In the potroom reduction cell, the anode yoke with four stubs is an integral part of the anode assembly. The anodes connected to the yoke are immersed in the electrolyte bath within the cell. During the smelting process, a large amount of electrical current passes through the anode yoke and the anodes. The design and quality of the anode yoke directly affect the efficiency of the electrochemical reaction, the stability of the anode operation, and ultimately the quality and productivity of the aluminium smelting process. It helps to maintain a stable electrical field within the cell and ensures the proper consumption of the anodes during the smelting operation.

In an aluminium smelter, the performance of each component in the potroom reduction cell is critical for the overall production efficiency and cost - effectiveness. The LFC cast steel anode yoke with four stubs contributes to the reliable operation of the smelting process. Its proper functioning reduces the risk of anode misalignment, electrical failures, and other issues that could lead to reduced production, increased energy consumption, or premature failure of the cell components. This, in turn, helps to improve the overall performance and competitiveness of the aluminium smelter.
