DEVICE FOR THE TRANSPORT OF SHEET STRIP, ESPECIALLY STAINLESS STEEL STRIP, IN CONTINUOUS OVENS OF GLOWING AND BEATING LINES.

摘要

The invention relates to a device for the transport of strip metal, particularly high grade strip metal, in the furnaces of annealing or pickling lines, having at least one driven and possibly cooled transport roller, which is arranged in the furnace and has a jacket made of a heat-resistant material. In order to reduce the strip standstill time for an exchange of transport rollers, a second reserve roller incorporated in the furnace being spared, the transport roller is to be supported without bearings on two driven support rollers and thus indirectly driven, and the transport roller and the support rollers are to be accommodated in a cooled chamber, which has a gap for the passage of the transport roller on its topside and the support rollers are to be movably arranged for the purpose of exchanging transport rollers in such a way that the transport roller to be exchanged can be accepted by an exchange device that can be brought into the chamber.
