In the transport of non-ferrous metals, we have achieved space saving, high lifting height, high speed, and multi-point stopping.
Zip Chain Lifter
overview
In a non-ferrous metal copper electrolytic refining line, a post-type Zip Chain lifter was adopted for the process of stacking and transporting formed copper plates.
By fitting within the available installation space while meeting the necessary lifting conditions of high lift height, high speed, and multi-point stopping, this system contributed to space saving and improved productivity in copper plate conveying equipment for copper electrolytic refining lines.
Problem
In the process of stacking and transporting copper plates formed in the copper electrolytic refining line, there are limitations on the space available for installing equipment. Existing table lifters were not suitable for the equipment layout and required tabletop size, so we were struggling to select a lifter.
On the other hand, end users were also demanding increased productivity, so they needed lifting equipment that could be installed in a limited space, while ensuring sufficient payload capacity, and capable of handling high lifting heights, high-speed operation, and multi-point stopping.
Adopted products
Zip Chain Lifter
This is a revolutionary lifter that achieves unprecedented high-speed lifting.
Zip Chain Lifter is a table-type lifter that uses Zip Chain to directly lift up the tabletop.
Compared to hydraulic systems, it can move up and down 3 to 10 times faster. It is also suitable for high-frequency operation and can achieve energy savings of up to 50%.
Benefits of adopting the product
We found Zip Chain Lifter using the keyword "High-speed lifter," and since there were examples of post-type lifter installations, we decided to consider adopting it.
The post-type Zip Chain lifter features a slim, cantilevered structure with a rigid frame and built-in guides, enabling it to meet desired operating conditions such as high lifting height, high speed, and multi-point stopping while fitting into installation spaces that were difficult to accommodate with existing table lifters.
This contributed to both space-saving in equipment and improved productivity.
