Custom Lifting Solutions Drive Green & Smart Transformation in Aluminum Industry

Henan Mine Crane delivers tailored equipment — including multi-functional suction crane, anode carbon block stacking crane, and electrolytic aluminum multi-functional unit — to a leading aluminum enterprise in Baotou, advancing intelligent, safe, and sustainable production.

Henan Mine Crane Co., Ltd. (Henan Mine) has successfully deployed a customized suite of lifting equipment for an aluminum company in Baotou, Inner Mongolia. The solution, developed under the company’s “Kuang Yuan” brand, integrates a multi-functional suction crane, an anode carbon block stacking crane, and an electrolytic aluminum multi-functional unit. Together, these systems drive the aluminum industry’s shift toward green, intelligent, and highly efficient operations.

Multi-Functional Suction Crane: Versatile and Highly Adaptable

This suction crane combines three core functions — dual carbon block clamp, suction, and material distribution. Its large-stroke opening and closing clamp design adapts flexibly to carbon blocks of varying sizes, eliminating the need for frequent tooth plate changes and repeated adjustments. The result is significantly improved operational convenience and efficiency.

Anode Carbon Block Stacking Crane: High Efficiency with Proven Reliability

As the key transfer hub in the carbon block warehouse, this crane is equipped with an adjustable combination clamp. It can precisely pick up 10 anode carbon blocks in a single cycle and flexibly adjust the number of blocks according to production demands. This achieves a seamless balance between high-throughput operation and flexible production, ensuring stable and continuous material handling for the electrolytic aluminum process.

Electrolytic Aluminum Multi-Functional Unit: Intelligent, Precise, and Safe

This multi-functional unit integrates shell breaking, anode changing, residue cleaning, and automatic cover material loading. A high-precision sensor-based height measurement and tightening system enables automatic crust breaking, spent anode extraction, and cover material recovery.

Leveraging Henan Mine Crane’s proprietary PTM (Precision Total Management) automatic anode changing technology — driven by AI vision recognition — the system autonomously completes eight key process steps. This reduces worker exposure to hazardous environments to zero, significantly lowers labor intensity, and greatly improves both safety and productivity.

Looking Ahead

Henan Mine Crane will continue to advance intelligent manufacturing under its “Kuang Yuan” brand. Through digital, green, and customized full-lifecycle lifting solutions, the company is committed to supporting the high-quality and sustainable development of China’s aluminum industry.
