Anode forming

Reliable and long-lasting equipment

Typical flow sheet with Twin-Type Vibrocompactor

We are the world leading supplier of vibrocompactors for forming of green anodes, cathode blocks and electrodes. This propiertary equipment has been continuously developed and improved to stay at the leading edge of technology to better serve our customers with reliable and long-lasting equipment. Different machine types can be offered according to customer specific requirements in order to achieve best anode quality.

The following types are available:

Link Sliding table vibrocompactors >>
Link Turntable vibrocompactors >>
Link Special types:

  • Twin-type sliding table vibrocompactors
  • Special designs for compaction of multiple anodes in one cycle
  • Travelling table vibrocompactors for electrodes and cathodes

 

Benefits of high anode forming temperature

Benefits of mixing at high temperature

Benefits of low pitch content

- No paste cooling required if vacuum is used

- Higher probability that grains will slip into their optimum places during forming process

- No formation of pellets during any paste cooling processes

- Higher vibrating efficiency due to low pitch viscosity

- Higher mixing efficiency due to lower pitch viscosity

- Higher mobility of grains due to lower pitch viscosity

- Better wettability of coke grains by pitch

- Better penetration of pitch into open pores

- Lower operational costs due to less pitch consumption

- Lower baking loss causing less porosity
