CARRIAGE AND MACHINE FOR OPERATING A FURNACE IN AN ANODE FIRING FACILITY

摘要

The invention relates to a carriage (20) which makes it possible to operate a furnace (3) comprising longitudinal cavities arranged next to one another in a transverse direction (Y) with a constant centre to centre distance (d). The carriage which can move according in transverse direction above the cavities has a median longitudinal plane (P). The carriage comprises at least first and second tools (23 30) of a single first type arranged such as to be inserted each into one cavity such as to perform a single first function and each having a vertical axis (24 31) said axes being transversely separated by a distance (B) equal to the centre to centre distance (d) of the cavities. Said axes are arranged substantially symmetrically relative to the median longitudinal plane (P) of the carriage and define therebetween a substantially longitudinal central corridor (50) on the carriage.
