How to lift and replace the reactor in a multi-story factory building?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, it is a multi-story factory building with a concrete frame structure; there are reaction vessels on the second and third floors. How can these reaction vessels be replaced? Lugs are pre-installed on the beam, and then a steel wire rope is passed through these lugs to lower it ； Or use another method (like a mobile gantry crane)? Could an experienced expert give some guidance? Thank you!
Find an outsourced worker; they can take it down for you in no time. Drill a hole in the floor to insert a steel pipe, and use a winch to lower the equipment to the ground. After that, use a gourd to move the equipment to the side, and complete the task with a crane.
I once saw a reaction kettle being removed by lifting off the roof, with a crane pulling it out from above.
As long as the gourd can be hung there, replacing the reaction vessel doesn’t mean that the reducer and the mixer have to be installed separately; it’s not that complicated
The equipment that needs to be lifted is arranged in rows; lifting beams are installed, and lifting holes are provided on each floor
Hiring a professional will save you a lot of trouble
Thank you for your reply and guidance. We are now in the engineering design phase, still discussing the lifting plan.
Consider factors such as the height of the factory building, the weight of the equipment, and the construction standards for the factory building.
Hang it using the method from the second floor: hang two gourds, one for lifting, one for pulling, one for lowering, one for dragging, one for pulling, and one for lifting – and it will be ready.
