Demag: Cranes for two paper-roll stores in Thailand

Via its joint venture MHE-Demag, Terex Material Handling has been awarded a contract by Siam Kraft Industry Co. Ltd. for the delivery of five fully automated Demag process cranes. The cranes will be used in two paper-roll shipping stores in the Ratchaburi province.

 
 


An automated paper-roll shipping store that is equipped with three cranes accommodates the entire output of the newly installed PM16 paper machine; a further store provides space for the production output of the PM1 and PM3 paper machines.

In both roll stores, Demag process cranes equipped with mechanical roll grippers provide for fast and, above all gentle storage of the paper rolls. The crane installations can lift up to four rolls at the same time, thus achieving handling rates of 120 rolls per h in the roll store for the PM16 and 80 rolls in the roll store for the PM1 and PM3 paper machines. The scope of delivery also includes the installation of a Demag Warehouse Management System (WMS) at both locations for management of the stores and control of the crane systems. Both stores are planned to enter service at the beginning of 2015.
