STRIP LAMINATOR CAGE WITH ONE INPUT SIDE AND STRIP OUTPUT AND PROCESS TO LAMINATE A METAL STRIP USING THE LAMINATOR CAGE

摘要

A substantial amount of liquid lubricant used in a cold strip rolling mill is prevented from remaining on the strip by locating an entry guide on the entry side and employing several zoned air nozzles which deliver a positive pressure to force the liquid in a direction toward the centre of the strip, and which nozzles are controlled according to the width of strip being rolled. The relatively small amount of liquid finding its way on to the delivery side is removed from the strip by providing in the strip exit guide both positive and negative air pressure means located above and below the strip, and negatively pressurised longitudinal enclosures located adjacent both edges of the strip and the said area at the ends of the rolls.
