CONVEYOR SYSTEM
The Anode Casting System is an advanced conveyor system specifically engineered to provide precise control over ingot casting volumes and poured products. In e-waste recycling facilities, the electrolysis method is employed to separate precious metals and copper. To support this process, Proses Makina’s engineering team has developed a customized conveyor system designed to seamlessly deliver materials to the electrolysis units.
The conveyor system incorporates specially designed anode molds and a robotic arm that automatically retrieves the filled molds from the conveyor line. Anode mold dimensions can be tailored to specific customer requirements. Casting operations can be performed directly from the rotary furnace or, when available, from an auxiliary casting furnace. Strategic placement of heating torches along the conveyor prevents premature cooling of the molten material, ensuring optimal flow and surface quality.
Proses Makina’s casting and conveyor systems offer a comprehensive range of technical advantages, including:
Tailor-made anode molds designed for the capacity and specifications of the electrolysis units.
Integrated gas and electric heating units.
Solutions suitable for high-tonnage, mass production operations.
A pneumatic safety system fully integrated into the conveyor line.
Hydraulic or electric drive options.
Low maintenance requirements.
CE certification for compliance with international safety and quality standards.
High-quality anode surfaces free from protrusions, fins, and cracks are essential for superior electrolysis performance. Anode quality depends on three key factors: equipment design, operational parameters, and material properties. With Proses Makina’s precision casting solutions, a continuous and homogeneous anode thickness is maintained through controlled pouring speed and optimized impeller movement. Defects are minimized, ensuring high-yield, consistent production output.
The entire process is controlled via a PLC-based automation system. Once an anode mold is filled, the conveyor automatically advances, positioning an empty mold for the next casting cycle. After cooling to the required temperature, the molds are efficiently removed by the robotic arm and transferred to the electrolysis section.
