Non-stop operation in waste handling

OMIS technology and strength, the frontier of waste handling.

Reliable, powerful, precise, able to operate at high speeds, without interruption, for long periods. And always perfectly suited to the function and structure of use, because they are designed, manufactured and tested according to specific customer requirements.
OMIS double-girder overhead cranes for waste handling meet the toughest tests dictated by an extreme working environment with maximum effectiveness, thanks to top-quality components and an advanced smart automation system: state-of-the-art technology, from control and command via safety PLCs, to supervision with specially developed HMIs, to interfacing with management systems and SCADA.

We manufacture automatic cranes for handling organic or multi-material waste, for organic waste treatment systems, for energy production plants from wood chips and BIOMASS in general, and for MSW disposal plants such as incinerators and waste-to-energy plants.
In plants for the disposal and recycling of waste with organic content, efficiency, accuracy and process safety are a must. Here, dirt, heat and humidity define an aggressive environment, which demands the use of handling systems with the highest requirements, down to the last detail. Continuous cycles and highly aggressive environments require the selection of high quality components and very precise and generous mechanical, electrical and structural designs.
OMIS meets all the needs of the industry in the most efficient way by providing systems with a load capacity of up to 40 tonnes and a span of up to 20 metres, equipped with an OMIS double-reeved open barrel hoist with a swivel gripper. This ensures maintenance work in high humidity conditions, the replacement of rollers and other continuous machine components, the transport of machine parts and service and maintenance work in all working areas.
Automation and customised design minimise human intervention in hazardous conditions and enable the equipment to cope with any specific operating situation.
The cranes operate 24/7, guaranteeing the continuity and reliability of incineration and composting processes and excellent performance in picking, handling, mixing and feeding waste-to-energy plants.
Initial sizing and cycle times are studied and designed with the utmost care, to ensure high and constant productivity with minimum maintenance and thus secure the return on investment.
Particular attention is paid to maintenance issues: the use of easily accessible and replaceable mechanical parts and an open-type electrical design logic allow easy preventive maintenance, rapid intervention and reduced operating costs.

Benefits

Know how

From consulting to engineering and commissioning, OMIS works closely with customers. Given the critical working conditions for machines and operators, the prior sharing of the analysis is fundamental for better operational results. Bespoke crane design and optimised handling lead to highly customised and efficient solutions.

Precision

Integrated oscillation control systems enable fast and precise bucket movement, helping to avoid costly damage to the equipment. They also minimise load sway and increase control during positioning, thus reducing cycle times.

Safety

The smart automation system allows you to select full or semi-automation. Positioning the load thus becomes safe and easy: collisions are avoided, the operator is less fatigued and the risk of failure is reduced. Monitoring systems allow the process to be controlled from the operator’s workstation or from a central control room away from the waste pit.

Automation

Different automation modes precisely meet different operational requirements, optimising processes and the safety of people and equipment, and increasing productivity.
Mission list mode: the crane cyclically carries out the missions set by the operator.
Full-automatic mode: the crane, using sensors and a special interface, detects the presence and quantity of the material below it, foreseeing and executing in continuous mode, without the need for instructions, levelling inside the bunker, or supply to hoppers, shredders, furnaces.

Technology / Software

Automation solutions include control and command via the latest generation safety PLCs and supervision via specially developed HMIs, facilitating mission setting, diagnostics, parameterisation and event logging. The system can also interface with management and SCADA systems in the plant to share information on operation.

Monitoring

Dedicated storage strategies ensure that waste is continuously tracked and moved to the treatment lines. Monitoring tools verify processes and plant status, providing a simple and easily understood overview.

Low consumption

If required, special technical measures can keep energy consumption low. The power regenerated by individual movements can be used by the remaining crane motors, while the excess power is fed back into the grid. This results in significant energy savings compared to what is consumed by a standard overhead crane.

Non stop 24/7

Most disposal and recycling plants operate in a continuous cycle. Cranes, therefore, have to operate without breaks. The right machine, supported by a capable maintenance provider, minimises unplanned downtime and ensures efficient and safe operations. Cranes can be fully customised to meet the specific needs of each customer.

Gangways

Hot-dip galvanised FILS-type expanded metal walkways, positioned along the bridge and on the trolley, facilitate periodic or extraordinary maintenance activities.

Electrical system

Electrical panels and channels are made of stainless steel, to withstand the aggressive environment. The control panel is located on the ground, in a room isolated from the waste pit. It is connected to the overhead crane by means of a festoon or catenary installed along the runways.

Positioning

Bridge and carriage positioning system by means of state-of-the-art radar or laser sensors, suitable for hostile environments. The lifting axis is controlled by absolute encoders fixed to the drum shaft. Thanks to state-of-the-art PLCs and inverters, the machine can perform smooth and fluid movements, guaranteeing extraordinary positioning accuracy

Control station

The control station is designed to give the operator full control of the system. Thanks to specially developed software, it is possible, from the station itself, to launch automatic missions, supervise the area and intervene with controlled manoeuvres. Environment and crane are always under control via monitor.

Weighing

A weighing system integrated in the open barrel hoist unit allows continuous recording and sharing of the material handled.

Rope

The ropes of the OMIS open barrel hoist are of the highest quality and capable of excellent performance. Made of galvanised steel, with a compacted 8-strand metal core, they are extremely strong. The rope end is connected to a wedge socket, making it very easy to replace during maintenance.

Data exchange

The system is set up to continuously share data with a specially programmed management system or SCADA and adjusted according to the user’s needs. The details and format of the information exchanged can be customised if required.

Heap detection

In order to maximise the potential of the plant, sensors can be installed on board the crane to detect the height of the heaps below it. This allows the crane to level the area automatically and optimise the lowering speed of the bucket for material pick-up.
The data collected by the sensors are processed by the PLC and then interpreted and displayed by the overhead crane’s automatic control system.
Depending on the type of plant, laser scanners or radar sensors are used.

CCTV

Remote-controlled mobile or fixed IP cameras are installed on board the machine. Appropriate screens positioned in the control room allow the operator to check the status of the system.

Assembly in the workshop

The structure, efficiency and performance of each crane are thoroughly tested during pre-assembly in the workshop. OMIS thus ensures that all users receive a safe and reliable turnkey service based on the highest market standards.
Every single technology and component is tested individually and as a whole, simulating as accurately as possible the specific final installation that will later take place on site.

Constant control

Travel missions are controlled by an automatic system along optimised routes.
Technology and sensors allow total control and traceability of what happens in the bunker: no detail of the operations can be overlooked, ignored or lost.
