An alignment tool is provided for aligning collecting plates of an electrostaticseparator in substantially a common plane. The alignment tool includes a pair ofelongated alignment members, at least one of which is of a convex configuration. The collecting plates, including any misaligned collecting plates, are sandwiched between the alignment members with the convex surface of one of the alignment members opposing the collecting plates. The convex member is then brought to a parallel position by forces applied to opposite ends thereof, and the alignment members are temporarily clamped in generally parallel relationship to each other which maintains the collecting plates aligned in a generally common plane. Thereafter, a rod of a permanent clamping mechanismhaving a plurality of loops is rested atop either of the alignment members and rotated to bring the loops into and through gaps between adjacent collecting plates. A second rod is passed through the loops and thereafter the alignment members are released and the clamping members retain the collecting plates in aligned relationship.

Outil permettant d'aligner les plaques collectrices d'un séparateur électrostatique dans un plan plus ou moins commun. Cet outil d'alignement comporte une paire d'éléments d'alignement longitudinaux, dont l'un au moins est de forme convexe. Les plaques collectrices, y compris toute plaque mal alignée, sont intercalées entre les éléments d'alignement de manière que la surface convexe de l'un des éléments d'alignement s'oppose aux plaques collectrices. Cet élément convexe est ensuite orienté parallèlement à l'aide de forces exercées sur ses extrémités opposées, les éléments d'alignement étant temporairement maintenus par serrage en position parallèle les uns par rapport aux autres pour que les plaques collectrices restent alignées dans un plan généralement commun. Par la suite, une tige faisant partie d'un mécanisme de serrage permanent à plusieurs boucles est placée au-dessus de chacun des éléments d'alignement et mis en rotation pour faire passer les boucles dans les espaces compris entre deux plaques collectrices adjacentes. On introduit alors une deuxième tige dans les boucles et l'on desserre par la suite les éléments d'alignement, les éléments de serrage suffisant alors à maintenir l'alignement des plaques collectrices.
