FIELD: production of aluminum. SUBSTANCE: distribution of anode mass over anode surface is carried out by sequential loading along anode side by conveyer installed horizontally, by throwing of anode posts into zone of location of central part in turn from two sides with velocity of 260-270 m/min. Self- propelled machine has undercarriage, hopper, elevator and sliding container in the form of thrower mounted in horizontal guides along lateral axis of machine. Thrower is fitted with boards of flexible material intercoupled by spring. Repelling boards are placed at angle of 45-60 deg with reference to longitudinal axis of conveyer-thrower. Belt of thrower is equipped with catches in the form of lateral ribs made from antimagnetic material. Conveyer-thrower is mounted in zone of location of central parts of anode posts . EFFECT: increased uniformity of distribution of anode mass over anode surface, simplified loading process and design of machine, enhanced productivity of machine. 10 cl, 4 dwg
