Uncured anodes are stacked in brick lined pits whose construction creates hollow areas called flues. Burners run in the flues to heat the brick, and consequently bake the anodes, setting the binders to make the anodes suitable for use in electrolytic cells.
Vesuvius has a wide experience in the supply of anode bake furnace refractories covering:
- Dense alumino-silicate firebricks
- Insulation firebricks
- Jointing mortars for dense and insulation bricks
- Dense and light weight castables
- Precast pieces
All Vesuvius products are designed to meet the demanding physical and chemical specification required for a prolonged service life in Anode Bake Furnaces.
