ABSTRACT:
A crust breaker device used to break crusts of aluminum electrolysis cells includes a member to be driven for instance a piston/cylinder device with a piston rod in axial movement, essentially in a vertical direction. To a lower part of the member is connected a cutter bar or crow bar which is designed to be moved through the crust and make a hole therein. The cutter bar is connected to, but electrically isolated from the member by means of a fire proof material having insulation properties and that is cast and then hardened.
