Anode/Rod Mating and Iron Pouring

Outotec's Anode / Rod Mating Stations are designed to accurately and reliably mate new baked anodes to prepared rods.

Our latest systems are designed to position the stubs, rod and anode to a high degree of tolerance which exceeds current potroom technology specifications. The systems are adaptable to various stub and anode configurations. Synchronized anode and rod drive mechanisms ensure accurate and consistent assembly. Options include walking beam or roller conveyor for anode transport. Systems can be designed for indexed or continuous assembly motion for manual or semi-automatic iron pouring.

Benefits

  • High productivity with low manpower requirements through automated anode and rod handling
  • Excellent joint integrity and low electrical resistance through more consistent iron pouring operations
  • Accurate mating systems ensure anode positions are more consistent thereby reducing detrimental effects after anode changes
  • Consistent anode position allows for easier anode changes within the pot
