Magnetic lifting equipment revolutionizes material handling to improve shipbuilding efficiency. High-performance magnets, including electro permanent magnets (EPM), are game-changers in shipyards. They offer unmatched strength and reliability for handling steel plates and components. Therefore, modern shipyards increasingly adopt these heavy-duty magnetic solutions.
Improve Shipbuilding Efficiency: Key Advantages of EPM Lifters
Firstly, EPM lifters significantly enhance safety. They enable hands-free material handling. Consequently, this reduces the risk of workplace injuries during steel plate movement. For instance, HVR MAG EPM systems use rare-earth magnets to maintain magnetization. This design ensures the load remains secure even if power fails. Thus, backup power systems are unnecessary for critical lifting. This makes them ideal for demanding marine construction applications.
Secondly, these systems offer notable long-term cost benefits for shipyard operations. Shipyard-optimized EPM lifters combine the power of electromagnets with the energy efficiency of permanent magnets. In addition, they consume up to 95% less energy than traditional electromagnets. This is a huge advantage for energy-intensive shipbuilding operations. Moreover, EPMs have extremely low maintenance requirements and a long service life. They can operate 24/7 without cooling because of their 100% duty cycle.
HVR MAG Magnetic Lifting Solutions to Improve Shipbuilding Efficiency
HVR MAG provides a range of solutions utilizing Electro Permanent Magnets (EPM) and other heavy-duty technology.
Here are the specialized systems HVR MAG offers:
Cutting Line Part Handling System
- This system eliminates production bottlenecks when unloading cut parts from plasma and laser cutting tables in manufacturing environments.
- It reduces the time for manual cleanup of factory exit tables from 60–90 minutes to just a few minutes.
- Experts configure the magnet layout to efficiently pick up all cut parts and the skeleton in a single lift.
Built-in Battery Magnetic Lifting System
- This system is an ideal heavy-duty solution for factory areas with limited or unavailable power supply.
- It seamlessly integrates with a factory’s bridge cranes, boom trucks, and material handling forklifts.
Fixed Spreader Beam EPM Lifters for Shipyards
- Designed specifically for shipyard operations, this system safely lifts long structural parts, steel plates, and billets.
- It is a shipyard-grade system that can be customized in size based on specific material handling needs in shipbuilding.
EPM Lifters with Telescopic Beams for Factories and Shipyards
- This equipment handles manufacturing and shipbuilding operations involving various sizes of steel plates.
- It offers necessary adjustability according to the steel plate’s length.
Conclusion
To improve shipbuilding efficiency, facilities must select durable equipment. Industrial magnets used in shipyards need to withstand the harsh marine environment. Choosing robust, low-maintenance systems is key to long-term efficient operation. Properly maintained, a shipyard-grade magnetic lifting system can reliably serve for decades. This ensures excellent long-term reliability in ship construction.
