Multifunctional baking crane is a special crane for the process line that serves the anode carbon block roasting process, and is also a special operation equipment for the anode carbon block roaster.

  This crane is a multi-purpose bridge crane for anode baking in carbon plant, which is designed with suction system, dust purification system, anode carbon block clamp. It is a special equipment for the production of electrolytic aluminum anode carbon block.

   The roasting multi-function crane refers to a dedicated crane with a vacuum material conveying system, a dust removal and cooling system, and an anode carbon block clamp device.

Anode Baking Furnace Multi-Functional Crane (FTM)

A specialized overhead crane for carbon anode handling in aluminum electrolysis production

1. Purpose & Key Technical Parameters

1.1 Functions:

• Loading: Places raw (unbaked) anode blocks into baking furnace pits.

• Filling: Distributes granular coke (0.8–5mm) into gaps between anodes and furnace walls, then covers the top layer.

• Vacuum Extraction: Removes filler material from the furnace and transfers it to storage silos (capacity: 30/40/65 t/h).

• Unloading: Extracts baked anodes ("finished blocks") and delivers them to conveyors or designated areas.

• Auxiliary Lifting: Supports other workshop handling tasks.

1.2 Technical Specifications:

• Anode Clamp Capacity: 2×6t (or equivalent to 14 anode blocks).

• Filler Coke Conditions:

• Granule size: 0.8–5mm

• Temperature resistance: ~450°C (short-term 600°C).

• Duty Class: A8 (suitable for continuous heavy-duty operation).

2. Product Structure

The FTM crane features modular designs, with variations primarily in the anode clamp mechanism (integrated on the tool trolley or standalone). Key components include:

• Electrical drive & control system

• Tool trolley (modular layout for seamless operation)

• Bridge girder (high-strength Q355B steel, compact design)

• Crane travel mechanisms (3-in-1 geared motors, high-load wheels)

• Hoist unit

3. Core Advantages

3.1 Compact & Robust

• Space-saving structure with FEM-optimized steel framework.

• Modular subsystems for easy maintenance.

3.2 Multi-Functional Systems

• Vacuum material handling (up to 80 m³/h with reinforced pipelines).

• Cooling & dust control (multi-stage cyclone + bag filtration, emission ≤10mg/m³).

• Anode block transfer & positioning.

• Furnace equipment relocation.

3.3 Smart & Efficient

• PLC-controlled automation (supports semi-/fully automated operation).

• Variable frequency drives for smooth speed adjustment.

• A7-A8 duty class for 24/7 performance.

3.4 Eco-Friendly & Safe

• Dust-free operation with closed-loop material recycling.

• Overload protection and fail-safe braking systems.

3.5 Customizable Designs

• Trolley/lower girder下沉式 configurations to fit workshop layouts.

• 4-wheel per side travel system to reduce wheel load and building costs.

4. Target Industries

• Aluminum smelting (primary application)

• Carbon anode production

• Metallurgical plants

• Mining & raw material processing

The Multi-Functional Baking Crane, or FTM, is specialized equipment for anode baking furnaces. It is mainly used in the aluminum smelting and metal processing industries. Its key application scenarios include handling and transporting anode carbon blocks in anode baking furnaces, and using the vacuum material conveying system for efficient material transfer.
