Gantry crane is a large lifting equipment that is widely used in port loading and unloading operations. It can undertake the tasks of loading, unloading, handling and stacking cargo, improve the port's loading and unloading efficiency, reduce labor costs, enhance the port's competitiveness, and plays a key role in the port's production. However, due to its special working environment and complex structure, gantry crane fires occur from time to time. Gantry crane fires not only pose a serious threat to port production safety, but also adversely affect production efficiency. Therefore, taking effective measures to prevent gantry crane fires is of great significance for ensuring port production safety and improving production efficiency.
The impact of gantry crane fires on port production safety and production efficiency cannot be ignored. Once a fire occurs in a gantry crane, it will not only cause equipment damage, but also have a serious impact on the port's loading and unloading operations. Fires may cause cranes to fail to work properly, causing cargo delays and accumulation, affecting normal port operations. In addition, fires will also pose a huge threat to port production safety, possibly causing explosions, smoke, poisonous gas and other dangers, threatening the lives of staff. So, let’s understand the causes of gantry crane fires.
Electrical failure is one of the main causes of gantry crane fires. Due to the complex working environment of gantry cranes, electrical equipment is easily affected by factors such as moisture and corrosion, which can lead to electrical faults and fires. In addition, mechanical failure of gantry cranes is also a common cause of fires. Wear, looseness, overheating and other problems of mechanical parts may cause fires. In addition, operator errors and external factors, such as lightning strikes, high temperatures, etc., may also lead to gantry crane fires. The port carries a large volume of cargo, a wide variety of goods, and contains flammable and explosive items. If a gantry crane catches fire and fails to be extinguished in time, it will inevitably cause serious economic losses and casualties. Therefore, equipping gantry cranes with effective and reliable fire extinguishing devices is crucial to the safety of both the gantry crane and the entire port.
The port machinery automatic fire extinguishing system is an effective, reliable, intelligent and environmentally friendly fire extinguishing device originated from Germany. The system can meet the needs of gantry cranes, gantry cranes, quay cranes, forklifts, reach stackers, yard bridges, loading and unloading ships Fire safety protection for various port mobile machinery such as stackers and reclaimers, loaders, grab buckets, and belt conveyors. The system integrates a number of innovative fire protection technologies to achieve fully automatic integrated protection without power supply and manual intervention. Through independent fire detection, fire judgment, fire early warning, and sprinkler fire extinguishing, it ensures the safety of the gantry crane. Fire Safety.
The port mechanical automatic fire extinguishing system has the characteristics of rapid and accurate fire determination, fast fire emergency response, safe and effective sprinkler fire extinguishing, simple and convenient installation and maintenance, and long-lasting system. The system adopts a temperature-sensitive fire source detection device with good sensitivity and can be installed in Each flammable space of the gantry crane monitors the temperature changes in the space at close range. There are many detector triggering temperatures to choose from, so the false alarm rate of fire is lower; and once the system is installed, it enters an autonomous protection state, whether it is Detection, early warning, startup, and fire extinguishing can all be completed directly through the mechanical linkage of each component of the system without manual intervention. The entire process is efficient and fast, which can greatly improve the efficiency of fire emergency response and is very beneficial for early control of fires and extinguishing fire sources. In addition to its obvious advantages in performance, this system is also very representative in terms of safety. The agents used in the system are non-toxic, fluorine-free, and biodegradable. After fire extinguishing, there is no harm to equipment, people or the environment.
