Abstract (en)

[origin: US2005211552A1] A tending module ( 7 ) for a series of electrolytic cells ( 2 ) to be used for the production of aluminum by fused bath electrolysis including a frame ( 8 ) that can be fixed to a trolley ( 6 ) and a turret ( 9 ) fitted on the frame ( 8 ) so as to pivot about a vertical axis A, and equipped with a set of tools including a crust breaker ( 11 ), a bucket shovel ( 12 ), at least one first anode clamp ( 13 ) and a hopper ( 15 ) fitted with a retractable duct ( 16 ), and a balcony or a cab ( 18 ) having controls that will be used to maneuver the module and the tools, and a control station ( 19 ) from which an operator can actuate the controls. The module according to the invention is characterized in that, taking a first plane P 1 and a second plane P 2 perpendicular to each other and to the turret ( 9 ) plane Pt and intersecting on the A axis, the center C of the control station ( 19 ) is located at a determined distance C 1 from plane P 1 and a determined distance C 2 from plane P 2 , the center of the bucket shovel ( 12 ) and the center of the first anode clamp ( 13 ) are located on the opposite side of the plane P 1 from the control station ( 19 ), and the crust breaker ( 11 ) and the retractable duct ( 16 ) are located between the control station ( 19 ) and the row formed by the bucket shovel ( 12 ) and the first anode clamp ( 13 ).
