Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sacrificial anode production technology, specifically to a sacrificial anode casting cooling mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The anode is gradually consumed as the current flows out, hence it is called a sacrificial anode. This type of anode is consumed quickly, and its installation location and method must facilitate replacement. Low-potential metal materials include magnesium, magnesium alloys, pure zinc, zinc alloys, and aluminum alloys. In the process of sacrificial anode casting, cooling after casting is a very important step. To ensure the quality of the finished product, a sacrificial anode casting cooling mechanism is needed to assist in completing this process.

[0003] Traditional sacrificial anode casting cooling mechanisms typically consist of a steel chain conveyor belt that transports the metal into a spray system for cooling. After the spraying process is complete, the cooled sacrificial anode metal is removed from the other end of the conveyor belt.
