Abstract
In a continuous electrolytic processing apparatus for a metal strip, a variation in electrode distance is achieved by an electrode-holder positioning means 40 which comprises expansible tubes 6 elastically holding the electrode holder 7. A fluid medium is admitted into the expansible tubes 6 at an adjustable pressure or amount. The electrode distance can be adjusted to conform with the processing conditions at a value which allows very efficient processing.
Claims12
A continuous electrolytic processing apparatus for a metal strip, comprising:
- at least one electrode disposed to define an electrode distance between said electrode and said metal strip;
- an electrode holder for each of said electrodes, the position of at least one of said electrode holders being adjustable in relation the other holder;
- a means for positioning said electrode holder at an adjustable electrode distance and comprising at least one pair of expansible tubes elastically holding at least one of said electrode holders;
- and
- at least one system for supplying a fluid medium into said expansible tubes at an adjustable fluid pressure or amount.
