Recently, the AGV steel‑tube handling system for the automated pickling and phosphating line at Henan Feima Lifting Machinery Group Co., Ltd. has entered a phase of intensive yet orderly final assembly. The complete set of core equipment has undergone full‑machine assembly and electrical commissioning in the production workshop, with efforts now fully focused on completing and delivering the project.

Addressing the industry’s pain points—complex operating conditions, severe corrosion, bulky workpieces, and frequent handling—the Feima Lifting team has deeply cultivated the lifting and material‑handling needs of the hot‑dip galvanizing, pickling, and phosphating sectors. In response, they have custom‑developed this AGV‑based intelligent steel‑pipe handling system, which replaces traditional manual overhead cranes to automate the entire process: loading, transferring, entering and exiting the pickling tank, and unloading. The complete system is equipped with Feima’s smart hoists and features a fully variable‑frequency ABB drive control system. All motion—lifting, trolley travel, and carriage movement—is driven by variable‑frequency drives, ensuring smooth operation with minimal start‑stop shock, perfectly suited to the frequent starts and stops and repeated jog‑mode operations typical in pickling workshops. The entire unit undergoes enhanced anti‑corrosion treatment, resisting the corrosive acid mist of the pickling environment, significantly extending equipment life and guaranteeing long‑term stable performance under harsh conditions. The electrical control cabinet integrates a full suite of variable‑frequency drives, communication modules, and sensing components, offering overload protection, limit‑switch protection, self‑diagnostic fault detection, data acquisition, and remote communication capabilities. It can interface with higher‑level production‑line systems and synchronize seamlessly with the pickling and phosphating process flow. The equipment enables automatic alignment, automated steel‑pipe gripping, and process‑driven transfer, reducing personnel exposure to the high‑risk pickling zone, lowering labor intensity, and boosting both operational efficiency and safety across the entire pickling and phosphating line.

As a provider of comprehensive lifting and handling solutions tailored to the hot-dip galvanizing, pickling, and phosphating industries, Feima Lifting remains focused on addressing industry‑specific pain points and continuously iterates its customized, intelligent lifting equipment. Beyond supplying individual lifting units, we offer customers end-to-end services—ranging from solution design and equipment manufacturing to final assembly, commissioning, and after-sales maintenance—helping the traditional metal surface‑treatment sector transition toward automation, intelligence, and reduced labor requirements.
