Abstract
An apparatus is described for automatically polishing cathode mother plates stripped of electrolytically deposited metal in an electrolytic metal recovery system, comprising a lift means to lift the mother plates from a conveyor carrying vertically disposed mother plates having been stripped of deposited metal, and two polishing means, each disposed adjacent to the lift means for polishing respective surfaces of the mother plates, whereby the mother plates are polished in a short period comparable to that required for conventional stripping operations, the polishing apparatus being incorporated in the stripping system.
Claims3
An apparatus for removing corrosion from cathode mother plates stripped of metallic electrodeposits in a stripping system comprising a conveyor for carrying the metal plates stripped of said deposits, lift means above said conveyor adapted to grip and lift said plates vertically above said conveyor,
- two polishing sections disposed adjacent to and at both sides of the said lift means, each including a head provided with cylindrical wire brushes on a plurality of horizontal shafts to polish the mother plates,
- and horizontal and vertical means disposed on each said polishing sections to direct the respective heads horizontally and vertically in communication with the mother plates respectively.
