Electrolytic aluminum industry technology Q&A

Author:


The electrolytic aluminum industry is a large industrial chain, covering a wide range of technical knowledge systems and mechanical operations, and people are always improving to optimize its functional requirements, while new technologies are constantly being updated. Towards the development trend of mechanical automation and intelligence, we are constantly striving to reduce the maximum labor and achieve the maximum efficiency.

The electrolytic aluminum industry is a large industrial chain, covering a wide range of technical knowledge systems and mechanical operations, and people are always improving to optimize its functional requirements, while new technologies are constantly being updated. Towards the development trend of mechanical automation and intelligence, we are constantly striving to reduce the maximum labor and achieve the maximum efficiency.

The output of any product, especially in the manufacturing industry, is the collection of materials, processing, operation, and post-processing, and the final formation of the product. Each link is supported by many technologies, while there will be more problems waiting for us to solve. First of all, as an aluminum industry player, you need to understand the principle and operation.

In terms of raw material supply, the first thing to solve in electrolytic aluminum is the energy problem, i.e. the supply of electricity, followed by the transport of alumina, and each detail step contains various mechanical equipment.

Alumina is mainly sent to the electrolyzer bins for electrolysis production through pneumatic conveying. The main pneumatic conveying methods are concentrated phase conveying, super-concentrated phase conveying, dilute phase conveying and inclined trough conveying.

There are many conveying methods here, but there are some specific differences. Dense phase conveying device is widely used for long-distance conveying of powdered granular materials. And super dense phase conveying is only suitable for long distance horizontal conveying of powdery materials. It can make the material fluidized and is more commonly used. There are also eliminated the early use of dilute phase conveying method. There are also inclined trough conveying.

Among the many ways of conveying, although the technology varies, most of them are pipeline conveying materials to achieve the supply of raw materials. A big potential problem with pipeline conveying is blockage and pipe bursting, which is the most common problem.

Then, the early establishment of service valves, as well as pressure testing to determine the location and early intelligent monitoring can allow efficient, smooth and safe operation of the thick phase conveying equipment.
