Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This competency unit typically covers items of equipment, such as:
carbon anode aluminium spray station
molten aluminium delivery
conveyors, power and free
aluminium melting furnace (may require MEM04001B Operate melting furnaces)
cranes (may require PMASUP237B Undertake crane, dogging and load transfer operations)
The plant technician would:
operate the aluminium spray station
operate molten aluminium delivery system
recognise and respond to 'out-of-parameter' issues
respond to emergency situations
identify and control hazards in the workplace.
Generally the operator would be part of a team during start up and shut down procedures and would be expected to be capable of demonstrating competence in all parts of this unit. At all times they would be liaising and cooperating with other members of the team.
This unit does not require the operation of a central control panel
This competency applies to plant technicians who operate equipment to spray aluminium on carbon anodes used in the aluminium smelting process.
