FORMING OF BULK OF ANODE GROUNDERS AND DEVICE TO THIS END Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B29C43/02 B29C70/88 H01M4/04 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to moulding articles from thermoplastic binder and loose materials. Method comprises feed of activator bulk in portions sufficient for forming of separate activator. Bulk portion is compacted and formed around cylinder-shape central electrode by vibrations in stiff conducting shell. Compaction and forming is performed, first, in vertical forming pipe. Then, it is made in the shell continuously formed by winding conducting paper on forming pipe and pulling therefrom by displacement of formed activator cylinder. Formed activator in said shell is cooled to solidification of only bulk surface layer, Then anode grounder is held in vertical position to full solidification of activator, outside the device. Proposed device comprises bulk mixing and heating assembly, assembly for feeding said bulk to forming pipe by portions, sealing and forming assembly, shell orbital winding mechanism, refrigerator, system for control and permanent feed rate drive.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of forming, simplified design, lower labour input.
