Crust Breaker And Ore Dispenser
View pageUS Patent:
20090308625, Dec 17, 2009
Filed:
Jun 13, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/138462
Inventors:
Peter C. Massaro - Syracuse NY, US
Michael F. Carno - Baldwinsville NY, US
Michael F. Carno - Baldwinsville NY, US
International Classification:
B23Q 5/00
US Classification:
173 46
Abstract:
A crust breaker and ore feeder device for electrolytic aluminum smelting employs an in-line three-position pneumatic cylinder capable of moving the plunger shaft to a fully raised position, to a fully lowered position, and to an intermediate, partly lowered position. The full stroke is used for a conventional combined ore dispensing and a crust breaking operation; a partial stroke between the fully raised position and the intermediate position permits ore dispensing without a crust breaking; and a partial stroke between the intermediate position and the fully lowered position permits crust breaking operation without ore feeding. The cylinder can take form of a tandem cylinder having upper and lower axially aligned cylinder portions, with rods not connected to one another.

Filed:

Appl. No.:
14/568224
Inventors:
Lucille A. Massaro - Syracuse NY, US
Michael F. Carno - Syracuse NY, US
Michael F. Carno - Syracuse NY, US
Assignee:
CONTROL AUTOMATION LLC - Syracuse NY
International Classification:
C25C 7/00
Abstract:
A crust breaker and ore feeder device for electrolytic aluminum smelting employs an in-line three-position pneumatic cylinder capable of moving the plunger shaft between a raised position and a fully lowered position. A dose meter in the form of a cylindrical member rests a small distance above the valve seat of the crust breaker. In the raised position the dose meter fits within the dosing cup and receives the dose of alumina. In the lowered position of the crust breaker, the dose meter slows down the flow of alumina into the electrolytic liquid, with the alumina flowing out through cutouts formed in the lower rim of the dose meter.
