MACHINE FOR TRANSPORTATION AND METERED LOADING OF BULK MATERIALS INTO THE ELECTROLYZER Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC C25C3/14 

FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a machine for transporting and metered loading of bulk materials into an electrolyzer for aluminum production, equipped with side hoppers for automatic alumina supply (AAS) for technological maintenance of electrolyzers for aluminum production by the electrolytic method. The machine contains a hopper mounted on a self-propelled chassis with a cab, a feeder installed in the front of the hopper and a unit for metered loading of raw materials into the AAS hopper, made in the form of an unloading auger with an unloading basket, installed with the possibility of rotation relative to the feeder in the horizontal plane and swing in the vertical plane and in the transport position directed forward by the unloading basket, along the side wall of the cabin, the unloading auger is made in two tiers in the form of screw augers connected in series through the bulk chamber, where an external screw auger has a built-in speed sensor with the possibility of programming from the cab by a speed counter of the dose of loading raw materials.

EFFECT: high dosing accuracy is ensured when loading raw materials, reducing raw material losses by introducing the necessary dose of raw materials into the electrolyzer and improving the environmental situation.
