An apparatus for stripping metal sheets from a cathode blank includes: a frame; a stripping assembly disposed on the frame; and a receiving mechanism including at least one receiving platform which is disposed on the frame for receiving the deposited metal sheets. The stripping assembly includes: first and second clipping mechanisms for clipping a conductive member on an upper end of the cathode blank; first and second stripping mechanisms for stripping the deposited metal sheets from two surfaces of the cathode blank; a bottom positioning mechanism for positioning a lower end of the cathode blank; and first and second loosening mechanisms each including a push rod which is movably disposed on the frame in the transversal direction for pushing the cathode blank.
