Emirates Aluminium (Emal) and ECL France joined together to celebrate the installation of the first Pot Tending Machine (PTM) for the project’s Phase II expansion.
The PTM is one of fifteen such machines that will operate on the new potline at Emal, which, once completed, will be the longest single potline in the world at 1.7 kilometers.
The PTM is designed to increase performance in terms of safety, productivity and reliability as well as reducing environmental impact. The machine also has complete wireless controls that allow the operators to handle almost 100 per cent of the crane function in the pot room. As part of the Phase II development plans, ECL has supplied Emal with equipment for the potroom comprising of 15 PTMs, 2 transfer gantries, 1 cathode transport crane, 2 lifting beams, 16,200 anode clamps and pair of J-hooks for activities connected with the operation of reduction cell.
