1st Step: How to Store and Transfer the Electrowinning Cells?
Proper installation of electrowinning cells is essential for efficient plant operation. This guide highlights key steps for safely receiving, storing, and transferring the electrowinning cells, emphasizing safety, precise handling, and adherence to local regulations to prevent damage and ensure optimal performance.
1. Receipt and on-site storage of electrowinning cells (if the electrowinning cells cannot be placed directly onto the concrete support beams from thetransport vehicle)
Choose a Suitable Storage Location
The ground where the cells are stored must be flat and strong enough to support their weight. A level surface prevents uneven pressure and ensures the cells remain stable.Set Up Safety Boundaries
For safety, mark the storage area with safety warning tape to restrict access and protect workers from potential hazards.Ensure Proper Environmental Conditions
After receiving the cells, store them in a clean, dry area away from extreme weather and contaminants. This helps protect the electrowinning cells from damage.Prepare Lifting Tools
Before moving the cells, check the lifting tools—such as forklifts, slings, and lifting beams—to make sure they are in good condition. Proper preparation ensures smooth handling.Precise Placement of Cells
Move the electrowinning cells to the designated location using a forklift, ensuring they are placed with precision. The cell must have all four feet on the ground at the same time to ensure the weight is evenly distributed.
2. Transferring the electrowinning cells from storage are to the electrowinning workshop
Move End electrowinning cells to Position
Following the installation plan, start by moving the end cells to their designated locations. Ensure that you select the correct end electrowinning cell according to the project drawings to avoid any errors during installation.Load electrowinning cells onto the Transport Truck
Use a forklift to carefully place the electrowinning cells onto the transport truck. Ensure the cells are securely positioned to avoid any shifting or damage during transport.Transport electrowinning cells to the Workshop
Once loaded, transport the cells to the electrowinning workshop under the supervision of the crane. Ensure the cells are safely guided under the crane hooks, and that the movement is controlled to prevent accidents.
3. Guidance of lifting the electrowinning cells by slings and cell lifting beam
Inspect Lifting Equipment
Before lifting, check the slings and lifting beam for any signs of damage. If they’re in good condition, attach the lifting beam to the top of the cell using the crane.Secure the Slings
According to the project drawings, wrap the slings around the bottom of the electrowinning cell to support it correctly.Prepare for Lifting
With the guidance of the on-site installation instructor, prepare to lift the cell and position it on the concrete support beam.Focus on Safety
Always monitor crane movement carefully. Make sure the lifting crew and other workers are safe. Check that the lifting beam and slings are stable to prevent accidents.
By following these steps, you ensure a safe and smooth lifting process for electrowinning cells.
