MILESTONES: 1) At the Anode baking furnace, the Pull bar Equipment Over travelling, resulting in the Drive Bearing, guide wheel, drive chain and equipment getting damaged, resulting in a long breakdown: By Keen observation Provided Mechanical limit switch in pull bar guide assembly prevents long break down and avoids Equipment damage.2) The idle roller conveyor shaft was secured with a frame by providing tapping on both sides and locked with fasteners So that during anode transfer, shat would not come out either side. Break down avoided by simple suggestion. Show less
