Multifunctional baking crane is a special crane for the process line that serves the anode carbon block roasting process, and is also a special operation equipment for the anode carbon block roaster.
This crane is a multi-purpose bridge crane for anode baking in carbon plant, which is designed with suction system, dust purification system, anode carbon block clamp. It is a special equipment for the production of electrolytic aluminum anode carbon block.
The roasting multi-function crane refers to a dedicated crane with a vacuum material conveying system, a dust removal and cooling system, and an anode carbon block clamp device.
Anode Baking Furnace Multi-Functional Crane (FTM)
A specialized overhead crane for carbon anode handling in aluminum electrolysis production
1. Purpose & Key Technical Parameters
1.1 Functions:
Loading: Places raw (unbaked) anode blocks into baking furnace pits.
Filling: Distributes granular coke (0.8–5mm) into gaps between anodes and furnace walls, then covers the top layer.
Vacuum Extraction: Removes filler material from the furnace and transfers it to storage silos (capacity: 30/40/65 t/h).
Unloading: Extracts baked anodes ("finished blocks") and delivers them to conveyors or designated areas.
Auxiliary Lifting: Supports other workshop handling tasks.
1.2 Technical Specifications:
Anode Clamp Capacity: 2×6t (or equivalent to 14 anode blocks).
Filler Coke Conditions:
Granule size: 0.8–5mm
Temperature resistance: ~450°C (short-term 600°C).
Duty Class: A8 (suitable for continuous heavy-duty operation).
2. Product Structure
The FTM crane features modular designs, with variations primarily in the anode clamp mechanism (integrated on the tool trolley or standalone). Key components include:
Electrical drive & control system
Tool trolley (modular layout for seamless operation)
Bridge girder (high-strength Q355B steel, compact design)
Crane travel mechanisms (3-in-1 geared motors, high-load wheels)
Hoist unit
