How It Works
Potlining is a crucial step to maximize the life of pots. Ramming paste needs to be homogeneously compacted between the cathode blocks and at the pot walls to avoid infiltration and premature failure of the potlining.
The new STAS pot ramming machine is the result of a thorough development process. The machine uses the proven vibrocompaction approach in accordance to the standards of pot technology suppliers. The patent pending compactor ram is designed to move the compaction tool in a perfectly vertical trajectory, which will ensure uniform compaction while greatly facilitating the operation.
Key features
