<p>A process and apparatus are disclosed for continuously manufacturing metallic anodes from molten metal. The process comprises continuously casting the molten metal in an inclined moulding cavity formed by two movable belts and by two movable side dams so as to produce a metallic strip, and by cutting the hot strip, when it has left the moulding cavity, with at least one plasma torch along a profile such that anodes with a low waste coefficient and without deformation are obtained (figure 1). This process allows the production of anodes made of very impure copper whereas conventional processes are limited to the production of anodes of relatively pure copper.</p> |
