Chain Hoist – Maintenance of Fine Screen Systems – 1x2t

In modern wastewater treatment plants, regular maintenance of fine screen systems is crucial for uninterrupted operation. These screens remove fine solids from the wastewater and protect downstream processes from blockages and damage. Reliable lifting solutions are required for the maintenance of these components.

A mobile gantry crane offers the ideal solution here. Thanks to its flexibility, it can be easily positioned over the maintenance area without the need for fixed installations. This enables quick and safe handling of screen frames, drives, and other heavy components.

The use of aluminium in the construction ensures corrosion resistance and durability, even in humid and aggressive environments like wastewater treatment plants. Additionally, the lightweight nature of the crane facilitates transport and setup by maintenance personnel.

With such a gantry crane, maintenance work can be carried out more efficiently and safely, leading to higher plant availability and reduced downtime.

ELECTRIC CHAIN HOISTS
ATHLO chain & ATHLO chain SL

The ATHLO chain series, our latest generation of chain hoists, is designed for loads up to 5 t. At the launch of the new series, we are offering this model for loads up to 2.500 kg with further options to follow in the coming months.

ATHLO chain combines high security, performance and usability with easy maintenance and a long service life. The modern design features a newly constructed interior and all-new mechanical components. ATHLO chain is easy to use and delivers top performance in different conditions.

In addition to the standard version, ATHLO chain SL is equipped with frequency inverter for sensitive movement. ATHLO chain SL is designed for loads from 125 kg to 2,500 kg.

And here you can see the ATHLO chain product video with our chain hoist product manager. Please take also a look behind the scenes of our chain hoist production.

Higher durability

The hoist motor with its new 4:1 ratio and redesigned cooling fins provides a better cooling in order to extend the service life of the hoist. ATHLO chain offers a new design for activating the limit switch which works flawlessly both in everyday usage and different conditions.

Easiest maintenance

ATHLO chain is low maintenance because both the hoist gear and bearings are designed to last a lifetime. All components are easily accessible, and no special tools are necessary to exchange components and install spare parts.

Higher performance, better handling

The new chain bag helps the chain run quietly and smoothly thus preventing an accumulation of the chain. To ensure top quality, we build the gears with an extended speed range ourselves in house. The compact design and new upper-eye suspension produce an increased lifting height at the same suspension height.

Improved safety

The new break is designed to handle 1 million cycles or up to a lifetime with the proper handling. It responds instantly when the power is turned off. The slipping clutch has a larger diameter and additional grooves to improve the cooling effect of the gear oil and increase its overall service life. Thanks to the new suspension bracket, a push or motor trolley can be installed using a special safety pin – with no further tools required.

Gentle operation

Low noise emissions, sensitive handling of the load with frequency inverter.
