Abstract
Apparatus for cleaning the so-called anode bars of electrodes re-cycled for use in electrolytic smelting comprises a frame with upstanding columns supporting a raisable and lowerable carriage. A table is displaceably supported between the columns on the carriage and a pair of depending swinging arms beneath the table support rotatable cleaning brushes which selectively engage on a bar to be cleaned. The brushes rotate inside extractor cowls from which air is sucked to withdraw dust and particles removed during cleaning. The cowls are urged with springs against the bar to be cleaned independently of the brushes to maintain the cowls in a set position regardless of any wear suffered by the brushes.
