What is tank hydraulic jacking system?

Hydraulic jacking system is an important machine for tank construction. The equipment is mainly used for inverted construction of vertical cylindrical steel tank (hydraulic lifting method) in petrochemical industry, inverted construction of steel liner in power plant chimney and inverted construction of vertical cylindrical low temperature tank. I will give you a detailed introduction of the hydraulic jacking system.

What are the characteristics and applications of hydraulic jacking system?

●Application

1.The hydraulic jacking system are mainly used for vertical tank top to bottom construction.

2.Also it can be used for mega work piece jacking or lifting.

●Features

1.The system consists of hydraulic pump station, cylinders, steel wire, and strokes. Easy to installation and operation;

2.The system utilizes PLC central control to handle lift. Each power pack is equipped with auxiliary balance device to guarantee the precision of simultaneously lifting.

3.Hydraulic jacking system pump station has subsidiary manual control and central control two operation models. The cylinder can be adjusted to lift separately or to lift with several others as one group, and multi groups can also be integrated to lift reach better precision and better welding effect.

4.All the cylinders are with safety valve. It can be automatically locked to avoid cylinder/ tank dropping even under situation of power off, high-pressure hose broken, burst.

5.The cylinder is with one high pressure hose to avoid oil leaking that usually happen by the traditional multiple hoses. Cylinder will return to initial condition by itself weight.

6.Stroke of Hydraulic cylinder is 1475mm, which can satisfy each annular shell with 2500 plate one-step lift. Greatly reduce the time waste.

7.Hydraulic cylinder basic height is 2050mm, which can match automatic girth welding machine to proceed internal girth seam welding.

8.Module configuration, the hydraulic jack quantity can be adjusted as per different size of tank and weight

9.High efficiency, each time lifting or falling down only needs around 15 minutes.

10.Can well cooperate with our tank welding machines, which can greatly reduce the manpower cost and reduce the construction time; Usually one Horizontal seam welding machine can match 6-10 skilled welder. Vertical seam welding machine can match around 20-30 people skilled welder and butt/fillet welding tractor can match 6-15 skilled welder.

What are the types of hydraulic jacking system?

At present, we have three types of hydraulic jacking system in WINCOO Engineering Co., LTD. They are the following three: Advanced hydraulic jacking system, Simple unfixing Holding -latch hydraulic Jacking system and Simple chain type hydraulic jacking system.

What is the working principle of hydraulic jacking system?

Hydraulic jacking system (package unit) is evenly distributed around tank inner wall. Tank top and upper (the first layer) wall plates are lifted first and then install and weld wall plates of tank body. Self locking hydraulic jacking system and hydraulic hoist composing of lifting frame and lifting rod are adopted. When oil enters hydraulic jacking system, upper clamp fastens and lifts lifting rod and expansion ring and mobilize tank (including tank top) to ascend upward. When oil returns to jack, upper clamp returns with piston and lower clamp automatically fastens lifting rod without gliding. The jack repeats the movement and make lifting rod ascend with tank to designated height (spare height for next layer of plate). After butt weld of next layer of wall plates, open upper and lower loosening device and loosen upper and lower clamp to make lifting rod and expansion ring descend to lower expanded and welded rib plate of the next layer of wall plates and then lift. Repeat the process and ascend welded tan till the last layer of wall plates are installed and welded. The installation of the whole storage tank is completed.

What are the construction steps of hydraulic jacking system?

The following short description gives the working procedure in outline. It can in certain details be modified when required.

1.The tank bottom – plates are placed on the prepared foundation and welded together.

2.The beams or lattice work of the roof are assembled and finally joined to the upper rim of the shell ring.

3.The hydraulic jacking system is installed in the tank. The plates of the second shell ring (next to the top ring) are positioned outside the first one.

4.The completed part of the tank (roof and top shell ring) is lifted hydraulically to a height at which the plates of the second ring can be moved into place and the roof sheeting can be completed.

5.The plates of the second shell ring are located exactly and welded together to the lower edge of the first ring.

6.The plates of the third shell ring are placed outside the second shell ring.

7.The completed part of the tank (roof the two uppermost shell rings) is lifted.

8.The above cycle of operations is repeated until the last (bottom) shell ring is finished.

9.The entire tank is lowered down to the bottom plate and welded to this.

10.The lifting equipment is dismantled.

Hydraulic jacking system is mainly used in large tank construction. WINCOO ENGINEERING CO.,LTD is supplying tank hydraulic jacking system to tank contractors worldwide.
