The On-Furnace Smelter Type Electrode Jointing Device allows for electrodeCarbon Electrode Handling Stack assembly to be accomplished on-furnace while the furnace is operational.  The components of this system allow for a new electrode section to be taken from horizontal to vertical, and flown to the furnace where it can be manually spun-down to meet the existing electrode at the same thread pitch.  Once that is completed, a pneumatic cylinder then initiates torque on the joint meeting the manufacturer's recommended torque value.  Below is a breakdown of the components and their operational duties:

 

 

Lift Assembly - Takes the new electrode section from the horizontal to the vertical and is flown to the furnace.

 

 

  

Manual Turning Band - Allows the operator to manual spin the new electrode section down to meet the existing electrode.  The self-lowering threaded stem allows for the spin-down to be performed at the same thread pitch as the column.

 

 

 

Torquing Bands - Once the electrode section has been spun-down, the pneumatic torquing band are positioned on the joint where the operator then initiates the pneumatic device; torquing the electrodes against each other.
