Abstract:Based on the production practice of the development, expansion and transformation of the Pb-Zn casting workshop of Baiyin Nonferrous Group Co., Ltd, this paper introduces the development path of the zinc melting and casting production line from manual operation, to the introduction of automatic ingot stacking robots, automatic bundling equipment, and intelligent equipment. The level of equipment has been improved and the number of labors has been reduced. The equipment has replaced labor, which solves the issues of repetitive and heavy physical labor and harsh working environment, and improves the production efficiency. With the progress of science and technology and the rapid development of network information, the ideas of the overall intelligence and digitization of zinc melting and casting production lines have been put forward, and “digital workshop” and “smart plant” in the future are envisioned.
