Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	This invention concerns a method and an apparatus for automated stripping of electrodeposited zinc sheets from aluminum cathode base plates. This is achieved using a stripping mechanism that has a single pivotable stripping arm assembly linearly movable on the side of a rack of cathodes suspended vertically in parallel alignment with one another. The single stripping arm assembly is automatically moved and positioned in alignment with each cathode and then pivoted so that the knives mounted at the end of the stripping arm assembly wedge between the cathode base plate and the zinc sheets on each side of the cathode and then proceed to peel or strip the zinc sheets from the cathode base plate. This is done until each cathode is so stripped. The apparatus is preferably provided with wheels for mobility.
