Smelters use a ring furnace to make pre-baked anodes. The ovens are arranged in a ring shape, for continuous a cycle of filling the oven chamber, preheating the chamber, firing the chamber, cooling the chamber and removing the baked anodes from the chamber. The furnace flues allow the firing frames to be Leap Frog-ed over one another, past a newly filled oven chamber, starting it into the cycle. The draft/cooling frames follow, leapfrog over chambers that have finished firing and starting the cooling cycle.When all the frames are past, the chamber is emptied and reloaded for the next time the frames come around. In this case you move the firing and draft equipment around the furnace and the product remains stationary.

To build a ring furnace and related pollution control equipment will be costly. Your parts so small and the required cycle so similar, maybe you could rent space at a smelter ring furnace. They have the whole process under control and you could bake dozens of pieces in the space of just one anode. You could run batches of parts to meet your needs without the investment. You will have enough to do building the grinding, classifying and mixing plant, as well as a press to form the parts, without worrying about a furnace. I have worked in engineering for a primary smelter so I know about what you are looking for.

Thankyou.

Hi,

Sorry,I have no experience on furnace.

But further your question regarding mixing equipment, some of us aswered with solution and manufacturer adress.

Did you find a solution?

Do you need additional help?
