Wind tower production line is a specialized manufacturing system designed to produce the tall, cylindrical towers that support wind turbines. These towers are critical components of wind energy systems, providing the necessary height and stability for the turbines to capture wind energy effectively. A well-organized production line ensures efficient, high-quality, and cost-effective manufacturing of wind towers.

Key Components of China Wind Tower Production Line

Plate Preparation:

Cutting: Plates of steel are cut to the required dimensions using CNC cutting machines for precision.

Edge Preparation: The edges of the plates are beveled to prepare for welding, ensuring strong joints.

Rolling:

Plate Rolling Machine: The prepared steel plates are rolled into cylindrical or conical shapes using heavy-duty plate rolling machines.

Welding Seams: The edges of the rolled plates are welded together to form a complete cylindrical section.

Fit-Up and Tack Welding:

Fit-Up Systems: Automated or semi-automated systems align the cylindrical sections precisely.

Tack Welding: Small welds, called tack welds, are used to hold the sections together temporarily before full welding.

Full Welding:

Submerged Arc Welding (SAW): A common method used for the full welding of the seams, providing strong and high-quality welds.

Inspection and Testing: Welds are inspected using non-destructive testing methods to ensure they meet quality standards.

Flange Welding:

Flange Attachment: Flanges are welded to the ends of the tower sections. These flanges are used to bolt the sections together and to attach the tower to the turbine and the foundation.

Surface Treatment:

Shot Blasting: The surface of the tower sections is cleaned using shot blasting to remove rust and scale.

Coating: The sections are coated with protective paint to prevent corrosion and extend the tower's lifespan.

Assembly and Welding of Sections:

Section Assembly: The cylindrical sections are assembled into larger sections, typically in segments that can be easily transported.

Final Welding: Additional welding may be performed to ensure the sections are securely joined.

Final Inspection and Quality Control:

Dimensional Inspection: Ensuring the tower sections meet the specified dimensions and tolerances.

Quality Control: Final inspection of the welds, coatings, and overall quality of the tower sections.

Logistics and Transport:

Packaging: The tower sections are prepared for transport, which may include additional protective measures.

Transportation: The sections are transported to the wind farm site, where they will be assembled and erected.
