BRM Anode bath removal mill

brmThe new and unique BRM bath removal mill was developed to meet higher standards in the rodding plant. Our customers adressed a need for a technology that could increase productivity, reduce down-time to zero and reduce operation cost. Aftera about a year and a half in operation at Europes largest smelter the Hydro Aluminium Sunndal plant, the BRM has proven to be the solution for a tough anode rodding environment. Sixty used anodes per hour can be pushed through the BRM.

Normally the butts cleaning starts with a pair of hydraulic “jaws” forcing the bath apart from the anode remnants (butts). This method can give large pieces of bath causing problems downstream in the bath processing line. Further these hydraulic “jaws” can cause loosing of the anode rest into the downstream bath processing line. The BRM gives the cleaning process a better performance. Two highly powered cutter heads removes the bath layer in a combined shearing and tearing process on both sides of the anode studs. This method gives reduced size of the largest pieces while at the same time the mill avoids producing fine grain fraction due to the special cutter head design and the mill performance. The anode remnants(butts) loss is reduced substantially by this milling process compared to a conventional cleaning process. A suction arrangement combined with a closed milling process chamber gives a process with almost no dust contamination to the surroundings. Noise and vibration are at an acceptable level. The arrangement is economically and technical highly competitive to the conventional process equipment.

In addition to the BRM Heggset Engineering has recently developed the BRJ stub cleaner(for removing bath between studs) and the BRC chain cleaner. Together these three products will provide a complete, automatic bath removal line before sand blasting.
