Apparatus for contacting flat items in continuous galvanising installations

摘要

The apparatus is for electrical wet contacting of flat items (7) in galvanizing installations, with use of soluble or insoluble anodes (2) and clamps (4) attached to an endless circulating transport unit. The clamps consist of electrically conductive bare metal top and bottom members (13, 14) which are movable relative to one another, and have a contact point below the bath surface (8). The apparatus is provided with shields (15, 16) between the anodes and the clamps.
