Ready to use cathodes
RuC®
Design
Cathodic solution
without rodding +
cost saving &
productivity benefits
In February 2016, Tokai COBEX & Novalum started an exclusive collaboration agreement for the next generation cathodic solution.
The Ready to use Cathode (RuC®) solution is protected by a patent application filed on May 2015.
(PCT/IB2015/054325)
Conventional cathode design compared
to RuC® solution:
• Same cathode dimensions
• Same external machining
• Same cross section of end of steel bar
• Same end connection to flexibles
Same cathodes assembly design !
Benefits
RuC® will increase your operational margin
Fields of improvement:
Rodding
- Rodding Elimination
- Significantly reduced health and safety risks
- Installation & connection unaffected
- Increased consistency of cathodic assembly
Energy
- Reduced Specific Energy Consumption (SEC)
- Reduced cathodic resistance whilst maintaining thermal balance
Lifetime
- Additional cathode material and more even current density distribution extend pot life
Productivity
- Improved current density distribution enabling improved Current Efficiency (CE)
- Increased production
