Furnace Lifting Device
Back
Location: Albury, New South Wales
Client: CFE Projects & Maintenance
Scope: Design of device to safely lift bars out of the furnace
Design Considerations:
- FEA Strength and fatigue analysis under elevated temperatures for required service life
- Provisions for safe assembly, inspection and maintenance
Design Achievements: A safer solution was required at a local forge to remove molten 16-tonne steel bars from the furnace and lower them into the quenching bath. KUSCH enabled this by completing the structural design and fatigue analysis for a fit-for-purpose forklift jig, considering fatigue effects and service loading.
