Konecranes technology boosts Hyosung’s efficiency

May 12, 2017 12:01 pm

An advanced new Hyosung manufacturing plant supplying critical components for India’s electrical power distribution grid is using Konecranes lifting technology to help ensure outstanding safety, efficiency and reliability.

The state-of-the-art facility in the Khed City Economic Zone near Pune produces high-voltage gas-insulated switch gear, transformers, circuit breakers and other related components using the latest lean manufacturing technology to contribute to the government’s ‘Make in India’ program.

Hyosung says the new plant– which is 30 per cent more space-efficient than typical older plants – is purpose-built to make a massive contribution in enhancement of electrical transmission efficiency and reliability for the Power Grid Corporation of India.

The 20 CXT overhead Konecranes of 5-20 tonnes and the eight 3.2 tonnes Wall Travelling Cranes installed at the Pune plant were all manufactured in India to deliver the safety, accuracy and reliability vital to their role of assembling GIS (Gas Insulated Switchgear) up to 800 kV, including the critical task of accurately joining major assemblies before SF6 gas insulation gas is introduced.

The Konecranes e-Ton (economy per ton) semi-modular cranes involved are from a new Konecranes India range of winch cranes of 5-50 tonnes capacity, which are based on Konecranes’ decades of experience on the sub-continent producing low-maintenance, highly cost-efficient and ergonomic cranes with outstanding Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) benefits.
