A method and apparatus for cleaning cryolite from spent anodes comprising an overhead spent anode transport which carries the spent anodes through a series of four processing stations, with the first processing station loosening the cryolite by means of a plurality of slide mounted jackhammers, the second processing station scraping off the loosened cryolite by means of a plurality of scraper blades carried on chains, a a third station at which the cryolite between the support rod posts is knocked loose by still another set of jackhammers, and a fourth station at which the topmost side surfaces of the spent anode are wire brushed free of any remaining cryolite.
