Introduction:
Tilting Racks are systems designed to facilitate the efficient and safe handling of pipes in various industrial settings, particularly in oil and gas operations.
Solution:
Tilting Racks offer a reliable solution for automated pipe movement, particularly at the plant entrance or when directing pipes to separate areas. When integrated with other pipe handling equipment, they form an efficient automated system, minimizing the need for manual handling and ensuring reliable pipe transport throughout the coating process.
Key Features:
- Fast and efficient pipe transport
- Sturdy construction capable of handling various pipe sizes and weights
- Control system integrated with the plant control system
- Hydraulic vertical actuation for smooth and precise movement
- Adjustable tilting angles to accommodate different production specifications and pipe sizes
- Pipe surface-specific lining to prevent pipe slippage
- Modular design for easy integration with existing pipe handling systems
- Smooth transition from offline operations to plant
- Can create a buffer of pipes to have a sufficient number of pipes ready for the production process and supply them at the required moment
Benefits:
- Increased Safety: Minimizes the need for manual handling, reducing the risk of workplace injuries.
- Enhanced Efficiency: Speeds up pipe handling processes, improving overall operational productivity.
- Versatility: Accommodates a wide range of pipe sizes and types, providing flexibility in operations.
- Precision Control: Allows for accurate positioning of pipes, crucial for subsequent processes like cleaning or inspection.
How it Works:
Tilting racks catch pipes on arms. These arms can be tilted to various angles, to move the pipe to the next module. Depending on the size and weight of the pipes, this tilting action typically is hydraulically controlled or set to a fixed angle. Once the pipe advances to the next module, the rack resets to its original position, ready to receive the next pipe.
The Full Scope:
- Part of the pipe handling system to transport pipes horizontally
- Can be an automated system to load and unload pipes
- Preparation for correct pipe inspection or preparation
- Tailor made pipe transport system, optimized for the situation
