Location: Indonesia

Industry: Non‑ferrous metals / Aluminum production

Product: 10-ton-multi-functional-aluminum-electrolysis-crane

The Challenge

An Indonesian aluminum smelter was expanding its production capacity. The potroom environment is one of the harshest in industry: high heat, corrosive gases, and strong magnetic fields. Ordinary cranes would fail quickly. The client needed reliable, corrosion‑resistant cranes that could work 24/7.

After receiving the inquiry, Zehua Heavy Industry promptly formed a project team and conducted a detailed discussion on the operation requirements. Within three days, we provided a detailed solution and quotation. Based on the specific needs of the client, our technical team developed the best lifting solution, which was ultimately approved by the client.

Zehua’s Solution

Zehua designed custom electrolytic cranes specifically for this environment:

1.Fully sealed electrical compartments – protected from acid fumes and dust.

2.Magnetic‑shielded controls – ensure stable operation even near powerful electrolytic cells.

3.Special tools – the cranes can change anodes, break crust, and tap molten metal without needing separate equipment.

Key Benefits

Cranes survive years in harsh conditions without frequent breakdowns.

One machine handles multiple jobs, reducing the number of cranes needed.

Operator cabins are air‑conditioned and filtered for comfort and safety.

Results

Zehua’s custom‑designed electrolytic cranes transformed the smelter’s potroom operations. By engineering fully sealed electrical compartments, magnetic‑shielded controls, and integrated tooling, we enabled the client to cut anode change time from 12 to 7 minutes—contributing to a 9% increase in overall output. The cranes have operated reliably for over four years without corrosion‑related downtime, proving that the right design can thrive even in the most aggressive industrial environments.
