- the height adjustment can also be done by means of a spindle drive or as shown in Figure 1, for example by means of one or more hydraulic cylinders 23 which are mounted on one side on the hood car 22 and on the other side of the electrode carriage 40 and arranged to a Set relative distance in between.
- the rotatable and vertically movable electrode rod 40 allows the end face of the electrode 41 of a conventional V-shape, cf. 3a, in a flat U-shape, cf. Figure 3b, modify.
- the shape of the metal sump S under the electrode 41 is also changed from the V shape to a flat U shape.
- the smelting furnace 1 has one or more weighing cells (not shown in the figures) which are measuring cells for weighing the weight of the electrode 41 and / or the molten block S in the crucible 10.
- the load cells are installed below the bottom plate of the crucible 10 and / or on the electrode carriage 30 and / or on the stage wagon 12, particularly preferably below the fusible link 10. In this way, the measurement accuracy can be improved in a rotating furnace 1 with rotating electrode.
