ingot Lifting

Ingot tongs are specialized lifting tools used to handle large and have a simple, rectangular shape with heavy ingots of metals such as steel, aluminum, copper, etc. They are commonly used in ingot smelting plants and foundries for the loading and unloading of ingots from furnaces and other equipment. They are designed to withstand the high temperatures and harsh environments associated with ingot production.

Kuangshan Crane offers a range of customized ingot lifters that are available to handle ingots of various materials, shapes, and sizes to suit the specific needs of our customers. Using ingot tongs for handling ingots is a safer and more efficient method. The crane tongs feature sturdy construction and are designed to withstand heavy-duty usage in industrial environments. It helps to reduce the risk of damage or injury during the lifting and transportation of heavy metal ingots.

Automatic ingot tongs

Features and Advantages:

• Robust Structure: Steel ingot tongs are typically made from high-quality alloy steel and special alloys, providing a strong structure that can handle the weight of large steel ingots.
• High Reliability: They offer reliable clamping capabilities, preventing the ingots from shifting or falling during transportation and lifting, ensuring operational safety.
• Flexible and Practical: The crane lifting tongs feature adjustable sizes, making them suitable for various specifications of steel ingots and allowing for adjustments based on specific needs.
• Ease of Operation: With a simple structure, they are easy to operate, enhancing the efficiency of lifting operations.
• Safety: The scissor lifting tongs are inspected for cracks, wear, and deformation, with unfit items either repaired or discarded, ensuring safety during operation.

Vertical ingot tongs

These vertical ingot tongs use an automatic opening and closing mechanism with a simple and reasonable structure, providing flexible operation and safe, reliable lifting. No external power source is required. It locks by its own weight, with a positioning device for opening and closing, allowing the jaws to open and close automatically.

Technical Parameters

Silicon ingot clamp

A silicon ingot tong is a specialized lifting device designed for handling silicon crystal ingots. It is user-friendly and safe, protecting the silicon crystals without damaging the lifted material. Our company has specifically designed these clamps for the silicon crystal industry and they are widely used in new energy, silicon crystal, and solar cell industries. Currently, we offer G5, G6, G7, and G8 silicon ingot clamps, and we can also develop custom clamps based on specific customer requirements.

Асаблівасці

• The silicon ingot tong uses a multi-node special connection design, with a bottom positioning plate that effectively protects the ingot from impact damage.
• It provides stable and powerful clamping with minimal shaking, ensuring ease of use and safety. It effectively reduces the stress expansion into the ingot during lifting due to gravitational forces.
• The scissor lifting clamp is simple to operate, stable in use, and has a wide range of applications.

Technical Parameters

Steel ingot rotating tongs

A steel ingot rotating tong is a lifting device designed for both lifting and rotating steel ingots. It is mainly used in industries such as steel manufacturing, transportation, and shipping.

The structure of the steel ingot rotating tong consists of three main parts: the electrical section, the mechanical section, and the main body. The mechanical section is further divided into the rotating mechanism and the clamping mechanism.

Insert the outer legs of the tong into the center hole of the rolled plate. Activate the clamping motor to securely grip the steel ingot. After lifting the rolled plate, start the rotating motor. The rotating mechanism will drive the tong’s legs and the rolled plate to rotate to the next position, automatically stopping at the new position. The tong rotation operation can be performed while the crane is in operation.

Maintenance of ingot tongs

• During use, if the rotation lock is not moving smoothly or is not in place, check and adjust the adjustment nut, and inspect the following parts: pulling spring of the pawl, transmission mechanism, and buffer spring stretch.
• Prevent paint on the indicator board from peeling off during use. If peeling is found, promptly reapply the original indicator paint.
• Regularly clean the steel wire ropes on the lifting equipment and apply lubricating oil or grease, especially at the bends of the wire ropes.
• For main load-bearing components, lifting rings, rotation locks, ear plates, and fittings shackles inspect them at least every 3 months under normal use conditions to ensure there are no cracks or severe deformation.
• All oil cups, including those on the ratchet mechanism, sliding bearing seats, and rotation lock boxes, should be lubricated with oil as needed based on usage.
• Regularly check if the rope clamps are loose and if the buffer springs are overstretched. Address any issues promptly.
• Do not exceed the rated lifting capacity of any lifting equipment, and avoid overstretching the buffer springs.
• During lifting operations, ensure smooth lifting to avoid deformation caused by collisions between the lifting equipment and the crane or other equipment.
