Replacing refractory bricks in heavy metallurgical smelting furnaces requires positioning cylindrical furnace shells flat on their side without slippage during maintenance. This non-standard custom heavy-duty 10-ton industrial furnace body hydraulic upender features a V-groove deck with dual hydraulic locking clamps and an adjustable furnace-mouth holding fixture.
10-Ton Heavy Duty Capacity: Fabricated with 200x100x8mm structural steel tubing and 8mm solid deck plating.
Hydraulic Clamping & Fixturing: Dual hydraulic locking cylinders and adjustable rim clamps prevent furnace movement.
Rapid 30-Second Tilting: Powered by an 11kW AC400V motor driving 4 heavy-duty 160mm cylinders.

Engineered for extreme metallurgical shop conditions, the upender frame is fabricated from 2001008mm rectangular structural steel tubing with an 8mm solid steel platform deck (Q235 steel). Tilting is driven by 4 heavy-duty 160mm hydraulic cylinders with chromium-plated piston rods, powered by an 11kW AC400V 50Hz motor. One platform side features an integrated V-groove cradle, fitted with 2 hydraulic locking cylinders to clamp the furnace body securely. An adjustable fixture clamp installed at the furnace mouth locks the rim, preventing furnace slippage during refractory brick installation. The exterior undergoes shot-blasting to Sa 2 1/2, followed by inorganic zinc-rich primer and heat-resistant silicone coating (RAL 9006 metallic silver, DFT >= 115um). Structural design adheres to OSHA machinery standards.
Built for long service life, all hydraulic cylinder pivot points and hinge pins feature dry-lubricated bushings with accessible grease nipples. Hydraulic lines use high-pressure hoses rated for 35MPa, shielded with flame-retardant corrugated conduit. Delixi electrical components inside the IP55 control enclosure feature phase-loss relays for motor thermal protection. Includes a 12-month structural and hydraulic warranty backed by full technical documentation packages including DWG and PDF engineering drawings.
Operation is managed via a 5-meter wired pendant operator box equipped with an emergency stop button. Technicians execute complete 90-degree furnace upending in approximately 30 seconds per cycle. Hydraulic locking cylinders engage at the touch of a button, locking the furnace shell in a flat horizontal position to allow worker access during refractory lining installation, as featured in Electric & Hydraulic Tilters.
Platform safety complies with international ANSI industrial machine compliance standards.
Hydraulic Velocity Fuses: Built-in cylinder explosion-proof check valves lock hydraulic fluid instantly if line pressure ruptures.
Hydraulic Relief Overload Protection: Pump station relief valves bypass fluid automatically if payload exceeds the 10,000kg limit.
Phase-Loss Relay Circuitry: Electrical control box cuts power to the 11kW motor automatically upon supply phase failure.
Dual Hydraulic & Rim Locking Clamps: Two hydraulic locking clamps plus a furnace-mouth fixture prevent furnace movement.
Emergency Stop Interlock: High-visibility emergency stop pushbutton cuts drive power immediately during unexpected hazards.
Metallurgical Smelting Furnace Refractory Maintenance: Flipping 10-ton furnace shells 90 degrees to lay them flat for refractory brick replacement.
Foundry Induction Furnace Shell Overhaul: Tilting heavy melting furnaces between vertical operation and horizontal coil maintenance positions.
Heavy Smelting Ladle & Pot Re-Orientation: Safely turning 10-ton molten metal ladles and slag pots for slag removal and relining.
Chemical Processing Vessel Maintenance: Re-positioning heavy cylindrical chemical reactors for internal inspection, as seen in Mold Upenders (90°/180°) .
Steel Mill Converter & Furnace Shell Fitting: Upending large steelmaking furnace segments during plant overhaul.
Heavy Pressure Vessel & Cylinder Inspection: Tilting thick-walled pressure tanks 90 degrees for ultrasonic weld testing.
For this heavy-duty series, we can engineer load capacities up to [300] tons, with platform dimensions and lifting heights customized to your operational envelope. Requirements exceeding our standard engineering matrix will undergo a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) by our engineering team to ensure structural viability before proposing a solution.
To initiate the engineering proposal, please provide the following baseline data:
Rated Load Capacity
Maximum Lifting Height & Closed Height
Platform Dimensions (L x W)
Duty Cycle (e.g., operational cycles per hour/day)
Environmental Conditions (e.g., indoor/outdoor, washdown, explosion-proof)
Pit depth or overhead clearance constraints
Yes. The control systems can be equipped with standard communication protocols (e.g., Profinet, Modbus, Ethernet/IP) utilizing [Siemens / Allen-Bradley / Omron] PLCs. This ensures seamless I/O signal synchronization with upstream/downstream conveyors, AGV/AMR units, and your central control room.
Every custom unit undergoes a mandatory Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) prior to dispatch. This includes continuous operational testing at 100% rated load, static overload testing at [120% / 125%] capacity, and the physical triggering of all mechanical anti-fall and hydraulic safety interlocks. FAT documentation and video proof are included in your engineering package.
Upon final approval of the General Arrangement (GA) drawings, the manufacturing lead time is typically 4 to 8 weeks. Oversized structural components are engineered with a modular design to fit into standard shipping containers (20FT/40HQ). On-site assembly utilizes pre-engineered bolted flange connections and heavy-duty aviation plugs, strictly eliminating the need for field welding.
We provide a standard [12/24]-month warranty covering the structural frame and primary hydraulic/electrical components. To minimize operational downtime, a comprehensive set of standard consumables (e.g., cylinder seal kits, travel switches, relays) is shipped alongside your equipment. During the warranty period, replacement parts for non-human-induced failures are dispatched via priority air freight (DHL/FedEx) within 48 hours.
Beyond the warranty, we guarantee lifetime engineering support. Your custom equipment's CAD drawings, electrical schematics, and BOM (Bill of Materials) are permanently archived in our system. This ensures you receive uninterrupted remote troubleshooting, maintenance guidance, and exact spare parts matching for the entire lifecycle of the equipment.
