Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a carbon product forming device, belonging to the technical field of pre-baked anode production for aluminum. Background Art
[0002] Prebaked anodes for aluminum are gradually developing towards environmentally friendly, energy-saving and high-quality types, and the aluminum reduction cell has gradually increased from 300KA to the current 600KA. The quality and specifications of aluminum anodes are required to be further improved to adapt to the upgrading and transformation of large-scale new aluminum reduction cells and ensure stable operation. In this way, the key indicator of aluminum anode quality, "volume density", needs to be improved and stabilized at 1.59-1.62g / cubic centimeter. The volume density required by the YS / T285-2022 standard is not less than 1.56g / cubic centimeter; in particular, anodes exported to European and American manufacturers clearly require a volume density of 1.60-1.62g / cubic centimeter.
