Maßgeschneidertes explosionsgeschütztes Schwerlast-Logistiksystem für die chemische Industrie von BASF
Übersicht
This case analysis details a heavy-duty explosion-proof smart logistics system customized for BASF, the global chemical giant.
The solution centers around a 13.5-meter-high, 2000 kg capacity heavy-duty lift and includes 14 supporting automated conveyor units.
It is specifically engineered to meet the chemical industry’s stringent requirements for explosion-proofing, corrosion resistance, and material compatibility, enabling fully automated, intelligent transfer of 1.1m standard pallets between raw material warehouses, production workshops, and finished product storage areas.
Grundlegende Parameter
| Parameter | Lift System | Conveyor System (Example) |
|---|---|---|
| Nennlast | 2000 kg | 2000 kg |
| Lifting Height/Travel | 13500 mm | 500-1430 mm (Lifting section) |
| Betriebsgeschwindigkeit | 30 m/min | 6 m/min |
| Bahnhöfe | 3 Stops, 3 Stations | Multi-directional sorting |
| Core Component Brands | Siemens PLC, ABB Inverter, Dongli Motor | Omron Sensors, Dongli Reducer |
| Safety & Protection | Elevator safety gear, light curtain detection, three-color beacon | E-stop, brake, protective guards |
| Material Specification | Copper & Zinc-Free, 304 SS/316 Nuts, Q235B Powder-coated | 304 Stainless Steel primary |
Wie es funktioniert
The system operates with the heavy-duty Z-type lift as its core hub, isolated at each floor by 3-layer PVC rapid roller doors.
AGVs transport pallets loaded with chemical raw materials into the lift car, where a light curtain system automatically checks cargo dimensions.
The lift travels at 30 m/min, auto-levels, and accurately docks.
A suite of 14 supporting equipment—including rotating roller conveyors and lifting roller conveyors—then takes over to receive, rotate (90°), lift, transfer, and sort pallets, finally delivering them to designated chemical production areas.
Die Herausforderungen
The logistics system for BASF faced extreme challenges specific to the chemical industry:
- Safety & Explosion-Proofing: Strict prohibition of components with fire hazards like buzzers over 15W.
- Material Restrictions: All exposed parts, moving components, and paints must be Zinc and Copper-Free to prevent reactions with chemicals.
- Ultra-High Reliability: Requirement for multiple redundant safety guarantees including active power-off braking, safety gears, and buffers—absolute fail-safe operation.
- Automation Integration: Need for seamless integration with AGV systems for fully automated, unmanned operation, minimizing human intervention.
- Data Traceability: The OS must record over 30,000 exportable data entries to meet stringent audit and traceability requirements.
Lösungen
- Chemical Compliance Design: Full system utilizes 304/316 stainless steel and Q235B powder-coated structures, completely eliminating copper and zinc elements, meeting BASF’s material specifications.
- Comprehensive Safety: Safety gear + polyurethane buffers + light curtain detection + three-color beacon alarm form multiple mechanical and electrical safety barriers.
- Premium Brand Assurance: Core components (Siemens PLC, ABB inverter) and sensors (Omron) ensure system reliability in harsh environments.
- Smart Logistics Synergy: The PLC and HMI system intelligently coordinate the lift and 14 conveyors for automatic docking and precise transfer with AGVs.
- Digital Management: Genuine operating system with three-level password access and extensive data logging fulfills the chemical industry’s strict traceability demands.
