The invention relates to a device for separating metal deposit from a mother plate used as a cathode in an electrolytic process, as metal electrorefining or metal electrowinning, in which device there is a supporting member for supporting the cathode to be treated, a member for releasing at least partly a metal deposit grown during the electrolytic process on a surface of the mother, and a member for support the released metal deposit. According to the invention the mother plate of a cathode ( ) is provided with a growth affecting means ( ) for creating an irregularity in the growth of the metal deposit ( ) to be used as a hinged member when the metal deposit ( ) is tilted to the mother plate of the cathode ( ) in order to break the metal deposit ( ) in two separate pieces along the irregularity in the growth.
