Potroom Equipment for Aluminium Smelters

Potrooms in aluminium smelters house the smelting pots. It is not uncommon for potroom to hold many tens of pots. Pots are typically graphite lined steel furnaces that alumina is fed into. The alumina is then dissolved in moltem cryolite and a high current passed through it. This separates it into aluminium and oxygen, with the aluminium sinking to the bottom where it is tapped off.

Equipment
CSM Instruments ConScan Surface Profilometer
The Conscan objective surface profilometer available from CSM Instruments combines the 3D chromatic confocal technology and the traditional microscopy.
Anode Current Meter for Aluminium Smelters
Measuring current distribution through anodes can often be a difficult undertaking; traditional measuring devices can often be quite cumbersome, time consuming and unnecessarily precise even when the objective is only to take a quick measurement. VHE has designed a new breed of current measurement instruments designed to be easy to operate, lightweight and quick.
Anode Butt Stripping Press for Aluminium Smelters from VHE
VHE's manual butt press is a compact scissor-type spreader designed to work between the yoke and the top of the anode butt. The unit is designed to remove the butt in one operation.
Automatic Collar Forming Machine for Aluminium Smelters from VHE
VHE’s collar filling machine accurately measures and dispenses carbon paste into the preformed collars. The filling system ensures even distribution of the carbon paste and provides a virtually dust-free operation to produce uniformly shaped and centered carbon collars.
Hall Effect Ammeter for Aluminium Smelters from VHE
The VHE Hall Effect Ammeter continues to be in demand by those smelters paying increased attention to pot performance. customers for this particular piece of equipment include three ammeters configured for cathode riser bar measurements to Aluar in Argentina, and one configured for anode rod measurements to a European smelter.
Potroom Insulation Ohmmeter for Aluminium Smelters from VHE
VHE's enhanced ohmmeter is able to measure the electrical resistance between points of different voltage potential. Conventional ohmmeters do not have this capability.
Anode Stub Straightening Systems for Aluminium Smelters from VHE
Historically, smelters often continued to use toed-in stubs until they would no longer fit into the anode, when the bent stubs would be cut off and replacements welded onto the yoke. Today, many smelters accept that the use of a stub straightener has a cost benefit. Straight stubs reduce operational difficulties and improve the stub-carbon volt drop.
Anode and Cathode Recording Ammeters for Aluminium Smelters from VHE
VHE's anode and cathode recording ammeters are designed to measure the d.c. current in cathode riser bars and anode rod stems in alumium smelters and have been redesigned, including an updated display panel incorporating Bluetooth technology. In use, visual and aural prompts cue the operator to press a data button, when the reading is transmitted to a handheld computer running customised software.
