Automatic Cathode Stripping Machine
PRS automatic cathode stripping machine serves the diverse needs of copper electrowinning plants. Customers can choose either a semi-automatic or fully automatic version, depending on production scale. The machine includes a user-friendly control console that lets operators monitor and adjust the stripping process in real time.
With a stripping capacity of 150 cathode plates per hour, it fits perfectly for small to medium-scale operations. Operators can increase or slow down the stripping speed based on production targets, achieving both efficiency and cost savings.
Main Components of the Stripping Machine
- Receiving and Washing Conveyor
Cathode plates are delivered and washed in multiple stages to ensure cleanliness before stripping.
- Rotating and Transfer Arms
Precision arms accurately position cathode plates onto the stripping station and transfer empty blanks for reloading.
Stripping Station with Hammering System
At the heart of the machine, the stripping station combines mechanical hammering and clamping pressure.The lower end of the cathode plate is held and pressed.
The central section is hammered to loosen copper sheets.
The upper part is then separated by stripping knives.
This ensures copper sheets are cleanly peeled without damaging the stainless-steel blanks.
