Combine carbon-block gripping with material suction
The multifunctional suction crane integrates paired carbon-block clamps, suction and material distribution. A large-opening clamp arrangement accommodates different block sizes, addressing the need to handle changing carbon-block dimensions without repeatedly changing gripping parts.
For this type of equipment, the handling-tool geometry and the material functions should be specified together. Block dimensions, pickup surfaces and the suction or distribution task each affect the operating arrangement.
Stack anode blocks with an adjustable clamp
The anode-block stacking crane uses an adjustable combined clamp capable of picking up ten blocks in one operation, with the quantity adjusted for production needs. It serves the carbon-block warehouse as a transfer and storage system.
A buyer should define the block pattern, clearances and storage sequence alongside block mass. The number of blocks per pick does not establish the total lifted weight unless the individual blocks and lifting attachment are included.
Pot-tending functions at the electrolytic cells
The multifunctional pot-tending unit combines crust breaking, anode replacement, residue removal and covering-material handling. Sensor-based height measurement and tightening functions form part of the equipment arrangement.
The automatic anode-change system uses vision recognition to support the sequence at the cell. For procurement, review each required operation and its interfaces with the existing cell, together with operator access and recovery procedures.
Specify each process position separately
Send block drawings, warehouse layout and the cell-handling sequence with an aluminium lifting enquiry. Identify which functions belong to carbon preparation, block storage and pot tending so the offer covers the actual production flow.
