VHE‘s Anode Spike Removal Machine is a portable spike removal device that quickly, safely and economically abrades away spikes and other irregularities, improving the geometry and extending the usable life of anodes. Spiked anodes are abraded whilst still hot, and then returned to the original stall. The machine is powered by the external hydraulic connection of the forklift used to transport it. Electrical power is also from the forklift.
