DEVICE FOR REMOVING A FLUID FROM THE SURFACE OF A LONG AND CONTINUOUSLY MOVING PRODUCT

摘要

Apparatus for rapidly cooling elongated products during the movement thereof in longitudinal direction mainly comprises an elongated tube, a cooling water feed head communicating with one open end of the tube and a separator communicating with the other open end of the tube. The cooling water feed head and the separator are respectively provided in walls facing the opposite ends of the tube with openings aligned with the tube axis through which the product passes surrounded by a cooling water jet during its passage through the tube into the separator. A first device is located in the separator for reducing the diameter of the cooling water jet, and a second device, preferably in form of a secondary water jet, extends transverse to the axis of the tube spaced from the first device, is provided in the separator for shearing the water jet of reduced diameter surrounding the product.
