Two new TAIM WESER overhead cranes for ArcelorMittal Creusot
The two 600-ton and 175-ton overhead cranes that TAIM WESER supplied as part of the enlargement of the ArcelorMittal steelworks in Le Creusot (France) are operating. The cranes are unusual due to their tonnage and their design, which is adapted to space requirements and work conditions in the steelworks.
TAIM WESER was chosen just over a year ago to supply, assemble and start up two large-tonnage overhead cranes for the Industeel steelworks, an ArcelorMittal subsidiary, in Le Creusot (Burgundy-France). The project consisted of two unusual cranes due to their size and features. They were supplied in a record time of 13 months. Final start-up took place just before 1 February, when the new enlarged steelworks were opened. This plant will produce special steel ingots to meet the needs of Creusot Forge, an Areva subsidiary, which specialises in forging large components for the nuclear industry and is one of TAIM WESER's long-standing clients.
TAIM WESER's supply consists of an overhead crane with a 600/150 ton capacity and 19.4 m span between rails. This crane will be used for the mould release and maintenance of forged ingots weighing between 50 and 500 tons. The crane has two separate trolleys running along three main girders.
An overhead casting crane with a 175/50/20 ton capacity, 19.4 m span was also supplied. The crane's design is unusual due to space limits in the facilities in question. TAIM WESER's solution consisted of a crane in which the main trolley runs along the top of the main crane girders, while the auxiliary trolley runs along the bottom of these main crane girders. It also has a third girder with a 20-ton lifting capacity hoist to perform maintenance work in the steelworks.
Both cranes are highly sophisticated. They are designed to work at a high level of precision with large-tonnage loads in a heavy duty aggressive environment, and they are supplied with the necessary protection and control equipment for the work area and procedures. Safety features include redundant mechanisms and their corresponding electrical equipment.
Strategic agreement between two major companies
These enlarged facilities are the result of a strategic agreement between ArcelorMittal and Areva, which was signed in 2008 in Le Creusot to increase the output capacity of Industeel, an ArcelorMittal subsidiary, to be able to supply steel bars to Creusot Forge, an Areva subsidiary, which manufactures cast parts for the nuclear industry. With a €70 million investment, the new production facilities in the steelworks measure 3,500 m2 and 120 m long and have the necessary equipment to increase the plant's output from 30,000 to 50,000 tons of 250-ton steel bars.
