Spent anodes generated during aluminum production usually contain residual bath materials, cryolite and other deposits that must be removed before carbon recovery or reuse.
The Anode Shot Blasting Machine uses high-speed abrasive impact and optimized workpiece handling to clean the entire anode surface, including difficult areas around the carbon block and supporting sections.
