Konecranes Oyj: Konecranes to deliver its first Waste-to-Energy cranes to India

In October 2017, Konecranes received an order for two semi-automated
Waste-to-Energy (WTE) cranes and one electrical overhead travelling (EOT) crane
from Greenesol Power Systems Pvt. Ltd. (GPSPL) in Bengaluru, India. This will
be Konecranes' first WTE crane delivery to India. The cranes will be delivered
to a 20 MW waste-to-energy facility in Hyderabad in June 2018. The end user of
the facility is Hyderabad Integrated MSW Ltd, a Ramky Group company. 

"We are very excited about this order," says Joseph Botros, Konecranes'
Director and Head of Waste-to-Energy industry. "These will be the first
Konecranes WTE cranes to be delivered to India. They will operate in a WTE
facility that will be serving one of the largest cities in the country. We
trust that our extensive experience and advanced lifting technology will help
our customers increase reliability and productivity in a production process
where the cranes will be running 24/7." 

"Congratulations!! We are very pleased to be associated with Konecranes for
this prestigious project of ours, in which the WTE main grab cranes are very
critical for the smooth operation of the plant. We are confident that
Konecranes with their expertise in this field overseas, since decades for WTE
application, would be able to deliver in time a reliable and quality product to
make the project a grand success," says Ramesh Kumar, VP Operations, Greenesol
Power Systems Pvt. Ltd. 

The two semi-automated WTE cranes are double girder EOT cranes, each with a
lifting capacity of 12 tons, span of 29.25 m and an 8 m3 electro hydraulics
grab. They will be lifting 1,200 tons of waste daily and will be used for major
functions such as stacking municipality solid waste to the pit area, mixing the
waste, and feeding it into the boiler hopper. The ordered EOT crane will mainly
be used for maintenance of the WTE plant's turbine and generator. 

The cranes will also include Konecranes Main User Interface (MUI), which is
Konecranes new standard for programming WTE automation. Other safety and
productivity enhancing features are Sway Control, Slack Rope Prevention, Shock
Load prevention, Protected Areas, and DynAReg for regenerative braking.
