Production of 15 tonne quenching tanks
In the last six weeks we have been intensively working on a special order for ŽDAS. We produced two large oil and water quenching tanks. The giant cylinders were 4 metres in diameter and 12 metres long. Due to their size, production and subsequent transport required a special procedure.
Production:
Large parts, but thin sheet metal thickness. We already had to be careful when assembling the shell of both tanks. We made auxiliary reinforcing crosses that were gradually placed inside the shell. Finally, we gave the tanks a protective coating specifically designed for the conditions in which they will be used.
Handling:
The available machine manipulators were unable to move the tanks without deforming the shell itself. We therefore had to hang them on cranes and roll them on an auxiliary grating.
Transport:
We put "the steel giants" in special saddles that we made and placed on special trucks. And then we just prayed that they would make it through the gates of our production halls safe and sound. The overnight transport went well. The tanks, which travelled from Paskov to Žďár nad Sázavou, will be used to harden the products.
The speed of the order:
This project was also special in terms of deadlines, as we had only 6 weeks for the entire production. The deadline was fixed because of the oversized transport, which entails a lot of necessary permits. So there were 3 shifts working continuously on the tanks, including weekends.
