State of the art anode production technology. The vibrocompactor is the main component in the forming stage of the green anode in the paste plant. The paste for an anode is compressed in the vibrocompactor by dynamic and static mechanical forces.
The HAL vibrocompactor has been developed since 1959 and today the input of dynamic force is integrated to the cover weight (the vibrating mass on top of the anode paste). This results in more effective vibration and short vibration time. The feeding of paste is done from 2 hoppers in stationary position with minimal filling time of the mould. Production capacity is 36 anodes/hour at 22 s vibration time.
The compactor has few movable parts and the maintenance and operation cost is very low. Availability factor is measured to 99,5% over 5 years.

The main compactor body is separated from the floor using 12 rubber dampeners
Two paste bins, each equipped with load cells and hopper hatches
Main yoke featuring a central vibration unit and air spring yokes at each end
Interchangeable mould package consisting of a vacuum box, weight, and mould
The multi-functional machine for drilling and cleaning of tapping and discharge pipes is operated with remote control from the vehicle or in separate cabin placed close to the machine.
Storvik is a specialist in metal and bath tapping, we supply a wide range of products with the aim to improve the tapping and maintenance operation.
The Storvik Bath Removal Pusher removes fouling of electrolytic bath from top of the butts (remains of anode not fully utilised in electrolysis) which the longitudinal milling process could not reach.
The Storvik Bath removal Mill removes the fouling of electrolytic bath sticking to the top of the butts (remains of anode not utilised in electrolysis)
Storvik Anode stub cleaner performs cleaning of anode stubs and yoke in the anode service shop prior to rodding or eventually repair of stubs
With long experience from most industries and systems, we can choose the most optimal technical solution for the customers. With our innovative automation solutions, your business gets faster returns through increased efficiency and competitiveness.
Storvik are capable of doing computer simulation, by means of the “Finite Element Method” (FEM), of both simple parts and complex assemblies and structures.
All engineering for our projects is performed in-house, at our offices in Sunndalsøra, Kristiansund, Reykjavík (Island) or Prague.
Storvik delivers several automatic and manual systems for cleaning of hot and cold metal and bath crucibles
The pneumatic tube cleaning machine (Storvik PTCM) is delivered with separate compressor to achieve good air pressure and secure best performance of the machine and optimal cleaning of tubes.
Storvik AS has served the aluminium industry from the onset in Norway, and has contributed to the development of this industry for more than 60 years. Based on our experience, expertise and multidisciplinary approach we are today proud of presenting the ILRR (In Line Rod Repair).
3D engineering visualizations can effectively be used to demonstrate and explain the operation of processes and equipment in action.
Storvik has great knowledge into the processes and machinery used in the aluminium industry through our team of experienced engineers and a large day-to-day workforce doing maintenance and modifications at Europe’s largest primary aluminium plant.
Storvik can produce study reports based on pre-engineering activities.
At Storvik, each project is handled by a team of project managers that lead the overall development process with an aim to achieving the best trade-off between time, cost and quality, in cooperation with the customer.
