Cranes for Environmental Engineering Equipment Plants
Cranes for environmental equipment manufacturing are configured across four categories: exhaust gas, wastewater, solid waste, and noise control. For exhaust gas scrubbers, the LD Type 5–10t with high lifting height (tower height 6–15m) is recommended; wastewater treatment equipment uses the LD Type 3–10t with stainless steel anti-corrosion; solid waste incinerators require the QD Type 10–30t for large tonnage; and noise control equipment is served by the LD Type 3–5t for light loads. A complete plant setup typically ranges from $15,000 to $75,000.
Exhaust Gas Treatment: High-Lift Hoisting for Scrubbers and Adsorbers
Exhaust gas scrubbers and activated carbon adsorbers are the core equipment in air pollution control systems. Tower bodies range from 2–5m in diameter, 6–15m in height, and weigh 5–20t. The recommended solution is an LD Type 5–10t crane with a lifting height of at least tower height plus 3m. During manufacturing, tower sections are plate-bent and then vertically assembled by welding; the crane assists in flipping and aligning tower sections (with a maximum allowable misalignment of 2mm). Kelude cranes for exhaust gas treatment areas come standard with variable frequency dual-speed control and anti-sway technology. The crane also supports the installation of internal spray layers and packing supports inside the tower body.
Fans in exhaust gas systems (with airflow rates of 10,000–100,000 m³/h) weigh 1–5t and require coordinated hoisting of the fan volute casing along with base installation. Ductwork ranges from 300–2000mm in diameter, weighing 200–2000kg per meter. Kelude recommends installing a KBK workstation crane (0.5–2t) in the fan and duct assembly area.
Wastewater Treatment: Anti-Corrosion Hoisting for Stainless Steel Tanks and Filters
Wastewater treatment equipment — including sedimentation tanks, filters, and membrane systems — is typically fabricated from stainless steel 304/316L or FRP, with equipment weights ranging from 3–15t. The recommended solution is an LD Type 3–10t crane. Stainless steel tank bodies require flipping during the welding process; the crane works in conjunction with positioning jigs to complete tank turnover and assembly welding. During the application of internal anti-corrosion coatings (epoxy or rubber lining), the crane is used for multiple lifting and flipping operations.
Membrane bioreactor (MBR) membrane rack assemblies weigh 500–2000kg, with installation accuracy requirements of perpendicularity within 2mm/m. Kelude cranes for wastewater treatment areas come standard with remote control operation and creep speed hoisting. Chemical dosing units and metering pumps weigh 200–800kg.
Solid Waste Processing: Heavy-Duty Hoisting for Incinerators and Crushers
Solid waste incinerator components — including grate systems, rotary kilns, and secondary combustion chambers — weigh 10–30t. Crusher rotors range from 3–10t. The recommended solution is a QD Type 10–30t double-girder crane. Refractory brick lining installation inside the incinerator requires the crane for vertical material transport. Kelude cranes for solid waste areas come standard with large tonnage dual brake systems.
Flue gas purification equipment in solid waste systems — such as quench towers, baghouse dust collectors, and scrubbers — weighs 5–15t. The dust collector housing is assembled in sections on site, requiring the crane to provide full coverage of the assembly area. Fly ash stabilization systems use mixers and strapping machines weighing 3–8t.
Noise Control Equipment: Light-Duty Hoisting for Enclosures and Silencers
Acoustic enclosures and silencers are primarily constructed from steel plate and sound-absorbing materials, making them relatively light (1–5t). The recommended solution is an LD Type 3–5t crane or a KBK workstation crane. The crane assists in flipping silencers during sound-absorbing cotton filling and perforated plate installation. Kelude employs a combined LD Type + KBK configuration for noise control areas.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What lifting height is required for an exhaust gas scrubber?
A: For tower heights of 6–15 m, the lifting height must be at least the tower height plus 3 m (to accommodate the lifting spreader and safety margin). Kelude's LD Type cranes offer a standard maximum lifting height of 18 m.
Q: Why is anti-corrosion lifting equipment essential for wastewater treatment systems?
A: Stainless steel or fiberglass components are susceptible to pitting corrosion when contaminated by carbon steel. Therefore, lifting spreaders must be made of stainless steel or have a nylon coating.
Q: What capacity crane is needed for hoisting solid waste incinerator components?
A: Grate and rotary kiln components typically weigh between 10 and 30 t. We recommend a QD Type crane with a 20–50 t capacity to provide an adequate safety margin. Kelude offers load capacity assessment services.
Q: Do I need a crane for handling noise control equipment?
A: Yes, if an individual acoustic enclosure weighs 1 t or more, crane assistance is required. For smaller components, a KBK workstation crane is suitable; for larger items, an LD Type crane is recommended.
