A
plant for producing
metal anodes, in particular for use in an electrolytic tinplate
production line, the
plant comprising - a
melting furnace (1 ) adapted to be loaded with
scrap of said
metal and provided with at least one pouring duct (4) for pouring
molten metal; - a carousel (2), arranged below said
melting furnace (1 ) and provided with a plurality of shell molds (3) arranged radially with respect to an axis of rotation (X) of said carousel (2); wherein said carousel (2) is configured to intermittently rotate so that at each radial rotation step at least one shell mold (3) of said plurality of shell molds stops in a respective
casting position (9) at the corresponding pouring duct (4), and at least one other shell mold (3) stops in an extraction position (10) for the extraction of a solidified
anode; wherein, in the
casting position (9), the shell molds (3) are in an inclined position, at an angle other than zero, with respect to the horizontal so that a first end (5) of the shell mold (3), proximal to the corresponding pouring duct (4), is higher than a second end (6) thereof, opposite the first end (5) and distal from said pouring duct (4); and wherein there is provided an adjustment
system (7, 8) for adjusting the inclination of each shell mold (3) along at least one part of the carousel (2), said adjustment
system being configured to bring each shell mold (3) from said inclined position at the respective
casting position (9) to a horizontal position at the respective extraction position (10), and then back to said inclined position.
