Self-adjusting system
The supply of material to all cells is self-regu-
lating. When oxide is removed from the ore
bunker of an electrolyte cell, the bunker is refil-
led immediately from the entire system (see fig.
4) The oxide flow is automatically shut when
the material cone level has reached the fill spout
discharge opening (see fig. 5). The filling spou-
ts can be varied to accomodate any type of
electrolyte cell (number of ore bunkers, point
feeders, etc.) Fig. 4: Filling of ore bunker
