Sinopec Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Company (hereinafter referred to as “ZRCC”) is a key refining & chemical enterprise under Sinopec, which is located in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. Formerly known as Zhejiang Refinery founded in 1975, ZRCC was restructured into Zhenhai Refining and Chemical Co., Ltd. and became listed on Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 1994.
At present, ZRCC is featured with a comprehensive crude oil processing capacity of 27million tons/year, ethylene capacity of 2.2 million tons/year, a sea jetty with over 120 million tons of annual handling capacity, a tankage of over 17 million cubic meters, the total assets of nearly 100 billion Yuan, and a total area of 23.1 square kilometers (including the lands for the projects under construction). ZRCC is the largest refining & chemical enterprise with the strongest profitability, most advanced technologies, best management and highest-quality development in Sinopec, and has initially built a “world-class, high-tech and integrated” green petrochemical base.
Zhongding Integration, a subsidiary of Noblelift Group, has gained the trust of ZRCC thanks to its mature technology, manufacturing capability of core equipment and abundant experience in project construction. In 2020, Zhongding Integration joined hands with ZRCC to build an intelligent warehouse in Ningbo.
Overall layout of the project
The racks, totaling 14 units, adopt the built-up type of crossbeams and single deep turning, with the maximum load of 1,000 kg and height of 22.7 meters.
The inbound and outbound conveyor equipment is arranged on one side of the stereoscopic warehouse for inbound and outbound operations at the same time. Each aisle is placed with one stacker crane, and the warehouse entrance is placed with two chain conveyors for the inbound and outbound transfer, which meet inbound and outbound operations of stacker cranes. The inbound and outbound efficiency of a single stacker crane is not less than 40 pallets/hour. It can meet inbound and outbound delivery functions.
