Walking beams
Walking Beams facilitate the precise and controlled movement of pipes through different coating process stages. Their robust design and smooth operation ensure safe and efficient transport while minimizing handling time and reducing the risk of damage.
Solution:
Walking Beams provide a reliable and efficient method for moving pipes in a coating plant. By ensuring consistent and controlled movement, they help maintain pipe integrity and proper alignment at each process step.
Key Features:
- Robust Construction: Built from high-strength materials, Walking Beams support heavy loads in pipe handling operations. This durability ensures long-term performance even under demanding conditions.
- Smooth Operation: Hydraulic cylinders enable seamless movement, preserving coating integrity and preventing pipe damage.
- Precision Control: Walking Beams offer accurate positioning, ensuring pipes are correctly aligned throughout the process.
- Customizable Configurations: Designed to accommodate various pipe sizes, weights, and coating requirements, Walking Beams adapt to different applications.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Efficiency: By automating pipe movement, Walking Beams reduce handling time and labor costs. This improves throughput and boosts productivity in the coating line.
- Superior Coating Quality: Smooth and controlled movement ensures coatings remain intact, delivering high-quality finished pipes.
- Reduced Damage Risk: Gentle handling prevents scratches, dents, and other defects that could compromise coatings or pipe surfaces.
- Increased Safety: Automation minimizes manual handling, reducing workplace accidents and improving operational safety.
- Versatility: With multiple configurations available, Walking Beams provide a flexible solution for different coating line setups.
- Optimized Transport: Besides moving single pipes, the system can advance multiple pipes simultaneously, making it a highly efficient solution.
How It Works:
Walking Beams lift and move pipes step by step. Hydraulic cylinders sequentially raise the beams, shifting the pipe forward before lowering it back down. This stepwise motion allows pipes to “walk” along the coating line. The movement speed adjusts to match coating process requirements, ensuring precise alignment for optimal application.
The Full Scope:
Walking Beams enhance efficiency in pipe coating facilities. Often combined with conveyors and tilting racks, they create a fully integrated system for automated pipe movement. This setup minimizes manual intervention, streamlines operations, and reduces errors.
Product Range:
The range of available walking beams includes systems designed for different pipe sizes and coating requirements. Some systems are optimized for high-speed operations, while others are built to handle larger, heavier pipes with greater precision. Numerous customization options are available, allowing walking beams to be adapted to specific operational and situational circumstances, such as varying the lifting height or stroke length, adjusting the movement speed, or moving multiple pipes in one go.
