Heavy duty roller conveyor transports anode blocks through this custom designed casting station, where the blocks are mated to rods. Overhead power and free conveyors will transport the rodded anodes to the alumina spray station.

Overhead power and free conveyors feed this automated casting station as anode blocks are mated with rods.
