As central handling machines, crane systems play an increasingly important role in the production process of a wide variety of companies, with Baljer & Zembrod accompanying the customer individually from the original idea to the finished crane.
Passion is often not enough in the job.
Baljer & Zembrod has more than 60 years of experience in the wood industry. Baljer & Zembrod is an internationally known provider of innovative cranes for handling in the wood, scrap and recycling industries, electrically operated material handling machines in the wood sawmill industry.
The special production techniques and in particular the more than 60 years of experience in the use of electric drives have contributed to the fact that the machines developed by Baljer & Zembrod can demonstrate a very high level of efficiency. Even connection of just 37 kW ensure smooth operation of heavy-duty crane systems for decades. The most powerful crane systems can achieve their maximum work output with 110 kW units. They only need about 60 percent of their maximum power consumption during normal handling operations.
Experience with electric drives for 60 years
The interest in the recycling business started about 15 years ago and includes scrap management. Clearly BZ has maintained its interest in protecting the environment: BZ cranes are electrically driven and can keep up with diesel-engined material handling machines despite the heavy load.
Baljer Zembrod’s product portfolio today includes stationary and rail-driven heavy-duty crane systems. Every crane is tailored to customer specifications and is therefore actually a special construction that is also manufactured in Germany. Crane systems are increasingly being defined as part of the handling process, stationary or movable on rails.
Each system is clearly adapted to the purpose of the machine: hydraulic systems in particular have to be viewed in a technologically very differentiated way, for example when it comes to directions of rotation for crane systems with different loads and weights.
From project planning to implementation
Customer satisfaction is clearly fundamental: for this reason every need is listened to so that we can satisfy every need by making some adjustments, the basic data such as the desired turnover per hour, the distance to be overcome, bulk weights, work in a hall or in the open air, the specifications of a possible ATEX environment and other company-specific data are recorded in detail. And again, movability features:concrete base, semi-mobile, rail or portal are important keywords.
The statics, determination of operating costs and the integration of any other necessary features are also important framework conditions that are discussed and coordinated intensively with the customer. Once the final and desired Baljer & Zembrod crane type has been found, production, delivery and installation can begin. The commissioning and the CE certification, combined with the Dekra acceptance, ultimately form the end of a project process that always focuses on customer requirements.
The variety of projects that the company now covers certainly shows that this system works: Applications in recycling, scrap, handling wood chips, unloading ships by inland waterway vessels, telescopic cranes for loading and unloading, cranes under ATEX conditions or cranes Weir cleaning may illustrate this diversity.
