Bangladesh cement manufacturer powers up with five new E-Cranes

Bangladesh cement manufacturer powers up with five new E-Cranes

(Posted on 02/10/25)

As one of Bangladesh’s leading cement manufacturers, Crown Cement PLC has significantly enhanced its raw material handling operations by installing five new E-Cranes at its main plant. This advancement has streamlined the unloading of essential cement raw materials – such as clinker, slag, limestone, and gypsum – resulting in reduced unloading times and improved overall productivity.

This journey began back in 2011, when Crown Cement installed two 700 Series E-Cranes at its facility in West Mukterpur, Munshiganj.

In 2017, the company introduced a different brand of unloading crane to accommodate its growing demand. However, due to unsatisfactory performance as well as increased unloading requirements, it became clear that a more robust and high capacity solution was needed. Consequently – in 2022 – Crown Cement placed an order for five 1000C Series (model EH7290 PD-E) E-Cranes to replace the 4 existing machines. Over time these new cranes were installed at multiple locations within the same plant, with commissioning of the last unit being completed by the end of August 2025.

The decision to upgrade from the 700 Series to the higher-capacity 1000C Series driven by limited river frontage, which necessitated maximizing unloading capacity within a constrained area. The original 700 Series E-Cranes were successfully relocated to other Crown Cement plants, where they continue to operate effectively.

As of the latest records, their operational hours are:

Crown Cement 1 – 64,360 hours

Crown Cement 2 – 69,130 hours

Both the newly installed 1000C Series E-Cranes as well as the relocated 700 Series cranes are currently functioning efficiently, playing a vital role in supporting Crown Cement’s ongoing operations.

Designed specifically for barge and ship unloading, E?Crane is a proven and trusted solution in many bulk material handling industries. Most dedicated systems for offloading coal, limestone and other bulk materials are costly, inflexible and require an expensive, hard to maintain infrastructure. The versatile, flexible E?Crane is just the opposite. E?Crane’s modular design and custom solutions make it the ideal equipment for any bulk handling application.
