A specialized fluid machinery manufacturer in Huangshan, Anhui Province, required a heavy-duty mechanical tilter to reorient heavy cast-iron and cast-steel pump bodies during precision CNC machining and sub-assembly. The plant designs and manufactures high-performance twin-screw positive displacement pumps for marine, petroleum, chemical, and metallurgy applications. Heavy cast pump casings weighing up to 3,000 kg arrive horizontally from casting lines and must be rotated 90 degrees into a vertical orientation for internal bore boring, milling, and inspection.

Using overhead cranes and manual wire rope chokers to flip 3-ton cast pump casings caused dangerous sling slippage, casting flange fractures, and shop floor near-misses. To establish a standardized, zero-risk turnover station, the Gradin engineering team designed an automated Twin-Screw Pump Casing Tilter. The machine incorporates a 3-Ton Heavy-Duty L-Cradle Platform powered by a Double-Strand 16A-2 Roller Chain Drive. Manufactured in full compliance with the ISO 12100 Safety Standard for industrial machinery , plant operations integrated this Gradin turnover machine alongside our portfolio of custom industrial upenders and mechanical tilters to streamline heavy machining workflows.
