1. Why Acid Pickling Workshops Need Dedicated Lifting & Traction Equipment
In the steel and non-ferrous metals processing industry, acid pickling workshops play a critical role in removing surface scale, rust, and impurities from workpieces — an indispensable step in the entire production flow.

Vertical lifting and horizontal traction of workpieces run through multiple processes, and the operating efficiency and safety of these movements directly determine the overall performance of the pickling production line.

Therefore, pickling workshops demand equipment with the following key characteristics:

• High efficiency, suitable for high-takt-time production
• Long travel distance, meeting requirements for deep tanks and extended traction
• Strong corrosion resistance, adapted to acidic and alkaline environments
• High safety, minimizing accident risks

Conventional general-purpose winches can no longer meet these demands. High efficiency heavy duty electric winches specially designed for pickling environments have become the mainstream upgrade choice in the industry.

2. Main Problems of Traditional Winches in Acid Pickling Workshops

1. Slow lifting speed, seriously restricting pickling efficiency
   Most standard electric winches operate below 50 m/min. In long-travel pickling lifting or cross-bay traction tasks, each cycle takes too long — a major bottleneck for workshop capacity.
2. Limited travel distance, unable to serve large-scale pickling lines
   Traditional models usually have rope capacity under 200 meters. For large workshops or multi-station layouts, frequent intermediate transfers are required, reducing efficiency and increasing operational risks.
3. Prominent safety hazards in pickling environments
   High humidity, strong corrosiveness, and heavy dust make ordinary equipment prone to over-winding and over-travel due to lack of precise limit control and reliable braking.
4. Poor corrosion resistance and short service life
   Motors, gearboxes, and electrical components without special protection corrode quickly in acid mist, resulting in high failure rates and expensive maintenance.

3. Application Advantages of High Efficiency Heavy Duty Electric Winches in Pickling Workshops

1. High-speed operation dramatically improves pickling productivity
   Advanced models achieve line speeds up to 120 m/min — more than double the efficiency of conventional equipment — perfectly suited for long-travel, high-frequency lifting and traction tasks.
2. Long-travel design matches complex pickling process flows
   With extended drum structures, high capacity electric winches offer rope capacities up to 500 meters, enabling single-pass deep-tank lifting and long-distance traction while eliminating intermediate handling.
3. Corrosion-resistant structure purpose-built for pickling environments
   Full-machine anti-corrosion coatings combined with sealed protection for critical electrical and transmission components effectively resist acid mist, moisture, and dust.
4. Multiple safety features ensure reliable operation
   Equipped with variable frequency braking systems + mechanical travel limiters for smooth start/stop and precise control, preventing over-travel and enhancing overall job safety.
