The invention relates to a sliding cathode guide device forming a continuous channel comprising three well-defined zones, such as a head, a channel zone and a lower support zone. Said device, in the head zone, is designed in the form of a funnel for guiding the cathode as it descends, and has a head extension that allows it to be attached to the supporting structure. The head zone is filled with aggregate/polymer of the thermoformable resin type, and has holes for fixing the guide. In the channel zone, the depth of the guide is constant with the exception of an area in the form of an elbow where the channel is between 20% and 70% deeper. The lower support zone has two types of configuration that allow the distal part of the channel to be fixed and channelled. |
