Dual-Platform Chain Flipper: Achieving 3-Ton Stability with 60s Cycle Time for Screw Pump Casings
Project Overview
This 3-ton chain-driven flipping machine is designed for foundry casings of screw pumps.
Featuring dual 1.5×1.5m platforms with 90° flipping stability, it ensures safe handling of heavy workpieces (≤3000kg) through reinforced base guards and emergency stop systems.
With a 60s flipping cycle and mobile installation options, it optimizes workflow efficiency.
Basic Parameters –
| Product Model | FZPT-3000 |
|---|---|
| Flipping Platform Size | 1500 mm x 1500 mm + 1500 mm x 1500 mm |
| Flipping Angle | 90° |
| Rated Load | 3000 kg |
| Flipping Speed | 60 seconds per flip |
| Overall Coating | Medium gray (customizable upon request) |
| Installation Method | Pre-drilled lifting holes for easy mobility |
| Emergency Stop | Emergency stop button halts operation instantly; reset by rotating counterclockwise. |
| Base Guard | Anti-slip guardrails on base |
The Challenge
- Screw pump casings are bulky (up to 3 tons), risking instability and damage in conventional flippers.
- Foundry environments demand both high-speed operation and mobile adaptability.
- Lack of instant braking mechanisms during heavy-load flipping.
Solutions
- Dual-Platform Synchronization: Symmetrical 1.5×1.5m platforms balance torque and load distribution.
- Mobile Modular Design: Lifting holes enable rapid deployment and relocation.
- Triple Safety Protocol: Emergency stop + guardrails + chain self-locking for instant response.
Advantages
- Stable Operation: Dual-platform symmetry reduces deviation to <2mm under 3-ton load.
- Instant Braking: Emergency stop cuts power within 0.5s, minimizing risks.
- High Productivity: 60s cycle time increases daily throughput by 50%.
- Flexible Installation: No fixed foundation required, adaptable to layout changes.
