Lately the production of metals by using electrolysis has been using support structures of insulating material with vertical guides in order to maintain the anodes and cathodes in position inside the cells during the production process. Although this system resolves a series of problems, when for some reason the guides need to be repaired, it requires waiting until the end of the process , removing all the anodes and cathodes, emptying the electrolyte and removing the structure that supports the cell in order to execute the repairs. This procedure impli es delays and losses in production. This invention proposes a set of independent parts or pieces that have a particular morphology, they can be assembled and dismounted, which permits for the purpose of positioning the electrodes in cells for the electrodepositing of metals. With the functionality of the invention propose d here, the interruption of the electrowinning process as a consequence of any breaking or damaging that may occur to an electrode guide can be avoided. In this way th e invention contributes to the technique from the moment that it permits givin g continuity to the operation, accelerating it, and at the same time, maintain s the contribution of improving the service life of anodes and electrolyte from th e cells, from the moment that it no longer becomes necessary to empty the electrolyte from the cells, extract the guide structure to repair, correct or replace a guide , with the resulting risk of deterioration for the electrodes. |
