Abstract

An electrolytic processing device in which either or both surfaces of a belt-shaped metal plate can be selectively subjected to an electrolytic process. In a first electrolytic processing operation wherein only one surface of the belt-shaped metal plate is subjected to processing, an electrical insulating member is disposed between the belt-shaped metal plate and a first group of electrodes arranged over the surface of the belt-shaped metal plate to thereby suppress the flow of current between the belt-shaped metal plate and the first group of electrodes. In a second electrolytic processing operation in which both surfaces of the belt-shaped metal plate are subjected to processing, the electrical insulating member is removed from the position between the electrodes and the belt-shaped metal plate to thereby allow current to flow from the electrodes to both surfaces of the belt-shaped metal plate.
