Principles of operation
|
|
|
Weighing the paste into a batch for one block; Discharging the paste from the hopper scale into the mould box.
|
 |
Withdrawing the cover weight and the mould box. |
|
Placing the cover weight onto the paste; Compacting the paste into a dense block. |
|
|
Transferring the mould box to the vibrocompacting station |
|
Ejecting the anode out of the vibrocompactor |
In the vibrocompactor, a batch of carbon paste composed of a pitch binder with an aggregate of particles and dust is contained in an anode mould. This mould is subjected to strong vertical vibrations. During the vibration process, a weight load is put onto the paste batch providing the compaction of the paste to a dense block. This process is enhanced by the application of vacuum to the mould. In order to meet the individual requirements of customers with regard to dimensions, shape and weight of carbon blocks, as well as output in blocks per hour, we offer different types of vibrocompactors for green anodes, cathode blocks and electrodes.
