Prebaked anodes are not only the conductive medium in electrolytic cells, but also a core factor affecting the production efficiency, energy consumption level and product quality of electrolytic aluminum. Their quality is directly related to the competitiveness of the entire electrolytic aluminum industrial chain.
As the electrolytic aluminum industry in Inner Mongolia transitions toward large-scale and high-end development, the local demand for high-quality prebaked anodes continues to rise, driving the accelerated implementation of local prebaked anode production projects.
Recently, the 300,000 tons/year prebaked anode project in Inner Mongolia, with deep participation from SBM, has successfully completed installation and commissioning, and was officially put into production in August.
The project took only 9 months from the start of construction to production, setting an industry-renowned "construction speed" and becoming a typical benchmark project with "fast construction and fast commissioning" in recent years.
Processing Material: Calcined Coke
Fineness: 200 Mesh
Application of Finished Product: Carbon Industry
Equipment Used: MTW European Trapezium Grinding Mill
At the initial stage of the project, the client was extremely cautious about the selection of grinding equipment. They not only required the equipment to operate stably for a long time, but also demanded that it be adaptable to the fast-paced progress of the project. The key reason why SBM stood out lies in the dual support of its "solid strength" and "excellent reputation" in the carbon industry.
Solid Strength Lays the Foundation
With nearly 40 years of in-depth experience in the grinding equipment field, SBM has developed and designed mature process solutions tailored to the grinding characteristics of raw materials such as calcined coke and petroleum coke in the carbon industry.
Previously, SBM has provided grinding equipment to a number of large domestic carbon enterprises, covering prebaked anode projects of various scales, from an annual output of 100,000 tons to 600,000 tons. The operational stability of the equipment and the qualification rate of finished product particle size have all been verified by the market.
Verification of Good Reputation
To further verify the actual operational performance of the equipment, the customer made a special trip to visit the production sites of 3 long-term carbon industry clients of SBM before signing the order. During the visit, the customer focused on three core dimensions:
Equipment Operation Status: All on-site equipment had been operating continuously and stably without major failures. Moreover, daily maintenance was convenient, and downtime was short.
Production Efficiency and Finished Product Quality: The actual production capacity met or exceeded the design standards, and the finished products had a uniform particle size distribution, fully meeting the production requirements of pre-baked anodes.
After-sales Service Response: Long-term clients reported that "SBM technical team can respond to after-sales requests within 24 hours, and the on-site problem-solving efficiency is high."
This "seeing is believing" positive feedback completely dispelled the customer's concerns, ultimately facilitating cooperation between the two parties. The customer selected 4 sets of SBM MTW European trapezium grinding mills as the core grinding equipment for the project.
Full-Process Services Provided by SBM During Project Advancement
During the project advancement, SBM provides full-process services. Starting from the equipment production phase, SBM established an exclusive project follow-up team, which regularly feeds back the production progress to the client to ensure the on-schedule delivery of the 4 sets of equipment. After the equipment arrived at the site, SBM dispatched a professional installation guidance team to station on-site. The team formulated a detailed installation plan in line with the project construction progress and worked closely with the client and the construction party to ensure that the equipment installation accuracy meets the process requirements.
At present, the entire project has been connected and put into operation, and the overall progress is in line with the project plan. This will bring significant economic benefits to the client and further consolidate the client's leading position in the carbon industry.
Continued Cooperation and Future Commitment of SBM
Based on the smooth cooperation in the first phase of the project, the client also chose SBM for the 4 sets of MTW European Trapezium grinding mills required for the second phase of its project (a 300,000-ton annual output pre-baked anode project). Currently, the equipment is in the delivery and installation phase, and the construction progress remains industry-leading.
SBM will continue to leverage its advanced advantages in the fields of intelligent equipment and green processes, join hands with industrial partners to support the low-carbon, efficient, and intelligent development of China's aluminum industry. Meanwhile, it will accelerate its "going global" pace to promote domestic high-end grinding equipment in serving the global aluminum industry chain.
