The influence of the storage and transportation of electrode paste on the production of mine heat furnaces
The storage and transportation of electrode paste has a significant impact on the production of mine heat furnaces, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects：
1. The impact of electrode paste storage on the production of mine heat furnaces
Storage environment：
The electrode paste must be stored in a dedicated enclosed warehouse, and the ground needs to be hardened with concrete to ensure that the storage environment is clean and dry.
During the storage process, it is necessary to prevent external soil, impurities, etc. from mixing into the electrode paste so as not to affect its quality.
Storage management：
The electrode paste should be stacked neatly and in an orderly manner to avoid squeezing and bonding with each other.
Electrode pastes stored for a long time need to be covered with a tarpaulin to prevent quality changes caused by wind and sun.
Quality impact：
Improper storage environment and management may cause the electrode paste to deteriorate, which in turn affects its use in mineral heat furnaces.
Deterioration of the electrode paste may cause the quality of the electrode roasting to decrease, increasing the risk of electrode consumption and electrode accidents.
2. The impact of electrode paste transportation on the production of mine heat furnaces
Means of transport：
The carriages transporting electrode paste must be cleaned and it is strictly forbidden to mix with pulverized coal, dust or other impurities.
During transportation, make sure that the electrode paste is not damp or contaminated.
Transportation management：
During transportation, the electrode paste needs to be fixed and protected to prevent damage or deterioration of the electrode paste due to bumps or collisions.
The transportation time should be shortened as much as possible to reduce the quality loss of the electrode paste during transportation.
Quality impact：
When the contaminated electrode paste during transportation is used in a mine heating furnace, it may cause poor roasting of the electrode and affect the electrical conductivity and oxidation resistance of the electrode.
Damaged electrode paste during transportation may cause the electrode to break easily in the mine heat furnace, increasing the risk of electrode accidents.
3. Comprehensive impact
Electrode accident risk：
Improper storage and transportation of electrode paste may cause accidents such as soft breakage and hard breakage of electrodes in the mine heat furnace, affecting the normal production of the furnace.
Electrode accidents may cause the furnace condition to deteriorate, causing the electrode to rise, the bottom temperature of the furnace to drop, the output to drop significantly, and the power consumption to rise.
Production cost：
Improper storage and transportation of electrode paste may lead to increased electrode consumption, which in turn increases production costs.
The handling and repair of electrode accidents will also increase additional production costs and time costs.
Production safety：
Improper storage and transportation of electrode paste may cause safety hazards, such as fire, explosion, etc.
Electrode accidents may cause casualties and equipment damage, posing a serious threat to production safety.
Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the production of mineral heat furnaces, it is necessary to pay attention to the storage and transportation management of electrode pastes, strictly implement operating procedures, and ensure the quality and safety of electrode pastes.
