The coke pit is the production heart of a petrochemical plant, a harsh environment full of moisture, corrosive fumes and abrasive dust. Work is fast and continuous, and downtime is crippling to production. Konecranes can provide lifting equipment and service that can meet these challenges safely and efficiently.
Our hazardous environment cranes and hoists are optimized for specific and often unique lifting requirements in explosive atmospheres. All explosion-proof crane components are selected to improve the high level of safety required for the hazardous atmospheres in chemical and petrochemical plants.
Petrochemical plants running coker operations are fertile ground for crane automation. While full automation is still on the horizon at most plants, the semi-automated coker cranes built by Konecranes come standard with a PLC, modern D2 inverter controls and signal cables– virtually everything needed to convert to full automation (or remote operation) in the future.
The efficiency of your operation depends on your operators to be able to pack full buckets quickly. Our cranes can be equipped with Smart Features to shorten load cycles and minimise spillage.
Konecranes uses leading technology and trained specialists to offer a variety of Consultation Services that take a deeper look at your crane and its components. Some of the Consultation Services we offer include Gear Case Inspections, RopeQ™ Magnetic Wire Rope Inspection, Crane Reliability Study, CraneQ™ Geometric Survey, RailQ™ Runway Survey and Operator Training.
