DECOILING OF A COILED STRIP

摘要

An unwinding device (1) for unwinding a strip (5) which had been wound to form a coil (3), in order for the unwound strip (5) to be hot-rolled. The unwinding device (1) has at least two bottom rollers (7) for supporting the coil (3) on the lower side of the coil, a detaching mechanism (9) for detaching a strip end (11) from the coil (3) on an unwinding side of the coil, and a downholder roller (13), (14) which is disposed at the coil (3) such that the downholder roller (13), (14) stabilizes the position of the coil (3) when the strip end (11) is being detached.
