Low-Carbon Lifting Magnet for Plate Lifting and Billet Handling in Shipbuilding

Our client is a globally renowned shipbuilding and marine engineering company. They specialize in building, repairing, and modifying various types of ships and offshore engineering equipment, including marine modules, port machinery, and metal structures for both land and marine use. The company is a leader in the development of green and intelligent engineering equipment, focusing on floating production platforms and renewable energy vessels. With a strong commitment to energy efficiency and carbon reduction, the company aims to improve resource utilization and reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. Currently, the company has a full order book, with projects scheduled until 2028.

Steel Lifting Challenges in Shipbuilding

The client faced challenges in handling heavy steel plates and steel billets during their shipbuilding and marine engineering processes. Traditional lifting methods, such as cranes with hooks or chains, were time-consuming and required multiple workers to operate safely. This not only increased labor costs but also slowed down production, which was critical given their saturated order book. Additionally, the client was committed to reducing their carbon footprint and improving energy efficiency. They needed a tool that could improve productivity, reduce energy consumption, and simplify operations while maintaining high safety standards.



To address these challenges, we provided the client with our Electro Permanent Lifting Magnet, designed specifically for heavy-duty applications in shipbuilding. The magnet was tested on-site at the client's facility, where it successfully lifted steel plates and billets weighing up to 5 tons. The test results were highly satisfactory, with the client noting a 40% reduction in lifting time compared to traditional methods. The magnet's energy-efficient design consumes power only during magnetization and demagnetization, saving 95% energy less than electric magnetic lifter. This aligns perfectly with the client's goal of reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.
One of the key advantages of the Electro Permanent Lifting Magnet is its versatility. A single magnet can be used for both steel plate and steel billet lifting, eliminating the need for multiple tools and simplifying operations. Additionally, to ensure the highest level of safety, the magnet underwent rigorous testing, including a 3x pull-off test. This means the magnet can securely hold loads up to three times its rated capacity, significantly reducing the risk of accidents. Its robust design also makes it suitable for the demanding environment of a shipyard, where dust, moisture, and heavy loads are common.


Personalized Lifting Magnet Features for Shipbuilding Company

To meet the specific needs of the client, we customized the Electro Permanent Lifting Magnet with a special electrical control system designed to integrate seamlessly with their existing crane systems. This customization ensured that the magnet could be easily operated using the client's current equipment, reducing the need for additional training or modifications to their infrastructure. A single operator can handle the entire lifting process, reducing labor costs by up to 75% and improving workplace safety. These personalized features helped the client achieve faster turnaround times and improved efficiency in their production processes.

How Electro Permanent Lifting Magnet Benefits Shipbuilding Industry?

The shipbuilding and marine engineering industry is increasingly focused on sustainability and efficiency. Our Electro Permanent Lifting Magnet supports these goals by significantly reducing energy consumption and improving productivity. For instance, the client reported a 80% reduction in energy costs related to lifting operations, contributing to their overall carbon reduction targets. The magnet's ability to be operated by a single worker has also streamlined their processes, allowing them to handle their saturated order book more effectively.

 

In addition to these benefits, the magnet's secure grip and robust design have enhanced workplace safety, reducing the risk of accidents and associated costs. By adopting this innovative solution, the client has not only improved their operational efficiency but also reinforced their position as a leader in green and intelligent engineering equipment.

Conclusion

The successful on-site testing and implementation of our Electro Permanent Lifting Magnet have demonstrated its value to the client. The magnet has helped the client achieve significant improvements in productivity, energy efficiency, and safety, all while supporting their commitment to sustainability. Its ability to handle both steel plates and billets with a single tool, combined with its proven safety performance in the 3x pull-off force test, makes it an indispensable asset for the client's operations. As the shipbuilding and marine engineering industry continues to evolve, our innovative solutions will play a crucial role in helping companies meet their operational and environmental goals.
