Five questions to ask when selecting cranes for waste-to-energy facilities
Overhead cranes play a crucial role in the processes of a modern waste to energy (WtE) facility. Cranes must meet continuous demands of safety, uptime, reliability and performance required for waste processing, from the arrival of waste to the stacking, mixing and feeding of the hoppers.
Waste to energy facilities offer one of the harshest and most punishing environments for overhead cranes: intense productivity thresholds, continuous operation, filth and high temperatures. If the cranes are not up to the challenge, the entire process is at risk, and the lights may go out. Several factors should be considered when choosing lifting equipment for your facility.
