Alimak Rack and Pinion industrial lifts maintains overhaul, maintenance and inspection services for power plants all over the world. The lifts are designed to operate in demanding industrial environments, outdoors or indoors and need no expensive shafts or lift rooms. They can easily be fitted on new as well as existing structures.
Alimak was the first lift manufacturer in the world to introduce the rack and pinion drive technology. It has delivered over 20 000 rack and pinion systems worldwide to a wide range of industrial locations during more than 55 years in the business.
Why a lift?
Every power plant is striving towards:
Increasing plant output
Improving efficiency
Increasing availability
Reducing operating costs to a minimum
It is of paramount importance to identify potential sources of failure to provide preventive maintenance and – should an unplanned production stop occur – being able to quickly respond to the failure.
To install a lift is often the least expensive way to decrease downtime. Alimak industrial lifts are reliable, efficient, durable and offer a low cost of ownership.
Application areas
Regardless of the source of energy, whether coal-fired, gas-fired, combined cycle, refuse-fired, nuclear, hydroelectric or wind, Alimak lifts provide safe and easy access where required. Alimak lifts are found on:
Absorbers
Accumulator tanks
Boilers
Chimneys
Coal handling facilities
Cooling towers
Crushers
Precipitators
Reactors
Scrubbers
Silos
Wind turbines
Lift design
The Alimak Rack and Pinion drive system offers a number of advantages over wire rope and hydraulic lifts that can be translated into substantial economic benefits. They are designed for demanding industrial environments. No expensive machine room is required as the lift carries its own machinery and no load bearing lift shaft is required. Installations can be inside or outside buildings and also on curved or inclined surfaces.
The lifts can easily be retrofitted to existing structures and have a very narrow and streamlined profile, which is invaluable where space is at a premium. A simple drive principle means easier maintenance and lower service costs and there is practically no restriction in lifting height.
Safety
The Alimak Rack & Pinion lift has obvious advantages over traction lifts. One very important feature is that in case of a power outage, the car can slide back to the nearest landing by gravity at controlled speed using the centrifugal brake. If the rated speed is exceeded, the car is stopped automatically by a safety device.
Installation
The lift car and drive system are completely assembled, wired and tested at the factory before delivery. This ready-to-use package ensures fast installation as time consuming and expensive corrective measures at the jobsite are avoided.
