Billet Tong is a specialized below-the-hook lifting device designed for the safe and efficient handling of billets, blooms, and ingots in high-temperature industrial environments. The Billet Tong operates by clamping force between its jaws, gripping the load securely through friction or mechanical pressure. This Billet Tong is engineered to handle single or multiple billets per stroke in a horizontal or flat position, making it an indispensable tool for steel mills, aluminum plants, foundries, and other heavy industries.

Key Features

1. Robust Design for Harsh Environments

The Billet Tong is built to withstand the severe conditions encountered in steel mills and casting facilities. Every Billet Tong features a heavy-duty welded body structure that ensures long service life even under continuous operation in high-temperature environments. The Billet Tong can handle radiant heat effectively, making it suitable for hot billet handling near furnaces and rolling mills.

2. Reliable Clamping Mechanism

Depending on the specific type, a Billet Tong may utilize a lever-type or eccentric-type mechanism. The lever-type Billet Tong relies on friction generated by normal force at the jaw, while the eccentric-type Billet Tong uses tension from an eccentric block to produce clamping force. In both cases, the Billet Tong ensures that the clamping force is always proportional to the weight of the lifted load, providing automatic and reliable operation.

3. High Efficiency and Safety

Each Billet Tong is equipped with an automatic latching device that ensures safe and reliable operation of the clamping mechanism. To operate the Billet Tong, the operator simply positions it over the load, lowers it to rest on the billet, and raises the hoist—the Billet Tong automatically engages and secures the load. This design of the Billet Tong allows for quick and efficient handling cycles, significantly improving productivity.

4. Versatile Configurations

A Billet Tong can be customized to handle various billet sizes, shapes, and weights. Typical Billet Tong models accommodate section sizes ranging from 350mm × 60mm up to 1300mm × 150mm, with capacities from 3 tons to 35 tons. The Billet Tong can also be designed for single-row or double-row configurations for handling multiple billets simultaneously.

Applications

The Billet Tong is widely used in the following industries and applications:

Steel Mills: Feeding rolling mills, transporting hot billets from casting to storage areas

Aluminum Plants: Vertical pit stripping and lay-down of aluminum billets

Foundries: Handling ingots and castings in forging operations

Metallurgy Industry: General billet, bloom, and slab handling
