Fully Automatic Cathode Stripping Machine
High-Efficiency Cathode Plate Stripping Solution for Copper Electrowinning
The fully automatic cathode stripping machine is a high-efficiency automated equipment designed for large-scale copper electrowinning and electrorefining tankhouses. It completes the entire stripping process from cathode receiving, copper sheet separation, stacking to cathode plate returning, with minimal manual intervention.
As the core equipment of modern automated tankhouses, it works in coordination with crane systems and cathode handling equipment to form a complete automated production flow. It significantly improves stripping efficiency, reduces labor intensity and ensures consistent product quality.
Working Process
The fully automatic stripping machine completes the following steps in sequence:
- Cathode Receiving: Loaded cathodes lifted from cells are placed onto the input conveyor by crane or transfer system.
- Pre-Washing (optional): Residual electrolyte on cathode surface is washed off before stripping.
- Positioning & Alignment: Cathodes are aligned and positioned accurately for the stripping mechanism.
- Edge Separating: The edge of the deposited copper layer is separated from the cathode plate by mechanical wedges or rollers.
- Main Stripping: The copper sheet is fully separated from the permanent cathode plate by mechanical stripping mechanisms.
- Copper Sheet Stacking: Stripped copper sheets are stacked neatly to a set quantity for bundling or transfer.
- Cathode Return: Empty cathode plates are collected and returned to the cell loading side for the next cycle.
Main Components
- Input Conveyor System
Receives loaded cathodes from the crane and feeds them into the stripping machine at a controlled rhythm. - Pre-Washing Unit (optional)
Water spray system to clean residual electrolyte from cathode surfaces. - Positioning & Alignment Mechanism
Accurately positions each cathode for consistent stripping action. - Edge Opening & Stripping Mechanism
Mechanical wedges and stripping arms that separate the copper deposit from the cathode plate. - Copper Sheet Conveying & Stacking
Transfers stripped copper sheets and stacks them to preset quantities. - Empty Cathode Return System
Collects stripped cathode plates and conveys them back for reuse. - PLC Control System
Centralized automatic control with HMI interface for parameter setting, status monitoring and fault diagnosis.
