China's aluminum equipment intelligent press the start button

According to the bulk non-ferrous net reprint: handheld remote control, easy to get aluminum electrolytic bus lifting operations. The “Fully Automatic Anode Bus Lifting Device for Aluminum Electrolysis” co-developed by Zhengzhou Jiuda Technology Co., Ltd., Shandong Xinfa Group Xinyuan Aluminum Co., Ltd. and Hunan Zhongda Metallurgical Design Co., Ltd. passed through China Nonferrous Metals on June 26 in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. The Association for the Evaluation of Scientific and Technological Achievements of the "Automatic Anode Bus Lifting Frame Development and Industrial Application for Aluminum Electrolysis" organized by the Metal Industry Association.

According to reports, due to process reasons, the busbar frame transfer lifting operation in the aluminum electrolysis process takes place approximately 20 days. In the past, this task was completed by a dedicated operator. Workers used wrenches to operate the parts, which was time-consuming and potentially dangerous. The expert evaluation of the fully automatic anode bus frame lifting device, for the first time, the functions of loosening and tightening the small box fixtures are creatively integrated in the bus lifting device to realize the mechanization and automation of the whole process of the bus bar lifting operation, and at the same time the air-lift The mechanism holds the anode guide rods on the busbars to replace the venting and holding mechanism of the existing conventional busbar lifting frame, greatly improving the efficiency and quality of the busbar operation, eliminating potential safety hazards, reducing power consumption and labor consumption, and reducing the electrolytic aluminum enterprises. This efficiency gain will have historic significance if it is to escape the predicament.

The automatic bus lifting device is industrially applied in Xinfa Group's Xinyuan Aluminum Co., Ltd. and Chongqing Jinghongyuan Aluminum Co., Ltd. With good technical reproducibility and high maturity. According to calculations, after using the automatic bus lifting device, the number of operators has been reduced by more than half, and the operation time has been reduced from 15 to 20 minutes to 6 to 7 minutes, significantly improving labor efficiency; at 240kA (400,000 tons/year) electrolysis series The application of the annual power saving of 8.9 million kWh, improve labor productivity and the safety of electrolysis series operation, with significant economic and social benefits.

The expert evaluation team concluded that the integrated automatic anode bus lifting device has reached the international advanced level in terms of overall technology, promoted the automation of operation and equipment intelligence in China's aluminum electrolysis industry, significantly improved labor efficiency, and promoted technological progress in the aluminum industry for aluminum electrolysis. The development of technology provides technical support and it is recommended to speed up the promotion and application.

Wang Xuying, chairman of the equipment manufacturing company Jiuda Technology, said in an interview with reporters that as the equipment manufacturing base of the Hunan University of Metallurgical Design Institute, the company has long been committed to the research and development and export of high-end aluminum equipment. This time the automatic bus lifting device can Recognized by experts, it injects new impetus into the company's future research and development work, and enhances the company's confidence to take the road of promoting China's aluminum equipment intelligence.

According to Liang Xuemin, dean of the Hunan University of Metallurgical Design Institute and deputy director of the National Key Engineering Laboratory for Highly Efficient Utilization of Metal Resources at the Central South University, Xue Yang Li told reporters that in recent years, the rising cost of labor and safety and environmental protection have plagued the electrolytic aluminum industry. Meanwhile, with the China's large-capacity, large-capacity aluminum electrolyzer technology is new, lacks advanced production and operation technologies and auxiliary process equipment to match it, and many processes still remain at the level of artificiality, with high operating costs and many hidden dangers. "That is to say, as the core equipment for aluminum production, China's electrolyzer technology is leading internationally, but too few advanced equipments to serve electrolyzers. Electrosurgical equipment intelligence is particularly important." He said.

Zhang Hongguo, deputy secretary-general of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association and director of the Ministry of Science and Technology presided over the evaluation meeting. Nie Qingren, deputy general manager of Ningxia Qingtongxia Energy Aluminum Industry Group Co., Ltd., Liu Haishi, deputy general manager of Inner Mongolia Jinlian Aluminum Materials Co., Ltd., and Zhongzuo Jiaozuo Wanfang The Deputy General Manager of Aluminum Industry Co., Ltd. Wang Shaopeng and other experts attended the evaluation meeting.
