Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010031919A1] The invention relates to a service machine (3) for a series of electrolysis cells (2) for the production of aluminium by igneous electrolysis, which includes: a) a bridge crane (4) capable of translation above said electrolysis cells; a tool-bearing carriage (6) on which is attached a service module including tools (10); c) a casting winch (13) connected to said bridge crane and for gripping and positioning near the cell (2) a casting assembly including a ladle (40), a casting tube (41) and a pressure reduction device; and an independent device (50, 50') capable of generating pressurised air. The machine is characterised in that the pressurised air generating device includes a first compressor (50) capable of supplying a pressurised air flow at least equal to the minimum air flow required for operations other than casting, and at least a second compressor (50') arranged so that, when operating simultaneously with the first compressor, the assembly supplies a pressurised air flow at least equal to the minimum air flow required for casting.
