ANODE STUB CLEANER

Storvik Anode stub cleaner performs cleaning of anode stubs and yoke in the anode service shop prior to rodding or eventually repair of stubs. Specially the stubs are heavily contaminated by fouling of electrolytic bath.

The stubs need thorough cleaning prior to welding of stubs as well as rodding for a new cycle in electrolysis. Fouling of bath influence on welding process in eventual repair and reduces electric conductivity. This results in voltage drop and reduced productions in the electrolysis.

Compared with sandblasting the dust and noise impact will be reduced and contributes to an improved HSE.

The Storvik Anode stub cleaner is a favourable alternative to sandblasting due to reduced operational and investment costs, i.e. reduced OPEX– and CAPEX.
