Coke pot crane

Structure and operating principle

Transfers a hot coke pot to the dry-quenching chamber and returns the empty pot to the transfer car.

A dedicated lifting arrangement transfers a coke pot between its transfer car and the dry-quenching charging position. The pot connection, lifting path and process interlocks are specific to the plant installation.

Application and selection

For the hot-coke transfer stages defined by the dry-quenching process. Heat, dust, falling coke and interfaces with the receiving chamber require a dedicated process risk assessment.

Working method

1. Before work, authorised personnel confirm the load and its centre of gravity, the permitted machine configuration, the route and receiving position. Complete the checks specified for the equipment, verify protective functions by the approved method and stop if a defect affects safe operation.

2. Confirm car positioning, pot engagement and receiving-chamber readiness before lifting. Follow the authorised lift, transfer, discharge and empty-pot return sequence, retaining positive confirmation of each process interface.

3. After the task, place the load on stable supports and leave the equipment in its prescribed safe state. Record faults and abnormal events. Maintenance or jam clearance requires secure isolation of relevant energy, including stored hydraulic, pneumatic and gravitational energy.

Precautions and maintenance

Do not substitute ordinary hook-lifting instructions for the coke process. Stop on a connection, brake, positioning or interlock fault and use the plant’s hot-process recovery plan; never enter the chamber interface to clear a fault while energy remains uncontrolled.

Inspection frequency, wear/discard criteria, lubrication, brake adjustment and replacement parts follow the supplied instructions and applicable local requirements. Only competent personnel may maintain the equipment; return to service follows the prescribed checks.

Configuration and standards

This is an equipment-selection and operating-principle overview, not a complete operator manual, lift plan or certificate. Verify rated load, duty, geometry, environment and protective functions against the nameplate, approved drawings and delivered instructions. Do not combine separate series maxima into one promised configuration.

Requirements follow the destination and installation, not the website language. China: determine the applicable GB/T references and statutory equipment obligations. EAEU destinations: check the applicable TR CU/EAEU regulations, amendments and conformity documents. English-speaking markets: select the relevant national rules; US OSHA and UK HSE references are not universal law. EU projects require their own applicable conformity assessment.
