Stripping cathodes from base plates in large scale metal refining - in large scale metal refining using automatic programmed machine with noise redn

摘要

Machine for detaching an electrodeposited metal cathode plae (C) from its base plate (B) a hammering device followed by a transfer unit, intermittently feeding a stripping device, the plates travelling through the machine. A first conveyor (d) transports an equidistant set of coated plates (CB) into the machine and a second oscillating conveyor (e) is used to transport the plates individually through the machine; detectors are employed to sense the arrival of a set of plates on conveyor (d) and further detectors are employed to actuate conveyor (e) and move the plates in an automatic sequence. Used in large scale metal refining, where the deposit (C) is automatically stripped form its base plate and the hammers are mounted in a noise redn. chamber.
