Abstract

See full text

A process and apparatus for treating or handling scrap anodes are disclosed, which process comprises the steps of transporting scrap anodes suspended vertically from a pair of rails with their shoulder portions mounted on said rails by means of pushing projections mounted on a chain conveyer at intervals and in a downwardly protruding manner, said rails being provided under said chain conveyer; thrusting up the lower ends of the scrap anodes by means of a rotating plate during this transportation so that said scrap anodes may take a nearly horizontal position, said rotating plate being disposed under the rails and adapted for rotating vertically; thereafter moving said scrap anodes onto a supporting means provided adjacent to the rails and adapted to move horizontally by a working cylinder; hereupon stopping the scrap anodes and separating said supporting means from the scrap anodes thereby allowing them to drop down while maintaining their nearly horizontal position; receiving them on a receiving stand; turning said receiving stand 180.degree. in a horizontal plane; and thereafter lowering the receiving stand by a distance corresponding to the thickness of received scrap anodes by means of a lifting means.
