2nd step:Installation, Leveling, and Alignment of Electrowinning Cells
In our previous article https://copperepc.com/how-to-install-the-electrowinning-cells/, we covered the essential steps for storing and transferring electrowinning cells. Now, in this article, we will focus on the next critical steps: leveling and alignment of the electrowinning cells.
1. Installation of electrowinning cells on the support pedestals or beams
After transferring the electrowinning cells to the installation site, the next step is to position them onto the support pedestals or beams. It’s important to follow all safety guidelines during this process and use the correct lifting equipment, such as cranes and lifting tools.
Start by lifting the electrowinning cell using appropriate rigging techniques. Carefully move the cell over the support beam with the crane. The movement should be slow and steady to avoid any sudden shifts. Once the cell is in place, make sure it is positioned accurately on the designated support beam.

2. Leveling and alignment of electrowinning cells
Once the electrowinning cell is in place, the next step is to level and align it properly. The position of the end cell should be determined based on the coordinates from the project drawings. Use leveling shims to adjust the height of the four support points of the cell. The tolerance for this adjustment should be within ±1mm.
When placing the electrowinning cells in a straight line, the centerline may shift slightly. This is okay as long as it stays within acceptable limits. After the end electrowinning cell is aligned, the on-site supervisor must approve the position before moving on to the next step.
The installation of intermediate electrowinning cells follows the same process. Each electrowinning cell must be aligned and positioned according to the project specifications. The supervisor must approve the centerline for each new electrowinning cell before continuing with the next one.
Important Notes:
-
The centerline tolerance between eletrowinning cells must meet the project’s requirements.
-
If the centerline is out of tolerance, contact the installation supervisor or the owner’s on-site engineer for advice on how to proceed.
