ALBA – Aluminium Bahrain – has ordered a bath crusher from VHE for installation in ALBA‘s Rodding Plant no. 2. The crusher is scheduled to be delivered in mid-2014.
VHE's rotary bath crusher is a proven technology already operating at two smelters in Iceland.
Designed as a primary crusher, the hydraulically driven oscillating action provides an extremely durable and very low maintenance performance.
The crusher installed at Rio Tinto Alcan Iceland has been in continuous operation for ten years. It processes large pieces of bath emptied from spent anode butt transport trays. The discharge of <200 mm is delivered to the bath cleaning machine conveyor.
At Nordural in Iceland a larger version has operated since 2007 as the primary crusher below the bath cleaning machines, also discharging <200 mm.
