31 TRIMET, GERMANY TRIMET Aluminium SE cools green anodes with a procedure that is unique in the world so far. The pilot plant reduces use of resources without any active cooling by water. Instead, it relies on cooling by natural convection with outdoor air. Together with Vollert, an entirely new high-bay storage has been designed and built for this special task. At the same time, automated transport technology prevents transport damage, thereby reducing green anode scrap. Stacker transport during cooling is not necessary at all since the anodes are brought right from the forming table to the new high-bay warehouse without interim storage. 1 Stacker transport during cooling is not necessary at all since the anodes are brought right to the new high-bay warehouse without interim storage 2 At the same time, automated trans- port technology prevents transport damage, thereby reducing green anode scrap 2 1 ANODE WEIGHT up to 1,2 t REFERENCE PROJECT
