The Multifunctional Baking Crane is a specialized overhead crane designed specifically for the anode carbon block roasting process line. This purpose-built equipment serves as a key component in anode baking operations within carbon plants, integrating a vacuum suction system, dust purification system, and specialized anode carbon block clamping mechanisms.
A dedicated overhead handling solution for carbon anode processing in aluminum electrolysis production, featuring integrated material conveying, dust control, and precision clamping systems.
Application Scope & Technical Parameters
Core Functions:
Loading Operation: Positioning and placing raw, unbaked anode blocks into baking furnace pits
Filling Process: Distributing granular coke (0.8–5mm) into spaces between anodes and furnace walls, followed by top layer covering
Material Extraction: Vacuum-based removal of filler material from furnace chambers with transfer to storage silos (capacity: 30/40/65 t/h)
Unloading Process: Extraction of finished baked anodes and transportation to conveyor systems or storage areas
Auxiliary Operations: Supporting additional material handling requirements within the workshop
Technical Specifications:
Anode Clamping Capacity: 2×6t (equivalent to handling 14 anode blocks simultaneously)
Filler Coke Specifications:
Particle size range: 0.8–5mm
Operating temperature tolerance: ~450°C (short-term exposure to 600°C)
Duty Classification: A8 (engineered for continuous heavy-duty operation cycles)
Structural Configuration
The FTM crane employs a modular design approach, with primary variations in anode clamping mechanisms (integrated tool trolley or independent configurations). Major components include:
Electrically driven control and power systems
Modular tool trolley (optimized for seamless process integration)
Bridge girder assembly (high-strength Q355B steel with compact geometry)
Travel mechanisms (3-in-1 geared motor units with high-capacity load wheels)
Hoisting and lifting assemblies
