1968/69 as the KALDO plant

KALDO was a prosses to make steel out of iron by injecting oxo in to molten iron in a rotating furnace.

If you remember the Wellman cranes were rated at 70T ladle lift or 170T vestle lift. 340T minus the linking beam weight. The 2 cranes would be linked together to do a tandem lift aided by warping capstens on the shop floor. One of the capstens was still there at the close, it was on the NE corner of the main shop.

As to when it was converted to CMP I don't know.

KALDO was a total disaster due to lack of investment, the Germans got it to work!

PS go to MAGNA in Shefield.

It's now a teaching centre, history of the steel industry.

Last time I went there it was taken over as a RAVE PARTY Shocked
My birthday party! 1200 stoned idiots, it was fun Very Happy

They wouldn't let me loose with the 350T Wellman crane Twisted Evil

How did they get the Wellman cranes down?

They weigh 180 tonnes each!

I'd have just driven them off the end of the track, but I don't think the HSE would have appoved

Thats how I took a 7.5T grab crane down in Buxton, it was fun. I'd got just 2 days to demolish the old crane and install the new. Very Happy

they just snipped half the gantry down and the massive crane they got similar to the one what snipped wembley towers pushed them off, the whole ground shook,all they done this week is digging up the concrete around the conveyor and pulled half the conveyor down
