Unlock your productivity potential
The forming section constitutes what is called the wet end of the machine. Wood pulp gets pumped from the machine box through screens and cleaners to the head box, which delivers a uniform slurry to the forming wire. The wet end crane helps to erect the paper machine, handle heavy press rolls and machine parts, and support maintenance tasks.
The Konecranes wet end crane can be fully automated or operated manually from a central control room. Made for safety and durability, it is protected from the potentially corrosive, warm and wet environment in which it operates. The versatile crane is easy to adapt for different uses and locations around the plant, such as the coater section, deinking plant, roll grinding workshop, or any other place where a crane is needed.
Wet end cranes
The wet end crane has multiple purposes, ranging from paper machine maintenance to working as a dry end crane back up. It is used to erect the paper machine, to aid in machine roll maintenance and to handle paper machine parts.
