Power Jacks have been involved with anode positioning since the 1940’s when the very first commercial primary aluminium smelters were being established.

Power Jacks are continuously developing new products to keep customers designs at the leading edge of technology and performance. However we still support all our older technology (including geared air motors), that is still in service worldwide.

One of the latest developments is the AMT0300 anode jack. This is the cornerstone of the Generation 4 anode beam positioning system. The system is designed to meet the requirements of the latest pot designs, which have seen a significant increase in physical size and performance requirements. Both the new anode jack and its system have successfully completed potline testing and are now delivering impressive results in major potlines.

Power Jacks has supplied numerous anode jacking systems to smelters including the UK, Germany, USA, Iran, New Zealand, UAE and South-Africa.

Our anode jacking systems for positioning the anode beam are all designed to meet each customers’ specific requirement whether for Pre-Bake or Søderberg technology based smelters.

Our systems are designed and manufactured to deliver at least 30 years of trouble-free operation.
