Tire Manufacturing Plant - Rubber Roll Handling Crane System
Automotive - Tire Manufacturing - Saraburi Province, Thailand
Challenge
A major tire manufacturer needed cranes for handling raw rubber rolls and finished products in the mixing and curing areas. The environment was extremely hot from the vulcanization process with rubber dust dispersal.
Solution
D2 Cranes installed single girder cranes with dust-protected wire rope hoists and heat-resistant components. All drive units were rated IP65 to prevent rubber dust ingress.
Scope of Work
- 6 single girder cranes (5-15 ton capacity)
- Wire rope hoists with dust protection covers
- Heat-resistant components for vulcanization area
- IP65 rated dust-proof drive systems
- Runway beam and support structure installation
Result
The crane system operated continuously in the high-heat, dusty environment without issues. Rubber roll handling time was reduced by 35% compared to forklift operations.
