Embodiment Construction

[0039] The apparatus shown in the figures and described in more detail below is an apparatus for casting copper anodes in an anode casting plant where the metal is copper and the molten metal is molten copper. Alternatively, the apparatus may be an apparatus for casting zinc anodes in an anode casting plant, wherein the metal is zinc and the molten metal is molten zinc.

[0040] The figure shows part of an anode casting plant for casting copper anodes (not shown).

[0041] The anode casting plant comprises an anode furnace 2 which is tiltable relative to the tilt axis 1 and which is used for melting copper. The anode furnace 2 includes casting holes 3 for feeding molten copper 27 from the anode furnace 2 .

[0042] Figure 1-5 The anode casting apparatus shown in includes an anode furnace 2, Figure 6-9 The anode casting plant shown in includes two anode furnaces 2 .

[0043] In addition, the anode casting equipment includes an anode casting mold 4 for casting copper anode...

Abstract

The invention relates to an arrangement for casting metal anodes, comprising a tiltable anode furnace (2). The anode furnace (2) is provided with a casting hole (3). The arrangement includes a chute support frame (9) for supporting a chute (7), and a support structure ( 10) for supporting the chute support frame (9). The chute support frame (9) is movably connected to the support structure (10) by a first lever arm (11), so that the upstream end (29) of the chute (7) is during the tilting motion of the anode furnace (2) placed at the casting hole (3) of the anode furnace (2). The chute support frame (9) is movably connected to the support structure ( 10), so that the downstream end (30) of the chute (7) is during the tilting motion of the anode furnace (2) placed at the trough (8; 8a; 8b). It also is provided with a tracking arrangement ( 15) for guiding the chute support frame (9) during the tilting motion of the anode furnace (2) with respect to the support structure (10), so that the upstream end (29) of the chute (7) is during the tilting motion of the anode furnace (2) placed at the casting hole (3) of the anode furnace (2), and so that the downstream end (30) of the chute (7) is during the tilting motion of the anode furnace (2) placed at the trough (8; 8a; 8b).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for casting metal anodes in an anode casting plant according to the preamble of claim 1 . [0002] More specifically, the present invention relates to a guiding system for guiding molten metal from an anode furnace to an anode casting mold in which a metal anode is cast to be further processed in an electrorefining process. [0003] The invention relates in particular to the casting of copper anodes in an anode casting plant which are to be further processed in an electrorefining process, but the invention can also be used to cast metal anodes of other metals, such as zinc anodes of zinc. Background technique [0004] Copper processing includes steps in which blister copper is cast in a casting device to form copper anodes for the electrolytic purification of copper. Copper is directed and dosed from the melting furnace to the anode casting mold by a system comprising chutes and grooves. The chutes, the shell of whic...
