METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DRYING AND MAINTAINING IN THE DRY CONDITION, IN PARTICULAR, COLD-ROLLED TAPE IN THE EXIT ZONE OF THE COLD-ROLLING AND TAPE-ROLLING INSTALLATIONS

摘要

When drying or maintaining in a dry condition, in particular, of rolled strips (10), it is known to separate the dry zone (34) of a completely rolled strip from the wet space (35) of the rolling stand by means of a partition (12, 13; 14, 15). According to the invention, a non-contact sealing between the partition (12, 13; 14, 15) and the tape (10) is proposed by means of a compressed gas cushion similar to an air cushion, as well as a slit flow (31, 32), for which the compressed gas (33) is sent from a plurality of blowing nozzles (23) at right angles from the bars (18, 19) on the surface of the belt above and below. The international application was published together with an international search report.
