Hydraulic Slab Tong with 2 scissors in fully automated operation

HEPPENSTALL, in cooperation with its customer, has developed and produced a hydraulic slab tong with a capacity of 40 t for hot slab operation for Arcelor Mittal Gent in Belgium to place slabs on the roller conveyor, feeding the walking beam furnaces of the hot strip mill.

The slab tong has been optimized in particular for a high lifting frequency. To meet customer requirements of high readiness and reliability, the structure of the tong has been designed applying modern Finite Element Analysis (FEA) besides state of the art technology defined by standards like EN 13155 and EN 13001.

The hydraulic slab tong has been working at the customer site since beginning of 2019 and has proven itself in daily hard use since.

Automatic slab tong with 4 scissors for slabs with geometrical deviations

Automatic slab tong with 4 scissors

HEPPENSTALL has designed and produced for its customer "Altos Hornos de México, S.A.B. de C.V.” in Monclova, Mexico a slab tongs with a capacity of 40 t, which can safely lift and transport raw and rolled slabs with large geometrical deviations (conicity).

With a specially designed table device, the tong is aligned and positioned on top of the slab, so that the individual scissors grip individually. A safe lifting and transporting of concentric slab is guaranteed. As an additional benefit, the automatic slab tong can grab and lift two short slabs with two scissors each simultaneously.

The installation and commissioning on site was carried out by our HEPPENSTALL service engineers. The automatic slab tong has proven itself in daily hard use at „Altos Hornos de México, S.A.B. de C.V“ since summer 2017.
