5 Ton Explosion Proof Jib Crane for Gas Power Plant in Indonesia

10 Apr, 2023

What is an explosion proof jib crane?

An explosion proof jib crane is a special kind of jib crane that is designed to operate safely in hazardous environments where there is a risk of fire or explosion due to flammable gases, vapors, dusts, or fibers. Explosion proof jib cranes have motors and electrical systems that are enclosed in flameproof or non-sparking materials to prevent sparks or heat from igniting the surrounding atmosphere. They also have hooks and other metal parts that are made of non-ferrous materials to avoid friction or impact sparks.

  • In February 2023, DQCRANES designed and manufactured a 5 ton explosion proof jib crane for sale to Indonesia, used for a gas power plant project. The project involved the construction of a new combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant with a capacity of 800 MW. The CCGT plant was designed to use natural gas as the main fuel source and to produce electricity for the national grid. 
  • The explosion proof 5 ton pillar jib crane was used for lifting and moving various components and materials during the installation phase of the project. The jib crane was mounted on a concrete foundation near the gas turbine building. The jib crane had a span of 6 meters and a height of 6 meters. The jib crane had an electric rotation mechanism that allowed it to rotate 360 degrees around the pillar. The jib crane also had an electric wire rope hoist that could lift loads up to 5 tons with a lifting speed of 8 m/min. 
  • DQCRANES explosion proof jib crane is equipped with several safety features to ensure safe and efficient operation in the explosive atmosphere of the gas power plant. The jib crane had motors and electrical systems that were enclosed in flameproof enclosures to prevent sparks from igniting flammable gases or vapors. Additionally, it has an anti-corrosion coating that protects it from damage caused by exposure to corrosive substances.

Why choose explosion-proof jib cranes for gas power plant applications?

  • A gas power plant is a facility that uses natural gas or other combustible gases to generate electricity. Gas power plants have several advantages over other types of power plants, such as lower emissions, higher efficiency, and lower costs. However, gas power plants also pose significant safety challenges due to the presence of flammable gases and high temperatures in the production process.
  • One of the main safety challenges in gas power plants is lifting and moving heavy equipment and materials in areas where there is a potential for gas leaks or explosions. For example, gas turbines, generators, compressors, pipes, valves, and other components need to be installed, maintained, repaired, or replaced regularly. These tasks require precise and reliable lifting devices that can operate safely in explosive atmospheres.
  • An explosion proof jib crane is an ideal solution for lifting and moving loads in gas power plant applications. An explosion proof jib crane can provide localized and flexible lifting capacity in areas where overhead cranes or mobile cranes are not feasible or practical. An explosion proof jib crane can also offer high levels of safety and reliability by preventing sparks or heat from igniting the explosive gases. Moreover, an explosion proof jib crane can be customized to meet the specific requirements of different gas power plant applications, such as capacity, span, height, rotation, speed, control mode, etc.
  • In terms of maintenance, our explosion-proof jib crane requires minimal upkeep thanks to its durable construction and high-quality components. However, regular inspections are necessary to ensure that all safety features are functioning properly and that any potential issues are addressed before they become major problems.
