DEVICE FOR LOADING FLUORINE SALTS TO ALUMINUM ELECTROLYZER Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: devices for loading fluorine salts to aluminum electrolyzers. SUBSTANCE: device has self-propelled chassis carrying bin for fluorine salts with unloading chute and gate and batcher in the form of lever-plunger system with vessel for weighing, and pressure gage calibrated by weight. Lever is made in the form of rocker whose one end carries suspended vessel, while the other end leans against plunger connected by means of pressure hose with pressure gage. Mechanism for unloading of salts is made in the form of sector gate connected with trough and hydraulic cylinder for their simultaneous turning. Self-propelled chassis may be used in the form of machine for unloading of alumina. Provision of weight batching of fluorine salts prior to their loading into alumina electrolyzers that makes it possible to use salts with different densities without readjustment of the device. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 2 cl, 2 dwg
