A sludge handling crane moves the semi-fluid sludge from storage bunkers to a storage area, and onwards to a process line. Composed of semi-solids left over from energy production and industrial wastewater, sludge is typically sticky with a high viscosity, and dangerous to both humans and the environment.
Konecranes sludge handling cranes are designed to operate with maximum safety and minimal downtime in the harsh operating environment of a sludge handling station. Versatile, reliable and fully automated, it is a compact and durable piece of machinery with a lifting capacity of 4 to 17 tons with typical spans from 10 to 16 meters.
"The new cranes enhance safety in ways that are important for the process."
Francisco Jose Rosa, Operation manager, Tersa
