Abstract Scope |
Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) executed a project to enhance basement cleaning process in potlines by designing and manufacturing a new basement cleaning robot with advanced features. Cleaning of accumulated materials in pot cell basement is an everyday task required to improve the pot cell ventilation and pot cell Life. The design involves making of a robust Equipment which can operate in high magnetic Field (455 Gauss), immune against dust and heat and is ideal for congested areas.
The design features a fast-charging option and spare battery bank with transport carrier. The battery compartment is equipped with an automatic to eliminate manual handling and overhead crane lifting/rigging operation. The design is a reliable solution which used robust components eliminating the need to stop the machine for recharging, replacement of batteries and frequent maintenance. The machine also utilizes a split bucket that optimize the cleaning capabilities and eliminates manual work. |
