2 min read
VHE of Iceland supplys a complete range of equipment to ensure the lowest possible electrical resistance in the sealed anode and provide assured mechanical strength.
The VHE semi-automatic casting machine relieves the operator of the repetitive parts of the casting process, while providing manual control over the potentially hazardous operation of pouring molten metal.
The casting machine runs on rail tracks or may be suspended from an overhead gantry. The ladle is lifted up two vertically mounted curved guide-rails, and is tilted to the pouring position with absolute stability. The operator, sitting in an air-conditioned cab attached to the machine, has an unobstructed view of the casting operation from a position which remains constant relative to the pouring spout.
Automation is provided by the use of encoders and frequency controlled drives. The operator is able to index the machine in various positions, "memorising" the pouring cycle for automatic repetition.
Velaverkstaedi Hjalta Einarssonar - VHE is a major mechanical fabricator, offering a comprehensive range of design, manufacturing and site services. VHE now provides all Stimir solutions to the primary aluminium industry, with particular focus on the Rodding Plant. All aspects of design and fabrication are undertaken at VHE's own facilities, ensuring total quality control and on-time delivery.
