Abstract

A rapping mechanism is provided for rapping a row of electrodes (1) in an electrostatic precipitator. The electrodes (1) consists of vertical strip plates suspended from their upper ends and the mechanism comprises a horizontal rapping bar (3) connected with the lower end of each electrode (1) in the row and a hammer (4) for striking the bar (3) in its axial direction. The connection between the lower end of each electrode (1) and the rapping bar (3) is an elastic connection (8) configured with a predetermined elasticity.
