Kalmar to refurbish and modernise an overhead crane for Aperam steel mill in Belgium
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 2 JUNE 2015 AT 10 AM (EEST)
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has started the upgrade and refurbishment of the
overhead crane at the steel mill of the Aperam Stainless steel plant in Genk,
Belgium. The scope includes design, construction, delivery and erection of all
the materials for the project, according to the standards and regulations for
hoisting liquid steel. The project, which started in November 2014 with design
engineering, was booked in Kalmar's fourth quarter 2014 order intake, and is set
to be completed in the third quarter of 2015.
Aperam, who currently process over 2.5 million tonnes of flat stainless steel in
Europe and Brazil, and have operations in more than 40 countries, selected
Kalmar to modernise their 40 year old Paul Würth casting crane, with the
capacity of 210 tonnes, at their Genk site in Belgium. The project involves
renewing the existing trolley and the lateral driving mechanism of the overhead
crane, including new electrical installation, and will be a complete turnkey
solution.
Danny Bielen, Project Manager of Aperam, "The trolley and the electrical system
of the crane had reached the end of their technical lifetime. We were looking
for a partner who could provide a detailed specification, and the ability to
demonstrate a strong technical solution. Additionally, Kalmar's excellent
project management skills were another important selection criterion."
"We are very happy to work with Aperam on a project like this", says Jelle van
der Waal, Director, Crane Upgrades at Kalmar EMEA North. "We specialise in
turnkey crane upgrade projects and have a proven track record working with
different customer segments. Our competence is based on highly professional in-
house engineering and project management. When the project is completed, Aperam
will be able to enjoy the extended lifetime of the crane for many years to
come."
