ALUMINUM PRODUCTION PLANT BY IGNEE ELECTROLYSIS

摘要

The subject of the invention is an electrolysis installation, intended for the production of aluminum by igneous electrolysis, comprising a hall (1), a plurality of electrolysis cells (2) arranged in a row inside the hall, a traffic lane (15) parallel to said row of cells and located inside the hall, and at least a first mobile lifting and handling unit (8), resting on a first raceway (14) parallel to the main axis of the line and able to be moved above said line of cells on said first raceway, and characterized in that it further comprises at least a second mobile lifting and handling unit (20 ), and a second raceway (21) parallel to the main axis of the queue and independent of the first raceway, in that said second unit (20) rests on said second raceway and is able to be moved , below said pre first unit (8), along said row of electrolytic cells, on said second raceway, so that the two lifting and handling units can be moved independently, and in that said second unit ( 20) is capable of lifting and handling pockets of liquid metal and / or pockets of liquid bath (40).
