The Engineering Giant: 350-Ton Ultra-Heavy Duty Turntable

Client: Calgon Carbon Company (United States)
Diameter: 8.5 Meters (28 Feet)
Load Capacity: 350 Tons (Total operational load 326T)
Application: Industrial Acid Tank Rotation
Mechanism: Patented Pin-Gear Drive with Inclined Support Wheels

Mastering Extreme Loads with Pin-Gear Technology

How do you rotate the weight of two Blue Whales with precision? For the Calgon Carbon Company in the USA, Shenyang Weizhong engineered a specialized 8.5-meter rotary platform designed to carry ten massive jars of hydrochloric acid. With each jar weighing 32.6 tons, the system handles a staggering total load of 326 tons.

Operating at a steady speed of 20 minutes per rotation, this turntable utilizes our patented Pin-Gear transmission technology. Unlike traditional gear systems that might fail under such extreme pressure, the pin-tooth design ensures seamless torque transfer and structural integrity. To further stabilize the rotation, we implemented a custom inclined wheel support structure, distributing the immense weight evenly to prevent wear.

With 35 years of specialized experience in turntable design and installation, Weizhong continues to push the boundaries of industrial rotation. From precision research tools to 350-ton heavy-duty giants, we serve global buyers with engineering excellence.
