CR Slitters: An automatic success!
10 June 2024
Fully automated bridges thanks to synergy
Premium really shows how well-orchestrated synergy can go. His project at CR Slitters, a company that processes steel coils, was a great success! This enabled the Valleyfield-based company to accomplish a significant objective: completely automating a portion of its production. Let's examine it.
At the CR Slitters plant, there are two bays that are 650 feet long and specifically meant for managing steel coils. The purpose of this massive warehouse is to store rolled steel sheets that will then be transformed. The company envisioned a fully automated process for moving and organizing these rolls. In order to achieve the objective, the lifting devices used for this task had to be able to move, locate the desired coils, lift them, regrade them, or ship them to the next stage of processing. The entire task had to be completed without the aid of an operator.
To carry out this project, CR Slitters called on the Premium Industrial Group to obtain a turnkey solution. This goal was successfully achieved thanks to the collaboration of several talented partners who are specialized in their field. The ability to implement a complex solution at the cutting edge of technology is due to the coordination of each of these partners.
Thus, the Premium Industrial Group installed 7 double girder overhead cranes with a 60,000 lb load capacity and a 59' span, including a maintenance area. Stahl components are present on 5 of the 7 lifting devices. The rail system was fully installed by our sister company, Structures Industrielles Premium Team IMS, which is dedicated to non-standard hoists, provided the custom-made hoists with coil grabbers that are fully automated. In addition, Premium prepared two pieces of lifting equipment for the integration of the automation solution by our partner Carego, which specializes in this field. Conductix provided Nexus BB products that made the data communication system a reality.
The commissioning of a highly technological turnkey solution that is adaptable to our client's needs has been made possible thanks to this synergy.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our partners who contributed to making this project… an automatic success!
