GRÚA PUENTE PARA LA NUEVA FACTORÍA DE INYECCIÓN DE ALUMINIO DE RENAULT

Inaugurada la planta de inyección de aluminio, ubicada en el parque proveedores de Valladolid, que impulsa el sector del automóvil.

La nave tiene una forma rectangular de 75 metros de ancho y 136 de largo, y cuenta con tres pasillos de 25 metros cada uno.

Thierry Bollorè, anunció que en 2019 la actual planta de Renault, ya en funcionamiento, contará con una segunda nave de inyección de aluminio. Esta nueva factoría, duplicará la capacidad de producción y de empleo, con 200 nuevos trabajadores.

La nueva planta, contará, al igual que esta primera, con cuatro planchas de inyección de aluminio para la fabricación del cárter de cilindros destinado a su uso en motores de gasolina. Con ello se duplicará la capacidad de la factoría de Renault para este proceso, que es el componente esencial de los motores que se fabrican en la ciudad.

GH Cranes ha sido el encargado de fabricar la grúa de 35/35 Tn y 23,78 m de luz, que se ha instalado en la nave. Esta grúa será utilizada para el cambio de moldes.

La grúa ha sido vendida desde GH CASYLE, e instalada por parte de HOMANSER.

Safety First

Automation, collision avoidance and scale systems are a few add on items that increase equipment operation safety.

Manufacturers of cranes for the metals distribution sector are designing their technologies to provide greater levels of safety for operators, and offering improved data analysis.

Cranes and handling systems used in the metals distribution category have to be able to withstand the rigours of lifting extremely heavy materials, as well as the ebbs and flows of production which result in intense, peak periods of demand.

As a result, suppliers are increasingly offering equipment with enhanced safety features, plus the addition of monitoring tools that ensure operators can keep track of the safe working period (SWP) of their machines.

Customers are becoming more aware of the need to monitor how much of the design life or SWP of a crane has been used up, and how much remains.

IMPROVING RELIABILITY

Dovetailing with operator safety, reliability is also seen as a crucial demand from the metals distribution sector.

“Technology has to be designed for the peak use period during the day, which may often be three to four hours of intense production. Averages don’t really work in this sector!”

Juan Agirre, Special Solutions Business Unit Sales Director at GH Cranes and Components, notes that customers are increasingly looking for reliability, as well as robustness, high speeds, sway control, plus accurate load positioning and identification.

Projects GH been involved with in recent months include for steel manufacturer Acerinox, which was supplied with five cranes and a motorised hook to handle stainless steel coils with tong.

In addition, the company sold one automatic crane for handling steel sheets with an electromagnet to a steel service centre in northern Spain, as well as ten cranes for handling steel coils for the automotive industry for Gonvvama in China.

WIN-WIN TOP CUSTOMERS PROGRAM AND REGIONAL SEMINAR IN BANGKOK

Seminar in Thailand to present the technological innovations that GH Cranes incorporates into its equipment.

On 20 and 21 July GH organised a double meeting with top-level Thai customers to present the latest developments and technological innovations incorporated into our equipment. The meeting also served to give a broad overview of GH capabilities in the country and to introduce our integrated team in the joint venture we have with Peera Lohakarnlyon: LGH.

In another of the sessions, all the distributors from Southeast Asia, South Korea, New Zealand and Australia met together so that they could be provided with the same information that was given to the customers and with the aim of improving interaction by listening to their ideas and suggested areas for improvement.

The two seminars were held at the LGH premises in Chonburi and both customers and distributors could see first-hand the improvements to our new GHE17 hoist, the regenerative hoist and other technological developments that GH has incorporated into its products.

To round off, both groups were offered a tour of the production facilities where they were able to inspect the crane manufacturing process, as well as the quality standards and reliability requirements for our cranes.

The two events served to confirm the commitment of GH to this geographical area of the world and to acknowledge the presence of a great team of people willing to give the best possible service based on their proximity to customers.

It is only a small step in terms of the presence of GH in Southeast Asia, but a great leap for the stimulation of our activity in the area, which we are confident will bring its rewards.
